Updated ‘Automatic Reinforcement’ tool with ‘Pattern’ option

In the updated version of the Arrange reinforcement automatically tool, there is a new options - Patterns, which improves the process of generating the zones of additional reinforcement in floor slabs.

Tool Description:

In the Patterns dialog box, the user could manage a set of dimension-types for the additional reinforcement. Here it is possible to define the standard parameters that will be used for the automatic arrangement of reinforcement in the slab, taking into account the design and real values of reinforcement.

Configuration options:

• Rebar diameter
• Rebar spacing
• Grid dimensions (BxH)

The program takes into account that not every dimension-type set can perfectly meet all design requirements. Therefore, flexibility is maintained for correct adaptation to avoid errors due to inappropriate patterns. If the specified dimension-types meet the design situation, the program will give priority to these standard variants.

Benefits:

• Efficiency: The generation of reinforcement patterns for slabs speeds up because the suitable dimension-types are applied automatically.
• Save and reuse: Frequently used parameters of grids may be saved and applied to future projects, increasing productivity and convenience.

This tool ensures quick and precise arrangement of reinforcement by emphasising the use of diameters and dimensions relevant to the design situation.
