|
Class |
Use to group reinforcement.
For example, you can display bars of different classes in different colors.
|
Mesh type |
Shape of the mesh. Select Polygon , Rectangle , or Bent.

To create a Standard mesh, click the ... button and select a mesh from the mesh catalog.
The properties of standard meshes are defined in the mesh_database.inp file.
To create a custom mesh , select the Custom mesh option and define the properties.
|
Grade |
Steel grade of the bars in the mesh.
Available for custom meshes.
|
Bending radius |
Internal radius of the bends in the bar.
Available for bent meshes.
|
Hooks |
See Add hooks to reinforcing bars.
Available for bent meshes.
|
Cover thickness on plane |
Distance from the part surface to the main bars on the same plane as the bars. |
Cover thickness from plane |
Distance from the part surface to the bar, or bar end, perpendicular to the bar plane. |
Start |
Thickness of concrete cover or leg length from the mesh starting point.
Available for rectangular and bent meshes.
|
End |
Thickness of concrete cover or leg length at the end point of the bar.
Available for bent meshes.

Custom properties |
You can create user-defined attributes to add information about reinforcement. Attributes can consist of numbers, text, or lists.
You can use the values of user-defined attributes in reports and drawings.
You can also change the name of the fields, and add new ones, by editing the objects.inp file. See Define and update user-defined attributes (UDAs).
