Edge and Corner Reinforcement (62): Picture tab

Use the Picture tab to control the edge and corner reinforcements, the cutouts, and the corner cutouts in the Edge and Corner Reinforcement (62) modeling tool.

Reinforcement

Option

Description

Define how the corners are reinforced.

Diagonal corner bars are created to an opening.

Diagonal corner bars are not created to an opening.

Aligned with slab slope

Select whether or not the edge bars, diagonal bars and U bars are aligned with the slope of a slab that has different corner thicknesses.

The default value is Yes.

Cutouts

Option

Description

Edge bars are not created to the cutout.

Edge bars are created above the cutout for the defined length.

Edge bars are created above the cutout.

Edge bars are created to the cutout.

Reinforce opening

Select whether openings are reinforced.

Max block cut size

Define the size limit for the cutouts that affects the edge and corner reinforcement and the diagonal bar creation.

Edge and corner reinforcement are not created to cutouts that are smaller than the defined size.

Diagonal bars are not created to cutouts that are smaller than the defined size.

Corner cutouts

Option

Description

Edge bars on both sides of the corner cutout are bent.

This option overrides the Corner bar options 1, 2, and 3.

Both the edge bars and the U bars are moved a distance equal to the length of the shorter side of the cutout.

No bars are moved. Edge bars are created as if there was no cutout.

Max corner cut out size

Define the size limit for the corner cutouts.

Edge or corner reinforcement are not created to cutouts that are smaller than the defined size.

Min hole size

Define a size limit for the holes.

Edge and corner reinforcements are not created around holes that are smaller than the size limit. If the hole is not rectangular or round, the size of the hole is determined by the maximum dimension of the bounding box around the hole.

For example, if you do not want to create edge or corner reinforcement around holes that are 200 mm or smaller, enter 200.
