Question:
I am trying to use trigonometric functions in Rebar Shape Manager but I do not see anything in reports. What am I doing wrong?
 
Answer:
When trying to map angles and trigonometric functions, you need to write the functions (sin, cos, tan) in small letters, as shown inside the brackets. If capital letters are used, the letters are not recognized, and a blank space will appear in reports. Another thing to note is that it is no longer needed to convert the angles to radians, as when using rebar_schedule_config.inp. For example, you can now write simply sin(A1) instead of sin(A1*PI/180).
