Rebar Container¶
A SOFiSTiK Rebar Container is a group of rebar sets with the same rebar shape, bar diameter and material in one host. The tools Group, Stretch/Trim, Align and Explode can combine rebar sets to a rebar container.
The advantages of using rebar containers are¶
Individual annotation and detailing styles can be achieved.
Combined bars with variable segment lengths in schedules.
Improved performance by combining multiple rebars.
Customized rebar set’s alignment and layout
Available Container Types¶
Depending on the distribution and layout of the combined rebar sets, a distinction is made between the following container types.
SOFiSTiK_RebarSet¶
- Layout Rules
All rebars have the same length
Bending planes of all rebars have to be parallel
Beginning (or end) of all of the rebars need to lay on the the common straight line.
Rebars have to be perpendicular to distribution line
Spacing between all the rebars has to be equal
SOFiSTiK_Moved_RebarSet with Special Layouts¶
- Layout Rules
All rebars have the same length
Bending planes of all rebars have to be parallel
- You can create the following special layouts by grouping two rebar sets (or rebar containers) with equal spacing between all bars.
SOFiSTiK_Moved_RebarSet_Segmented
SOFiSTiK_Moved_RebarSet_Alternate
SOFiSTiK_Moved_RebarSet_Alternate_Staggered
SOFiSTiK_Variable_RebarSet with Special Layouts¶
- Layout Rules
Bending planes of all rebars have to be parallel
- You can create the following special layout by grouping two rebar sets (or rebar containers) with equal spacing between all bars.
SOFiSTiK_Variable_RebarSet_Alternate
SOFiSTiK_Polar_RebarSet¶
- Layout Rules
Bending planes of all rebars intersect in one line.
The rebar container SOFiSTiK_Polar_RebarSet will be created by the Explode tool at a Path Reinforcement along an arc.
SOFiSTiK_General¶
The rebar container SOFiSTiK_General will be created if none of the other layout rules apply.
