The Reinforcement - definition and detailing dialog consists of the following tabs:
Access the dialog by clicking OK, from the Surface reinforcement - bars dialog.
After defining a region, a direction of distribution is suggested automatically; the direction may be subject to modifications (by selecting an edge or by defining two points). Reinforcement distribution is always perpendicular with respect to the distribution direction. Length of bars in the distribution is adjusted to the shape of a region contour considering the cover and occurrence of openings, if need be.
The distribution is divided automatically into sectors (in case of a fairly complicated contour shape). Reinforcement in each of the sectors is described separately.
After definition of reinforcement and its distribution within the defined region, the Reinforcement description dialog displays.
