This option is used to enable a more exact definition of the method of reinforcement distribution. Access this dialog by selecting the Detailing options tab in the Reinforcement: definition and detailing dialog. The following dialog displays:
In the left side of the dialog three icons are provided:
- for this type no parameters are determined: the whole surface is covered evenly with bars
- defines passing distribution: every second bar extends from edge to edge, as regards the remaining ones, they end in a proper distance from the edge; middle bars are always straight bars; two edit fields enable defining the length of the middle bars and the additional icon located between the edit fields is used for changing the array (see the drawing below)
- defines passing distribution: bars in the distribution are of the same shape, however, they are shifted with respect to each other; if there is an opening (in the zone near support), application of this distribution type is not justified, then the uniform distribution is applied.
The support width option is inaccessible; it is used when defining distribution above supports.
