Reinforcement pattern - Wire fabric

Select the Wire fabric tab on the Reinforcement pattern dialog to define wire fabric placement.

Reutilization of cut-offs filters the wire fabric left-overs produced during the division of wire-fabric sheets. The filtering assigns the wire-fabric cut-offs that do not meet the criterion of minimum area or minimum size to the category of waste. The remaining cut-offs (that meet the selected criterion) will be taken into consideration during calculations of the next plate (calculations from the list) and may be used in preparing reinforcement of the next plate.

Wire fabric: horizontal division and vertical division independently selects the manner of cutting wire-fabric sheets for horizontal and vertical reinforcement. Modular cutting of wire-fabric sheet obtains patterns that will use the entire sheet, reducing further work.

Reinforcement Details are concerned with wire fabric reinforcement. They determine the manner of reinforcement in the vicinity of supports and openings. Two possibilities of designing reinforcement over a column are provided.

The option involving reinforcing bars enables more economical use of wire fabrics.

Reinforcement near openings can be designed by means of three methods:
