Rebar couplers connect adjacent rebar while simplifying the design of reinforced concrete.
Couplers interact with the reinforcement bars that they connect by modifying their physical dimensions. Couplers apply end treatments to connected rebar according to the connection needs of the coupler. Bar geometry shortens to accommodate the connection with the coupler.
Coupler families have customizable geometry. You can create and modify nearly any type of coupler with separate representations in 2D and 3D views. Type parameters define dimensions, the sizes of bars to which the coupler connects, and the end treatments that are applied to the rebar.
Similar to rebar, couplers:
- Are schedulable
- Are available to groups and assemblies
- Are exportable to various formats
- Propagate across rebar in sets
- Assignable to a host partition with unique coupler numbers
- Can be viewed unobscured in a host. However, couplers are always viewed as solids in 3D views
- Can be tagged.
