Reinforcement
Use reinforcement tools to add reinforcement, such as rebar, reinforcement bars, or fabric to valid hosts, such as concrete columns, beams, walls, foundations, and structural floors.
Topics in this section
- Rebar
Place predefined rebar shapes or sketch custom rebar to reinforce your concrete modeling elements. - Rebar Shape Constraints and Cover
Rebar constraints set and lock the geometry of each rebar instance with respect to a concrete host element. Rebar cover is the internal offset of a concrete host to which rebar parametrically extends. - Rebar Numbering for Schedules and Annotation
Reinforcement elements are numbered on placement. Numbering allows identical reinforcement elements to be matched for schedules and tags. - Video: Number Rebar
Use rebar numbering and partitioning in your model. - Rebar Couplers
Use Rebar Couplers to connect or cap rebar instances. - Fabric Reinforcement
Place lap spliced fabric sheets in floors, walls and foundation slabs. A fabric reinforcement element is made up of 2 element types: fabric wire and fabric sheets. - Area Reinforcement
Use area reinforcement tools to place large amounts of evenly spaced rebar in floors, walls, foundation slabs, and other concrete hosts. - Path Reinforcement
Use the path reinforcement tools to layout a large amount of rebar along a path. - Move Rebar in a Set
Use the Edit Bars command to isolate selected rebar sets, or path or area reinforcement systems, select one or more individual bars and move, remove, or reset the bars. - Course: Detailing Structural Models - Concrete
