Topics in this section
  • About Reinforcement
    Use reinforcing tools to add reinforcement elements, such as rebar, reinforcing bars, or fabric, to valid hosts, such as a concrete beam, column, structural floor, or foundation.
  • About Reinforcing Concrete Parts
    Concrete parts created from surface elements (such as walls and floors) possess rebar cover and can host rebar, rebar sets, area reinforcement, path reinforcement, and fabric reinforcement.
  • General Reinforcement Settings
    Specify settings to shape match by referencing hooks and to display independent rebar elements in area and path reinforcement.
  • Place Rebar
    Place individual rebar instances in valid hosts.
  • Sketch Planar Rebar
    Use common sketch tools for manual placement of rebar shapes within a valid host.
  • Video: Detail with Multi-Planar Rebar
    Place sets and instances of multi-planar rebar in your model to accommodate design and use of different methods of reinforcement.
  • Sketch Multi-planar Rebar
    Use common sketch tools to define rebar shapes that are bent in two planes.
  • Create Standard 3D Rebar Shapes by Rotating Hooks and Cranks
    Place rebar with 3D rotated hooks or cranks or rotate the hooks or cranks of existing bars. When you rotate the hooks or cranks at the ends of rebar, a 3D rebar shape is created, if the bar, hook and crank segments are no longer in the same plane.
  • Adjust the Visibility for Rebar and Rebar Couplers in a View
    Rebar elements in a model are contained within host elements. In hidden line view they are obscured by the host. You can set overrides for each view in a project, so the rebar design can be documented.
  • Place a Rebar Set
    Add a linear set of rebar in a section view of a host.
  • Free Form Rebar
    Learn how to place rebar and rebar sets in concrete modeling elements with complex geometry.
  • Propagate Rebar
    Copy and adapt shape driven and free form rebar from the source host to destination hosts. The bars are adapted by matching the rebar constraints.
  • Video: Adaptive Rebar Propagation
    Add rebar to elements based on rebar already placed in your model.
  • Splice Rebar
    Splice one or several rebar sets at the selected position or by length.
  • Define and Add a Rebar Crank
    For existing rebar in the project or during rebar placement, you can assign cranks to bar ends or change to a rebar shape that has a crank already assigned.
  • Define and Add a Rebar Hook
    After placing rebar in a host, you can modify rebar properties to assign hooks.
  • Rebar Instance Properties
    View and modify the parameters that define the instance properties of rebar.
  • Rebar Type Properties
    View and modify the parameters that define the type properties of rebar elements.
  • Rebar Shape Family Properties
    Modify a rebar shape family to define classification across all types of the shape in your model.
