Rebar (Array)

Summary


  • Create a Rebar Group by placing the drawn Rebar in 3D.

 

How to Run


  • Ribbon Menu > [Model] Tab > [Component] Group > Rebar > Array

 

Explanation


Tapered Array Method

Arrange the rebars using the Taped Array method.

This reflects the changes in the rebar shape according to the longitudinal section change of the side section.

[Tab] Property

  • [Arrangement]
    Sets the placement interval for the transverse rebar.

> Refer Arrangement


[Tab] Array

  • [Method]
    Choose how the rebars are arranged. Array setting changes based on the arrangement method.

    • Select Tapered Array.

  • Tapered Array : Specifies the rebar arrangement for the shape of the object. This reflects the changes in the rebar shape according to the longitudinal section change of the side section.

  • Array Along Path : Specifies the rebar arrangement as a path. Only changes to the section above the Rebar Draw Plane are considered and longitudinal section changes are not reflected.

  • Sweep Array : Arrange rebars by randomly specifying the path of the draw points that make up the transverse rebar. Rebars can be arranged regardless of the shape of the member.

  • Cancel Array : Restores the arranged rebars to the Draw Plane state before the arrangement.

  • [Select Rebar]
    Select the rebars (Draw Plane Status) to arrange.

  • [Select Array Target Member]
    Select the target member on which the selected rebars will be arranged. Do not check if rebars are arranged on a single member.

  • [Define End Plane]
    Defines the plane of the end point where the rebars will be arranged.

  • [Reference Path of Spacing]
    Defines the arrangement path of the rebar.

    • Geometric Line of 1D Member : Specifies the center line of the selected member as the array path.

    • Select Edge : Line Select a Line object and set it as the Array path.

  • [Longitudinal Rebar Option]
    Sets the criteria for the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal rebar.

  • Follow Transverse : Longitudinal bars are created along the arrangement of transverse bars.

  • Follow Path : Longitudinal rebars are created along the Array Path. In other words, longitudinal rebars are created in parallel to the Array Path.

 

Array Along Path Method

Arrange the rebars using the Array Along Path method.

Only changes to the section above the Rebar Draw Plane are considered and longitudinal section changes are not reflected.

[Tab] Property

  • [Arrangement]
    Sets the placement interval for the transverse rebar.

> Refer Arrangement


[Tab] Array

  • [Method]
    Choose how the rebars are arranged. Array setting changes based on the arrangement method.

    • Select Array Along Path.

  • [Select Rebar]
    Select the rebars (Draw Plane Status) to be arranged.

  • [Select Array Target Member]
    Select the target member on which the selected rebars will be arranged. Do not check if rebars are arranged on a single member.

  • [Define End Plane]
    Defines the plane of the end point where the rebars will be arranged.

  • [Reference Path of Spacing]
    Defines the arrangement path of the rebar.

    • Geometric Line of 1D Member : Specifies the center line of the selected member as the array path.

    • Select Edge : Select a Line object and set it as the Array path.

  • [Longitudinal Rebar Option]
    Sets the criteria for the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal rebar.

  • Follow Transverse : Longitudinal bars are created along the arrangement of transverse ewbars.

  • Follow Path : Longitudinal rebars are created along to Array Path. In other words, longitudinal rebars are created in parallel to the Array Path.

 

Sweep Array Method

Arrange the rebars using the Sweep Array method.

Arrange the rebars by randomly specifying the path of the draw points that make up the transverse rebars.

[Tab] Property

  • [Arrangement]
    Sets the placement interval for the transverse rebar.


[Tab] Array

  • [Method]
    Choose how the rebars are arranged. Array settings change depending on how they are arranged.

    • Select Sweep Array.

  • [Select Rebar]
    Select the rebars (Draw Plane Status) to be arranged.

  • [Select Array Target Member]
    Select the target member on which the selected rebars will be arranged. Do not check if rebars are arranged on a single member.

  • [Draw Point Path]
    Define the path for each Draw Point of the transverse rebar. If any of the Draw Points are not specified, then the rebars will not be arranged.

  • [Define End Plane]
    Defines the plane of the end point where the rebars will be arranged.

  • [Reference Path of Spacing]
    Defines the arrangement path of the rebar.

    • Geometric Line of 1D Member : Specifies the center line of the selected member as the array path.

    • Select Edge : Select a Line object and set it as the Array path.

  • [Longitudinal Rebar Option]
    Sets the criteria for the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal rebar.

  • Follow Transverse : Longitudinal rebars are created along the arrangement of transverse rebars.

  • Follow Path : Longitudinal rebars are created according to Array Path. In other words, longitudinal rebars are created in parallel to the Array Path.

 

Cancel Array Method

Restores the arranged rebars to the Draw Plane state before the arrangement.

[Tab] Array

  • [Method]
    Choose how the rebars are arranged. Array setting changes based on the arrangement method.

    • Select Cancel Array.

  • [Select Rebar]
    Select an arrayed rebar group. The User can select multiple rebar group.
