    Reinforced concrete design update

    Good day all

     

    I have allready posted a question on South African Rebar, stating that Robot cannot handle it. I was wondering where to post a suggesstion to Autodesk that in their next release they enable Robot to design according to Eurocode the rebar for a concrete structure, using any local (e.g. South African) rebar database.

     

    This is analogous to the steel design, where the South African steel section database may be used in a design according to Eurocode.

     

    Warm regards

    It is actually possible (it is also possible to use rebars that are created by a user with new grades and diameters). The points is somewhere else I think - you would like to have bar shapes governed by the selected rebar database whereas it depends on the selected design code instead . Due to this you can use your own or modified existing reinforcement database.

    Thank you for the speedy reply..

     

    I am sorry, I do not understand what you are trying to tell me. How do I create or modify a rebar database? 

     

    I also cannot acces the attachment. (EC2 with SA rebar.PNG)

     

    Regards

    Thanks again, but I did have these settings. My only problem is that the shape code is does not correspond to the south african shape codes, they remain British. I will try all the other methods so long

     

    I really appreciate your swift help

    RBCR-044.dwt. The number of  the template corresponds to the given country calling code. Isn't it obvious? :smileywink:
