Dear support!
I failed to design RC Beam through standalone module.
I do not quite understand what this error means ‘Insufficient bottom reinforcement area near the edge support’.
Appreciate your help!
Solved! Go to Solution.
There is no main reinforcement in the beam. I have calculated it again to have the main bars distributed in the beam.

Thank you!
It seems that the reason why I have no main reinforcement in the beam is because Robot can not read ‘barlib7_iso.xml’.
I located file in Program Data\Autodesk\Structural\Common Data\2012\Data\Reinf. Why the path is missing?
Do you have this warning displayed when you try to calculate the beam?
No.
I saw this warning for the first time immediately after opening your file with the results.
Please open your original file. In Job Preferences add the bar database you want to use and mark it as default. Calculate the beam - is it ok?

Still the same. Even tried to add another reinforcement database.
The warning about ‘barlib7_iso.xml’ appears after opening the file, not during the calculation.
I understand that you have the warning when you open my file but from what you wrote I assume that you hadn't have it working with your original file therefore I wanted you to open the file you had created (the one you attached on the forum) and calculate it after declaring the reinforcement database. The ultimate goal is to have the main reinforcement generated. Could you try to do this please?

I tried with the original file (not the one you have calculated).
When I start the beam from the scratch I do not have any warnings during the parameters input, however after calculation I receive ‘insufficient reinforcement error’.
I save file and reopen then the warning about ‘*.xml’ appears.
Could you open your file and make a similar screen capture from Job Preferences (with list of reinforcement bar database declared) to the one I posted please?
Please select the EN database and press the V icon above. Press OK. Calculate the beam - do you have the same issue with generation of the main bars?
I'm sorry to ask again but could you make two more tests please?
1. Are main bars generated when you use standard settings?
2. Are they generated for a rectangular beam?
Sorry to admit but ‘*.xml’ warning message popped up just after I pressed ‘Reinforcement pattern’ icon.
Is it possible to reassign missing path to ‘*.xml’ file without reinstalling the program?
Please try to register syspath.dll
regsvr32 "c:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\Structural\COM\2012\syspaths.dll"
or
regsvr32 "c:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\Structural\COM\2012\x64\syspaths.dll"
Please make sure you run Command Prompt as admin (available under RMB)
