Then it decides on the reinforcement value that separates dense&nbsp;rebar spacing and standard reinforcement spacing in each of the zones. If you enter 50% it means that in each of the zones there may be up to 50% or rectangles with standard (larger spacing). If there is more the zone is redefined. For 70% only 30% rectangles could be such that the are of reinforcement with larger (standard) spacing would be sufficient&nbsp;meaning you will have more zones generated than for the 50% value.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><EM>If you find your post answered press the Accept as Solution button please.
