RC Design Module - Change steel grade of existing manual reinforcement

[Joe_Hughes]

Hello,

How can I change the steel grade of the existing reinforcement I've manually modelled.

- The reinforcement grade was initially set with a fy=410N/mm2.

- I've updated the moving-load load cases therefore I've had to re-run the analysis to send the info to the RC Design Module.

- Then to re-establish the manually inputted reinforcement I had to copy the initial reinforcement to the clipboard, then paste into the RC Design Module once the model was re-analyzed for the updated moving loads. However during the copy & paste process the steel grade of the reinforcement changed from fy=410N/mm2 to B500C. How can I change to 410N/mm2?

Note I initially worked on the file in 2018 using Robot version 2016. However I've updated the moving loads, then copy & pasted the reinforcement into the RC Design Module in 2021 using Robot version 2019.

File is 88MB therefore unable to attached it.

Thanks,

Joe

Problem solved, I've answered my own question again.

Go into Tools > Job Preferences > Reinforcement > Edit the selected database.

Then in the RC Design Module, go to calculation options then select the desired steel grade. Then re-run the calculation within the RC Design Module.
