Show single bars

Module(s): Mesh Reinforcement

You can use the Show Single Bars tool to display just a single bar in a mesh. This is useful if you want to show the position of asymmetrical meshes in a component in a clear manner. Requirements: the mesh must be an entire mesh; it must not be cut, nor can it be bent. Also, the mesh's single bar representation has to have been defined in the Cross-Section Catalogs.

To display meshes by showing how individual bars are arranged

1. Click Show Single Bars (How).
   

   Activate Show Single Bars in one of the following ways

   • Menu bar: Create Engineering Mesh Reinforcement

   • Palette: Tools Create area in the following module(s):

   Mesh Reinforcement

   • Configuration: Engineering Display flyout
2. Click a mesh.
   The mesh diagonal and text are deleted and its bars are displayed.
   

Notes:

• You can only display single bars in meshes that are neither cut nor bent and that do not belong to a mesh group (displayed using a group symbol). The display is dependent on the placing angle and is based on an angle of 0 degrees.
• If the mesh is modified at a later time using Modify Shell, Modify Placement Parameters and Modify Local Placement Parameters, the original view is restored.
