Module(s): Bar Reinforcement + Mesh Reinforcement
The FF Components tool allows you to use component groups to create bending shapes and their placements in a single step. Components can be adjusted using handles.
General notes on entering components
To place reinforcement for a component
Prior to selecting a component, you can use the Mirror across y axis option to mirror all components. This enables you to adjust unsymmetrical components to the existing shell.
This option applies to all the other components, too; but you can change it every time you enter a component.
For additional wall reinforcement you can enter the stirrup width as a fixed value or you can have the program determine the width automatically. In addition, you can enter the Number of bars and the Spacing of the longitudinal reinforcement.
For corbels, you can specify the concrete cover for the top and bottom horizontal stirrup. You can also configure the program to create additional stirrups in the column area if the corbel is smaller than the adjacent column.
For corbels with an inclined bottom, two separate areas are provided for can defining the horizontal and vertical stirrups in the area of the haunch.
Note: Use Record management to save component settings and retrieve them later.
You can use the Replace option to globally replace individual parameters by entering the old and new values.
For the column with three stirrup regions and some stair types, you can use to specify whether you want to create individual bending shapes as reinforcing bars or as bent-up mesh.
For additional wall reinforcement, you can use to expand the dialog box so that you can make specific settings for precast elements.
A preview of the component is attached to the crosshairs. Before you place it, you can define the placing parameters in the dialog box. Using the shortcut menu, you can specify how the bending shape is to be displayed and whether the entire component is to be mirrored.
When you modify the Steel grade, the dialog boxes for defining the reinforcement parameters will open again as the steel grade affects the anchorage lengths. The values calculated by the program are adjusted automatically.
You can only place the bending shape when
and the bar has not yet been placed automatically by the program.
