Procedure for Designing a Reinforcing Bar Object Type

To design an reinforcing bar object type certain elements are mandatory and other elements are optional.

An reinforcing bar object type must contain a user feature (feature-based design) and a medium icon. Optionally, it can contain a small icon, a documentation guide and a design table.

The stages in this procedure are as follows:


Before you begin:
  • The input axis plays a prominent role in the user feature. You must create a knowledge formula of this input axis to create your user feature. For more information, see Procedure to add a formula of the input axis and manipulate the input curve for designing user features in the knowledge Base.
  • For adaptive reinforcing bars, a maximum of five input surfaces or planes participating to the user feature must be named as described in Step 7.
