Description

The Reinforcement ColumnRebars tool allows the user to create reinforcing bars inside a Column Arch Structure object. This page shows an additional usage example for the tool.

This tool is part of the Reinforcement Workbench, an external workbench that can be installed with the Addon Manager.

Three usage examples are available:

Circular reinforcement inside a column

Usage

1. Select top face of a previously created Arch Structure object.

2. Then select Column Reinforcement from the rebar tools.

3. A dialog box will pop-out on screen as shown below.

Dialog Box for the Arch Rebar ColumnReinforcement tool

4. Select the Circular Column radio button in column reinforcement dialog.

Dialog Box for Circular Column Reinforcement

5. Give inputs for data related to circular column reinforcement.

6. Click OK or Apply to generate circular column reinforcement.

7. Click Cancel to exit the dialog box.

The Reinforcement ColumnRebars_Circular tool can be used in macros and from the Python console by using the following function:

Create Circular Column Reinforcement

RebarGroup = CircularColumn.makeReinforcement(
    s_cover,
    helical_rebar_t_offset,
    helical_rebar_b_offset,
    pitch,
    dia_of_helical_rebar,
    main_rebars_t_offset,
    main_rebars_b_offset,
    dia_of_main_rebars,
    number_angle_check,
    number_angle_value,
    structure=None,
    facename=None,
)

Example

import FreeCAD, Draft, Arch
from ColumnReinforcement import CircularColumn

Circle = Draft.makeCircle(radius=250)
Structure = Arch.makeStructure(Circle)
Structure.ViewObject.Transparency = 80
FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.recompute()

RebarGroup = CircularColumn.makeReinforcement(
    s_cover=20,
    helical_rebar_t_offset=40,
    helical_rebar_b_offset=40,
    pitch=50,
    dia_of_helical_rebar=8,
    main_rebars_t_offset=20,
    main_rebars_b_offset=20,
    dia_of_main_rebars=16,
    number_angle_check=True,
    number_angle_value=6,
    structure=Structure,
    facename="Face3",
).rebar_group

Edition of Circular Column Reinforcement

You can change the properties of the helical and main rebars with the following function: 

rebar_group = editReinforcement(
    rebar_group,
    s_cover,
    helical_rebar_t_offset,
    helical_rebar_b_offset,
    pitch,
    dia_of_helical_rebar,
    main_rebars_t_offset,
    main_rebars_b_offset,
    dia_of_main_rebars,
    number_angle_check,
    number_angle_value,
    structure=None,
    facename=None,
)

Example

from ColumnReinforcement import CircularColumn

rebar_group = CircularColumn.editReinforcement(
    rebar_group,
    s_cover=30,
    helical_rebar_t_offset=30,
    helical_rebar_b_offset=30,
    pitch=60,
    dia_of_helical_rebar=10,
    main_rebars_t_offset=-30,
    main_rebars_b_offset=-30,
    dia_of_main_rebars=18,
    number_angle_check=False,
    number_angle_value=45,
    structure=Structure,
    facename="Face3",
)
