The Reinforcement UShapeRebar tool allows the user to create a set of U-shaped reinforcing bars inside an Arch Structure object.
This tool is part of the Reinforcement Workbench, an external workbench that can be installed with the Addon Manager.

The Reinforcement UShapeRebar tool can be used in macros and from the Python console by using the following function:
Rebar = makeUShapeRebar(f_cover, b_cover, r_cover, l_cover,
diameter, t_cover, rounding, amount_spacing_check, amount_spacing_value, orientation="Bottom",
structure=None, facename=None)
Rebar object from the given structure, which is an Arch Structure, and facename, which is a face of that structure.
structure nor facename are given, it will take the user selected face as input.f_cover, b_cover, r_cover, l_cover, and t_cover are inner offset distances for the rebar elements with respect to the faces of the structure. They are respectively the front, bottom, right, left, and top offsets.diameter is the diameter of the reinforcement bars inside the structure.rounding is the parameter that determines the bending radius of the reinforcement bars.amount_spacing_check if it is True it will create as many reinforcement bars as given by amount_spacing_value; if it is False it will create reinforcement bars separated by the numerical value of amount_spacing_value.amount_spacing_value specifies the number of reinforcement bars, or the value of the separation between them, depending on amount_spacing_check.orientation specifies the orientation of the rebar; it can be "Bottom", "Top", "Right", or "Left".import FreeCAD, Arch, UShapeRebar
Structure = Arch.makeStructure(length=1000, width=1000, height=400)
Structure.ViewObject.Transparency = 80
FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.recompute()
Rebar = UShapeRebar.makeUShapeRebar(50, 20, 20, 20,
8, 50, 4, True, 6, "Bottom", Structure, "Face4")
Rebar.ViewObject.ShapeColor = (0.9, 0.0, 0.0)
Rebar2 = UShapeRebar.makeUShapeRebar(50, 50, 20, 20,
8, 50, 4, True, 6, "Bottom", Structure, "Face6")
Rebar2.ViewObject.ShapeColor = (0.0, 0.0, 0.9)
You can change the properties of the rebar with the following function:
editUShapeRebar(Rebar, f_cover, b_cover, r_cover, l_cover,
diameter, t_cover, rounding, amount_spacing_check, amount_spacing_value, orientation,
structure=None, facename=None)
Rebar is a previously created UShapeRebar object.makeUShapeRebar() function.structure and facename may be omitted so that the rebar stays in the original structure.import UShapeRebar
UShapeRebar.editUShapeRebar(Rebar, 50, 50, 20, 20,
16, 20, 5, True, 5, "Top")
UShapeRebar.editUShapeRebar(Rebar2, 70, 50, 20, 20,
16, 70, 5, True, 5, "Top")
