Reinforcement WB

[alex_V]

Hi guys I've been working with the rebar addon and I'm trying to improve the way the objects are created. I created a tool for Wire Reinforcement Columns.
As you can see you only need to select the type of reinforcement you want,the faces for rebar and stirrup ( It also supports triangular stirrups) and edit, if you want to, the spacing, rebar diameter, rebar length, stirrup diameter,etc. So in 3 clicks you will have a reinforcement (with overlap) in your structure instead of having to create each rebar and stirrup.

I just need a little help, The Arch.makeRebar command doesn't work when the structure have an angle, maybe an error with the "Map a sketch to a face" command??

Hi @alex_V,

I also saw the same error (see below attached image). On debugging, I found that the error is in execute function of ArchRebar._Rebar class. I think we are not passing a correct value of rot (https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/blob ... ar.py#L378) to CalculatePlacement function.

@Yorik what you think?

I created below rebar by selected highlighted face.

Thanks @amrit3701,

Sometimes the sketch is in the right position but the solid is not. I think you are right about the CalculatePlacement function.

Probably.. it would require some debugging. But it seems to me the problem might be at https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/blob ... ar.py#L371 it takes the rotation of the host Arch Structure, but the sketch itself might have a rotation too, maybe they need to be added.

Thanks, Yorik for the hint. Here is the PR: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/1647

Great job @amrit3701. Now the sketch and the rebar (as solid) have the same angle. The only problem that I see now is the way the points of the rebar (sketch) are created. They are created far from the structure.
Thanks a lot for taking your time in this fix!!

Hello. I am civil engineer and develop some minor software in my work. here is my blog:
http://ebrahimraeyat.blog.ir/post/civilTools_final



recently I decide to start a framework project for civil engineer include some software:
1- first a pre/post processore graphical tools for opensees like this: http://gidopensees.rclab.civil.auth.gr/
it is opensource written in visual basic and has GPL3 licence. It is very perfect.
opensees navigatore:

https://www.nextfem.it


2- a desing engine for concrete and steel structure like etabs: https://www.csiamerica.com/products/etabs
3- a software that draw plane of concrete and steel sturcture like these software in my country (IRAN):
steel: http://www.rayansazeh.com/
concrete: http://www.saze90.com/about/drawing/beam, http://www.mohaseb2000.ir/,
http://www.farasaeg.ir/indexEN.htm

I want to write these software with python in freecad, I also use https://github.com/zhuminjie/OpenSeesPyDoc

I decide to use BIM for workflow. It is big idea and i want to start from number 3 and first for concrete structure.
please help me for this task

I think you're trying to solve a problem that was bugging me, too. I managed to get what I wanted to work.. sort of. The issue you cite with the rebar outside the structure, I managed to solve, but I had to write my own rebar generation code to do it as it differed pretty significantly from amrit's approach.
