Dev logs of Rebar Addon for FreeCAD - GSoC project

2. there are quite a lot of different standards for rebars and with them different standard rebar shapes, just for example i have compared our current rebar shapes to BS8666-2005, as i can see we should more or less have shape codes 00, 11, 12, 21, 46, 51 and 77... ? no real suggestion here just something to keep in the mind

In addition to the standard rebar shaps defined in standards an engineer could make his own shape like he would like to have it made. At least in Switzerland we can and we do use this

Of course! But from standard shapes, it should not be that hard to produce proper bending schedules

Introducing standards there would be a really nice thing but it's a huge thing... They are all different, one needs to know one particular standard very well, keep it updated, etc.

One more to add to your list is the brazilan norm NBR 6118

I would see standards more like one more level above Amritpal's tools, like a kind of wizard that would allow you to pick some predefined standards. Or, like some android apps that Nirbhay showed me, a wizard that would do the whole thing, calculate the needed reinforcement and place the bars...

Hello everyone,

Here is my TODO task list which I will complete before final phase evaluation:
1. Complete circular stirrup (spiral) which Yorik posted it in his previous post in this thread.
2. Create wiki pages for all rebar shapes which I completed.
3. Add "Apply" button in all dialog boxes of rebar shapes.
4. Add user facility to give custom spacing when he/she creating rebar. Now user gives custom spacing after creating rebar with rebar tool.
5. Also, discuss with Yorik that can we add rebar tools as default FreeCAD feature.

Also completed my 3rd TODO task. See this: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 71#p187316

Thanks,

Also, completed my 4th task in the TODO list. Now, a user can also give custom spacing when he/she creating rebar. My all TODO tasks are completed.

Does it mean you have some time left for haveing a look at the material shedule? From my point of view the most important needed feature in FreeCADs rebar tools. All the smart tools are useless without an material shedule.

Tested your latest code Amritpal, all looks okay!

I changed the order of the icons in the Arch toolbar to have your first, and the original custom rebar last... It makes more sense.

Don't forget to update the readme of your github repo for Google's final evaluation... Ideally you should provide simple instructions for someone who has never heard about FreeCAD to try and test your work, but I don't know if that is very easy to write

In any case you should provide a good explanation about what it does, how the code is structured, etc

I don't think there is enough time for what you propose Bernd, this week is "wrap it up", deadline is next monday or so... But hopefully Amritpal will stay around after that, what would we do without him now

Hi Bernd,

GSoC deadline for final evaluation is almost very near(only 3 days left). Now, I am more focusing on documenting the project. But no doubt, I will continue this project after GSoC also.
