Dev logs of Rebar Addon for FreeCAD - GSoC project

[thschrader]

Can you paste the output of a report view (View -> Panels -> Report View)?

Hi Amritpal,
I did the following:
Start FC17, loading modell, doubleclick on "Pos3" (bent rebar), changing "anchor lenghts" from 50 to 400 mm, press OK ==> screen1
No reaction ==> screen2
Doubleclick on Pos3 again ==> anchor lenghts remains at 50 mm ==> screen3

Hi Amritpal,

No reaction ==> screen2
Doubleclick on Pos3 again ==> anchor lenghts remains at 50 mm ==> screen3

Thanks for sharing this. I know how to fix this error. I had also shared the same error with Yorik also on IRC and he said that this error came because of some bugs present in the Sketcher WB

Steps to fix this error:
1. Double click on the Sketch008 (which is the base of bent shape rebar). After double clicking, Sketch WB is activated. Now click on the close button (present in a task panel).
2. Double click on the Pos3 (label name of bent shape rebar) and set its anchor length. Then click on the OK button. Now, you will see a change occur in anchor length.

Tell me if you are able to fix this error with above approach or not.

Thanks,

I have also created Bent shape rebar. Please suggest if any improvement is needed.

When using bent rebar in the slab with a continuous edge, the bent rebar should extend to the adjacent slab.
The position of a bent up point should be approx. L/4(will be assigned by the designer) of a span.
For example, The rebar No.1 extend and use for cantilever slab.

i'm also falling in love, I'm looking into what it takes to learn python coding. I wished someone showed me how to write code for freecad like Amrit does. @Amrit, what does it take to learn python coding? how long before I can create freecad enhancements? would you mind sharing your experience?

I think , Yorik's FreeCAD manual can help.

Now, I already install "Qt Designer".

Hi @chakkree

Tell me if I can help in understanding rebar add-on code. BTW, I wrote comments in all files of rebar add-on. For creating new rebar shape you just create UI file in the QtCreator and make a new function like getpointsofNewRebarShape() in the NewRebarShape.py file.

Thanks,

According to me, I have completed all rebar shapes as shown in my GSoC proposal. Here are the different rebar shapes are shown in SP 34 (https://archive.org/stream/gov.in.is.sp ... 4/mode/1up). Tell me which rebar shapes are on high priority or more used in the real world because I am not from the civil background. So, that I could complete it first.

Regards,

[yorik]

For further shapes, I would suggest maybe rebars for circular columns? They have been mentioned here already...
But that can be tricky, because there are two different types of stirrups, one that is classical and another that is a big helix...


But I think we already have a very good set. Maybe an important thing would be to write some documentation about the tools you already did?

Amritpal, congratulations!
According to yorik, rebars for circular columns would be nice.
Second wish:
Vertical stirrups for consoles with an inclined lower face, the stirrups should automatically fit
to the inclined face, see pictures.
regards Thomas (third wish: how to put that stuff into techdraw, I have looong loadings times...)
