Beam Reinforcement Settings
Manage global structural preferences, geometry constraints, and detailing standards for beam elements.
General Configuration
Core
Reinforcement Properties
Define default bar grades, material types, and standard diameter mappings used across all framing types.
Geometry
Global Geometry
Set tolerance limits for span detection and alignment constraints for continuous beam chains.
Logic
Rebar Numbering
Configure automated mark sequencing, prefixing, and suffixing rules for reinforcement schedules.
Rebar Quantity Limit
Set maximum bar density thresholds to prevent congestion in narrow beam sections during auto-generation.
Advanced Options
Control high-level engine behaviors including multi-threading, logging, and experimental detailing features.
Beam-Specific Detailing
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Reinforcement Cover | Define concrete cover distances for top, bottom, and side faces specifically for beam categories. |
| Surface Reinforcement | Configure parameters for skin reinforcement and side-face bars for deep beams. |
| Stirrup Definition | Establish default spacing zones (Support vs. Span) and leg configuration logic. |
| Joint Preference | Define how bars behave at Column-Beam intersections (anchorage vs. pass-through). |
| Lap & Curtailing | Set multipliers for $L_d$ (development length) and define percentage-based curtailing offsets for top bars. |
