Auto Reinforcement barsis a software for Autodesk® AutoCAD®. It allows you to facilitate the realization of the reinforcement plans for a concrete structure.

The software is made to simplify the creation and the modification of the reinforcement necessary for your project as much as possible, thanks to the predefined shapes and a lateral options palette. The dynamic markings on the reinforcement allow you to create clear plans and save time during modifications. The summary tables help you to build, in one click, the summary of your marked reinforcing bars, as well as the total weight and the average diameter.

Auto Reinforcement barshave all the necessary elements for the realization of the reinforcement plans for construction:

• Simple creation of reinforcement thanks to predefined shapes.
• Edition and modification of the reinforcement thanks to a palette of options.
• Dynamic marks for the reinforcement bars.
• Recapitulative tables of the reinforcement (diameter, number, shape, bending diameter, total length).
• Export of tables to Excel.

Main functions:

Longitudinal Rebars:

Longitudinal Rebars have 6 predefined shapes and are particularly suitable for using the bending diameter recommended for large-diameter reinforcement bars. These bending diameters are configurable in the general options.

Stirrups:

The Stirrups have 5 predefined shapes and have the particularity of using the bending diameter recommended for the transverse reinforcement (stirrups). These bending diameters are configurable in the general options.

Distribution Rebars:

The Distribution Rebars allow the creation of a distribution of reinforcement bars over a defined length, thanks to 3 options: a defined number, constant distribution, and variable distribution.

Longitudinal Rebars, Stirrups, and Representation Rebars can be distributed thanks to this function.

Representation Rebars:

The Representation Rebars are a copy of the Longitudinal Rebars or the Stirrups following a view (X, Y, Cut). That option is the most interesting because the Representation Rebars work in conjunction with your reference Rebar. If the reference Rebar is modified, the Representation Rebar will be modified

Marks:

Marks allow referencing the Rebars. They can show the number, diameter, distribution, and shape of the referenced Rebar. The marks are dynamic, which means that they are updated every time the marked Rebar is modified.

Note:

The copy, move, and stretch commands in AutoCAD can be used for Rebars.
