Rebar cage
The Rebar Cage commands allow you to customize the reinforcement of the wall/wall group, generated after calculation.
The Rebar Cage commands
The following commands are grouped under Rebar Cage:
-
Main
-
Opening
-
Linkage
-
Fabric Schema
-
Main
The Reinforcement Main bars dialog allows you to adjust the reinforcement provided on the web of the wall (between stiffeners): vertical and horizontal bars or fabrics, transversal bars linking the vertical and horizontal bars, interface bars, stiffeners bars and nodes reinforcement-for group of walls).
Main dialog structure
Notes:
1.Vertical item under Wall Web is available only when the Main reinforcement type is set as Bars.
The Vertical Bars dialog box
2.Horizontal item under Wall Web is available only when the Main reinforcement type is set as Bars or anytime on Shear Wall (even on Fabrics).
The Horizontal Bars dialog box
3.Fabrics item is available only when the Main reinforcement type is set as Fabrics and it is read-only if there is no fabric zone already generated, from calculation or from constructive dispositions.
The Fabrics dialog box
4.Vertical item under Wall Web – Transversal bars isn’t available when the Transverse reinforcement type is set as None.
The Vertical Transversal bars dialog box
5.Horizontal item under Wall Web – Transversal bars isn’t available when the Transverse reinforcement type is set as None and is also not available on Standard Wall with a Main reinforcement type set as Fabrics.
6. The Interface Bars item is available only on Shear Wall.
The Interface Bars dialog box
7.Stiffeners dialog is available only on Shear Wall with the Composed bending calculation method and allows you to adjust the reinforcement provided for the wall edges or the Intermediate stiffeners via dedicated dialog tabs.
The Stiffeners dialog box
8.Nodes dialog is available only when a group of walls is defined in the model (in Wall group Geometry dialog or using CAD tools) and allows you to adjust the longitudinal and transversal reinforcement for each node of the wall group. For a single wall, the command is grayed-out.
Nodes dialog box
-
Opening
The Opening dialog allows you to adjust the reinforcement for each opening of the wall: Lintel reinforcement and Constructive Vertical and Horizontal bars.
The Opening dialog box
Note: The dialog is available only when wall type is Wall.
-
Linkage
The Linkage dialog allows you to adjust the linkage reinforcement provided for the wall and contains the following tabs:
- Horizontal Longitudinal: available if Generate longitudinal linkage is enabled and the wall has a top slab.
- Horizontal Transversal: available if Generate longitudinal linkage is enabled and the wall has a top slab.
- Horizontal Under Terrace: available if the level type is last, the Generate longitudinal linkage is enabled, and the wall has a top slab.
- Vertical Left Edge: available if Generate vertical linkage is enabled.
- Vertical Right Edge: available if Generate vertical linkage is enabled.
- U-Shaped Edge: is not available on Shear Wall with the Composed bending calculation method.
- Slab starter: is available if the wall has a top or bottom slab.
The Linkage dialog box

Fabrics Schema
The Fabrics Schema dialog gives information about the generated fabrics geometry (full fabrics or cuts). Using this dialog user can further save the fabrics schema as pictures.
