Reinforcement resource control
Reinforcement resource controls are giving the user access to the reinforcement properties
Value type with single control
With this value types a single control (a combo box to be specific) is being created in the palette.
Steel grade
The type ReinfSteelGrade is used to create a combo box for a steel grade selection for the rebar. The result assigned to the parameter is an integer value associated with the selected steel grade. This integer value is defined in the cross-section catalog in ALLPLAN. Please refer to Bar cross-section catalogs in ALLPLAN documentation for more information.
<Parameter>
<Name>ReinfSteelGrade</Name>
<Text>ReinfSteelGrade</Text>
<Value>-1</Value><!--(1)!-->
<ValueType>ReinfSteelGrade</ValueType>
</Parameter>
- If the
<Value>
is set to -1, the parameter is initialized with current ALLPLAN setting.
Concrete grade
The type ReinfConcreteGrade is used to create a combo box for a concrete grade selection. The result assigned to the parameter is an integer value associated with the selected concrete grade.
<Parameter>
<Name>ReinfConcreteGrade</Name>
<Text>ReinfConcreteGrade</Text>
<Value>-1</Value><!--(1)!-->
<ValueType>ReinfConcreteGrade</ValueType>
</Parameter>
- If the
<Value>
is set to -1, the parameter is initialized with current ALLPLAN setting.
Bar diameter
The type ReinfBarDiameter is used to create a combo box for a bar diameter selection. The result assigned to the parameter is the bar diameter in mm as a float value.
<Parameter>
<Name>ReinfBarDiameter</Name>
<Text>ReinfBarDiameter</Text>
<Value>-1</Value><!--(1)!-->
<ValueType>ReinfBarDiameter</ValueType>
</Parameter>
- If the
<Value>
is set to -1, the parameter is initialized with current ALLPLAN setting.
Concrete cover
The type ReinfConcreteCover is used to create a combo box for the selection of a concrete cover. The result assigned to the parameter is the concrete cover in mm as a float value.
<Parameter>
<Name>ReinfConcreteCover</Name>
<Text>ReinfConcreteCover</Text>
<Value>-1</Value><!--(1)!-->
<ValueType>ReinfConcreteCover</ValueType>
</Parameter>
- If the
<Value>
is set to -1, the parameter is initialized with current ALLPLAN setting.
Bending roller
The type ReinfBendingRoller is used to create a combo box for the selection of a bending roller diameter factor. The result assigned to the parameter is the factor itself as a float value.
<Parameter>
<Name>ReinfBendingRoller</Name>
<Text>ReinfBendingRoller</Text>
<Value>-1</Value><!--(1)!-->
<ValueType>ReinfBendingRoller</ValueType>
</Parameter>
- If the
<Value>
is set to -1, the parameter is initialized with current ALLPLAN setting.
Mesh group
The type ReinfMeshGroup is used to create a combo box for selecting a mesh group. The result assigned to the parameter is an integer value associated with the selected mesh group.
<Parameter>
<Name>ReinfMeshGroup</Name>
<Text>ReinfMeshGroup</Text>
<Value>-1</Value><!--(1)!-->
<ValueType>ReinfMeshGroup</ValueType>
</Parameter>
- If the
<Value>
is set to -1, the parameter is initialized with current ALLPLAN setting.
Mesh type
The type ReinfMeshType is used to create a combo box for selecting a mesh type. The result assigned to the parameter is a string value with the name of the selected mesh type.
<Parameter>
<Name>ReinfMeshType</Name>
<Text>ReinfMeshType</Text>
<Value>-1</Value><!--(1)!-->
<ValueType>ReinfMeshType</ValueType>
</Parameter>
- If the
<Value>
is set to -1, the parameter is initialized with current ALLPLAN setting.
Hook length
The parameter of type ReinfHookLength creates an edit field for the hook length input
in the current ALLPLAN length input unit. The main advantage of using
this parameter type instead Length
is, that the hook length is being calculated
based on the norm, rebar diameter, its steel grade, concrete grade and hook angle.
When the values of those are changed, the hook length is recalculated.
<Parameter>
<Name>BarHookLength</Name>
<Text>Hook length</Text>
<Value>-1</Value><!--(1)!-->
<ValueType>ReinfHookLength</ValueType>
<!--(2)!--><Constraint>BarDiameter;SteelGrade;ConcreteGrade;BarHookAngle;__ReinfHookType__ = BarHookType</Constraint>
</Parameter>
- If the
<Value>
is set to -1, the initial value is calculated using the values from the parameters in<Constraint>
. -
To calculate the hook length, the parameter names of the type ReinfBarDiameter, ReinfSteelGrade, ReinfConcreteGrade, Angle and ReinfMeshType can be specified here. The values can also be assigned directly like, e.g.
__Angle__ = 90
If nothing is specified:- the value for the angle is set to 90 degree,
- the value for ReinfBarDiameter, ReinfSteelGrade, ReinfConcreteGrade or ReinfMeshType are set to the value currently used in ALLPLAN.
Group value types
For simplifying the creation of the .pyp file, there are additional group value types available for a direct creation of multiple input controls.
Reinforcement position
The type ReinfPosition is used to create a group of reinforcement parameters from one parameter block. As a result of this type of parameter not one, but several values are created for the PythonPart creation.
<Parameter>
<ReinfID>1</ReinfID><!--(1)!-->
<Picture>OpenStirrup_NoHooks.png</Picture>
<Select>1</Select>
<Diameter>10</Diameter>
<MeshType>-1</MeshType>
<SideLengthStart>-1</SideLengthStart>
<SideLengthEnd>-1</SideLengthEnd>
<Distance>-1</Distance>
<ValueType>ReinfPosition</ValueType>
</Parameter>
- The
<ReinfID>
tag defines the index, which is used for each parameter tag inside the parameter block.
Name | Text | Value type | Value |
---|---|---|---|
Picture1 | Picture | OpenStirrup_NoHooks.png | |
Shape1 | CheckBox | 1 | |
ReinfType1 | RadioButtonGroup | 1 | |
Diameter1 | Diameter | ReinfBarDiameter | 10 |
MeshType1 | Mesh type | ReinfMeshType | -1 |
SideLengthStart1 | Segment length at start | Length | 1000 |
SideLengthEnd1 | Segment length at end | Length | 500 |
Distance1 | Spacing | Length | 150 |
Reinforcement shape bar properties
The type ReinforcementShapeBarProperties is used to create a parameter with multiple reinforcement bar shape input controls in the property palette. As a result, a ReinforcementShapeProperties object is assigned to the property value.
<Parameter>
<Name>BarProperties</Name>
<Text>Bar shape properties</Text>
<Value>ReinforcementShapeProperties(ConcreteGrade(-1),SteelGrade(-1),Diameter(25.0),BendingRoller(4.0))</Value>
<ValueType>ReinforcementShapeBarProperties</ValueType>
</Parameter>
Reinforcement shape mesh properties
The type ReinforcementShapeMeshProperties is used to create a parameter with multiple reinforcement mesh shape input controls in the property palette. As a result a ReinforcementShapeProperties object is assigned to the property value. As parameter text inside the property palette the standard parameter text is used.
