*COMPONENT_REBAR
"Optional title"
coid, pid, N${}_x$, N${}_y$, N${}_z$, csysid
$x_1$, $y_1$, $z_1$, $x_2$, $y_2$, $z_2$, $h$

Parameter definition

Variable
Description
coid
Component ID
pid
Part ID
N${}_x$
Number of rebar grids in local x-direction
N${}_y$
Number of rebar grids in local y-direction
N${}_z$
Number of rebar grids in local z-direction
csysid
Local coordinate system ID
default: global coordinates are used
$x_1$, $y_1$, $z_1$
Rebar cage corner coordinate 1
quantity: Length
$x_2$, $y_2$, $z_2$
Rebar cage corner coordinate 2
quantity: Length
$h$
Rebar element length (target)
quantity: Length

Description

This command defines a rectangular grid with rebars. Mechanical properties are defined with MAT_REBAR and the initial rebar diameter is defined in PART. The rebar element length will not necessarily be exactly equal to the specified value $h$. $h$ is to be seen as a target value. The actual element length is adapted to the rebar grid size.
