DXF definition of reinforcement

We develop software for structural engineers and detailers. Our development team researches, tests, and applies new methods of analyzing the behaviour of structures and their members. Based on this, we created IDEA StatiCa – software that enables engineers to work faster, evaluate requirements of the national code thoroughly, and use the optimal amount of material. For us, creating software is a way to contribute to making every new construction around the world safer and cheaper.

DXF definition of reinforcement

In IDEA StatiCa Detail, you can import the reinforcement directly from DXF file. DXF import now reads and applies the thickness from the global width set to the polyline in DXF file. As IDEA StatiCa Detail reads also arc segments of the polyline, they are discretized in the background and there is default mandrel diameter set to 0. If we import orthogonal shapes and want to round the corners, we can always specify mandrel diameter and IDEA will do the rest. Apply for a free trial, check the tutorial and try it in your project!
