The Reinforcing Bar Grades window ( Job Settings )

The " ASD/ LRFD/ CISC " tab is shown here. The " AS4100 " or " Eurocode " tabs are just like this tab, with the same two columns. Which tab is shown depends on the selected " Connection design method ."
  • To open this window
  • " OK " " Cancel " " Reset "
  • The Reinforcing Bar Grades window lets you add a new steel grade so that you can assign it as the " Grade " to rebar.
  • Applying a steel grade to rebar does not affect connection design, but may be done for purposes of ordering and tracking and differentiating between various rebar materials. Because connection design does not use rebar steel grade information, there are no Fy and Fu values on this setup table.
  • Warning : Changing any steel grade definition (for example, changing line 3) assigns the new definition to all rebar that had been assigned the previous definition. Since a steel grade is assigned to a material by its line number (index), this means that if you switch line 3 with line 4, the steel grades of existing rebar using those definitions will also be switched.
  • The steel grade entered to line 1 on this window is assigned as the default " Steel grade " for the first rebar that is added in a Modeling session. Changing the " Steel grade " resets the default for rebar that is subsequently added during that same Modeling session.
  • Cut ( Ctrl + x ), copy ( Ctrl + c ) and paste ( Ctrl + v ) are available to help you more quickly edit steel grades. You can also choose " Cut " " Copy " or " Paste " on the context menu that opens when you right-click a cell. See the warning .

1 . To open the Reinforcing Bar Grades window, use one (1) of the following methods:

Method 1 : Home > Project Settings > Job > Material Grades > Reinforcing Bar Grades .

Methods 2, 3 & 4 : In Modeling or the Drawing Editor , choose Settings > Job Settings > Reinforcing Bar Grades (classic), or use a keyboard shortcut , or click the icon.

2 . The Reinforcing Bar Grades window opens. Which tab is shown on the window depends on the " Connection design method " that you are using. The tabs that may be shown are " ASD/LRFD/CISC " or " AS4100 " or " Eurocode ." Step 3 is the same regardless of the tab that is shown.

3 . See the Warning before making any changes to this window. To add a new steel grade, fill out the columns for the first blank line (press the Tab key or Shift + Tab to move from cell to cell). The type of information that may be entered beneath a particular column on this window is explained below:

Line number: The index number (a positive integer) of the steel grade -- see the Warning . Line 1 sets the default steel grade and is the standard steel grade that may be referenced when Home > Project Settings > Fabricator > Member and Material Piecemarking > the " Submaterial " tab > " Show non-std grade notation with piecemarks on member details " is checked.

Steel Grade: Any string (up to 29 characters) to denote the name of the steel grade.

Nonstandard Notation: Any string (up to 29 characters) to denote that a particular steel grade is not the standard steel grade.

For submaterials: A callout is generated next to that material's submaterial piecemark callout on the member detail when Home > Project Settings > Fabricator > Member and Material Piecemarking > the " Submaterial " tab > " Show non-std grade notation with piecemarks on member details " is checked. The callout will consist of the steel grade if you do not enter a " Nonstandard Notation ." If, on the other hand, a " Nonstandard Notation " has been entered, that notation would be called out instead of the steel grade. For example, you might enter Non Std as a notation.

4 . When you are done making changes to the Reinforcing Bar Grades window, use the buttons at the bottom of this window to reorder listings on the window or close the window or undo your changes.
