Pushing RAM Concept Rebar to Analytical iTwin

RAM Concept pushes three types of rebar to Analytical iTwin.

User Concentrated Rebar

RAM Concept User Concentrated rebar is transferred as Analytical iTwin Concentrated Surface Rebar. When the RAM Concept rebar is entirely contained within a beam and is parallel to the beam centerline, it is transferred as Analytical iTwin Layer Parallel Rebar. Plain, anchor, 90 degree, and 180 degree hook types are transferred.

User Distributed Rebar

RAM Concept User Distributed Rebar is transferred as Analytical iTwin Area Surface Rebar. Plain, anchor, 90 degree, and 180 degree hook types are transferred.

User Transverse Rebar

RAM Concept User Transverse Rebar are transferred as Analytical iTwin Straight Perpendicular, Rectangular Tie, and Open U Tie rebar. Analytical iTwin does not directly support shear rebar with 3 or more legs. A RAM Concept User Transverse Rebar with 3 or more legs will be transferred as a Rectangular or Open U Tie rebar and one or more Straight rebar for the interior legs.

The RAM Concept User Transverse Rebar object is intended to be used in areas of uniform slab geometry. Analytical iTwin Perpendicular rebar are completely uniform with respect to the width, depth, and spacing of the bars. A RAM Concept User Transverse Rebar that crosses nonuniform regions slab geometry will be transferred as end-to-end groups of Analytical iTwin Perpendicular rebar.

The actual width, depth, and spacing properties of the RAM Concept shear rebar are only determined after analyzing the RAM Concept model and generating individual shear rebar. Also, no individual shear rebar will be generated for a RAM Concept User Transverse Rebar if it is not required structurally. Therefore, a RAM Concept User Transverse Rebar is not transferred at all if individual shear rebar have not been generated for it.
