Question:

How can I create a reinforcement schedule in Allplan that complies with the English standard?




Answer:


1. installation of the country-specific cross-section series

The installation and saving of cross-section series can be found under Extras->Definitions->Cross-section series. In this dialogue, you will find a folder and a diskette symbol in the bottom left-hand area.

To install cross-section series files, please select the folder icon. A browser will open. Here you can select the cross-section series files to be installed.

Select the file to be installed and confirm your selection with the "Open" button. The corresponding cross-section series is now installed and can be used in Allplan.

To save a self-defined cross-section series, please select the disc symbol. A browser will open. Select any folder to save the cross-section series currently used in Allplan.


The country-specific cross-section series are located in the New folder created during the Allplan installation, below which you will find a folder labelled "Ing".
This folder can be found in the Allplan installation path (e.g. C:\Programme\Nemetschek\Allplan\New\Ing)
The installation path is displayed in the Allmenu under Service -> Windows Explorer -> CAD programme folder.
The cross-section series files required for various countries are available in the ......new\Ing folder.

The abbreviations for the country-specific cross-section series in the file names (axyzqusr.txt) are

2. setting the standard and units :

Setting the units:

3.reports according to British Standard

The British Standard report can be found in the Allplan standard report under "British Standard.rdlc".

In the selection menu for the standard reports, click twice on the folder level upwards and select ENG ->Reinforcement for the English reinforcement reports.
