Multiple Wire Size Mesh: Configuration file for reinforcing bar patterns

Use an external text file to define the patterns for longitudinal and crossing reinforcing bars in the Multiple Wire Size Mesh modeling tool.

Every pattern starts from the Pattern line, followed by, for example, the pattern name. Each Bar Size and Spacing pair is on a separate row. The Bar

Size and Spacing values are separated by a space.

The file has the following format:

< Pattern > < Name >

<Bar Size> <Spacing>

<Bar Size> <Spacing>

……………………………

<Bar Size> <Spacing>

Examples

10 200
