Topic: Reinforcement - Segment

Hello,

I'm trying to create a 3D conrete plate with reinforcement in it. A problem occurs while adding the reinforcement bars with the message "There are several disconnected segments in the reinforcement!". I've checked the bars (segments) several times and can't find the disconnection between them. The joints are added by coordinates and connected with segments.

Any ideas how to fix the problem?

Re: Reinforcement - Segment

Hello, I guess you get the message about some reinforcement segment not connected to the surrounding concrete (or other volume elements) - please make sure all reinforcement bars are embedded inside solids.
If you need a bar to pass through the air, please see Troubleshooting, 2.2.12  How can I model a pull-out experiment?

If you still can not solve the issue, please send us your model following the instructions from ATENA Troubleshooting, 2.1.1.
