| − | '''Implementation'''
| |
| − | <ul>
| |
| − | <li>An icon for Beam and Column Reinforcement will be made and integrated in drop down menu of Rebar Addon. Integration in drop down menu can be done by modifying RebarTools.py file of Rebar Addon.</li>
| |
| − | <li>The dialog box will be developed using QtDesigner. User will provide input through this dialog box.</li>
| |
| − | <li>The inputs provided by the user will then be passed to prebuilt functions of Rebar Addon. Below is the list of that functions:
| |
| − | <ul>
| |
| − | <li>makeStraightRebar(f_cover, coverAlong, rt_cover, lb_cover, diameter, amo unt_spacing_check, amount_spacing_value, orientation = "Horizontal", structure = None, facename = None): Adds the straight reinforcement bar to the selected structural object.</li>
| |
| − | <li>makeUShapeRebar(f_cover, b_cover, r_cover, l_cover, diameter, t_cover, rounding, amount_spacing_check, amount_spacing_value, orientation = "Bottom", structure = None, facename = None): Adds the U-Shape reinforcement bar to the selected structural object.</li>
| |
| − | <li>makeLShapeRebar(f_cover, b_cover, l_cover, r_cover, diameter, t_cover, rounding, amount_spacing_check, amount_spacing_value, orientation = "Bottom Left", structure = None, facename = None): Adds the L-Shape reinforcement bar to the selected structural object.</li>
| |
| − | <li>makeStirrup(l_cover, r_cover, t_cover, b_cover, f_cover, bentAngle, bentFactor, diameter, rounding, amount_spacing_check, amount_spacing_value, structure = None, facename = None): Adds the Stirrup reinforcement bar to the selected structural object.</li>
| |
| − | <li>makeHelicalRebar(s_cover, b_cover, diameter, t_cover, pitch, structure = None, facename = None): Adds the Helical reinforcement bar to the selected structural object.</li></ul></li>
| |
| − | <li>To implement Master configuration:
| |
| − | <ul>
| |
| − | <li>An icon will be made and integrated in drop down menu of Rebar Addon by modifying RebarTools.py file of Rebar Addon.</li>
| |
| − | <li>The master configuration file will be created and supplied with Rebar Addon.</li>
| |
| − | <li>When user will click on icon, the FreeCAD function “FreeCADGui.open(<file_location>)” will be called with appropriate file_location. This will open file in FreeCAD for editing.</li>
| |
| − | <li>Note: The open() function of FreeCAD does not support ‘.txt’ files, and thus file will be Python file with extension ‘.py’.</li>
| |
| − | <li>The master configuration will be imported into other files and used for setting default values for Rebar detailing.</li></ul>

| − | = Future Scope =
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Since, we are taking similar input parameters which are present in STAAD.Pro output file, so in future we can implement that user will import output file of STAAD.Pro in FreeCAD and it will automatically create Reinforcement detailing. This will enable us to create Reinforcement for entire building using output from STAAD.Pro file. And I will be interested to implement this.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Implementation'''
| |
| − | <ul>
| |
| − | <li>The output file of STAAD.Pro will be imported in FreeCAD using a button in Rebar Addon.</li>
| |
| − | <li>This file will be parsed through a script.</li>
| |
| − | <li>Script will extract required Reinforcement details from file and automatically fill the input values in Rebar Addon’s dialog box.</li>
| |
| − | <li>Now user can modify any value if required and will press OK button to create Rebars.</li>
| |
| − | </ul>
| |
| − | For Column Reinforcement, we can have following prototypes also and much more as in https://archive.org/details/gov.in.is.sp.34.1987/page/n95 :

| − | = Time Availability =
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I will be able to dedicate 40 hours per week. During regular days from Monday to Friday, my college timings are 8:00 am to 4:00 pm IST. So, in these days I am available for 5 hours after my college and can manage to get 2 hours in my college timing. I am free on weekends during which I am free to work. In the month of May, I have my final exams during which there are 3 to 4 holidays before each exam. So, I can spend 2 of 4 days working on my project. Since, actual coding part will start from 27 May 2019, so my final exams will not going to be a barrier in my project work. In the month of June, I have industrial training from 3rd June to 3rd July during which I will be full time available to work on my project. In the month of July, there will be holidays from 4 July to 15 July, during which I will also be available full time. My new semester will start from 16 July and therefore I can contribute 4 hours per day as mentioned above for July and August.

| − | = Why FreeCAD? =
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I have always been fascinated by operation of CAD softwares. I’m an open source enthusiast and FreeCAD is the only CAD software I have ever used. There are several workbenches included in it and third party workbenches are also available from within the FreeCAD Addon manager is very interesting feature. FreeCAD has a well established community of great developers and this project will give me an opportunity to work with them. So, this project will turn out to be a great learning experience for me.

| − | = Why you? =
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I found myself fit to this project according to my skill set and interest. I always try to explore and learn new things. I have keen interest and good coding skills in Python, C/C++ and bash scripting. I will also actively contribute and maintain the code even after GSoC.
