Data lines to define rebar lines

First line

  1. Name to be used to identify this rebar line. This name can be used in defining rebar prestress and output requests. Each rebar line must be given a separate name in a particular element or element set.

  2. Cross-sectional area of the rebar.

  3. Position of the rebar in the local X1-direction.

  4. Position of the rebar in the local X2-direction.

  5. Name of the material forming this rebar line.

Repeat the data line as often as necessary. Each data line defines a rebar line.
