2 Setting of calculation – units and measuring system
There is possibility to set type of units and measuring system for definition of diameter of reinforcement in dialog Project data > tab sheet Code setup
ř
Two set of units can be set for each project:
- Metric format (SI units)
- Imperial format (imperial units)
After changing type of format all units will be converted to selected format, where for concrete properties are used default units on the picture below
|
Metric format |
Imperial format |
|
|
|
Detailed information about used units or setting different default value for selected properties can be done in dialog Units (Setup >Units)
Depending on selected format, there is possible to select measuring system for definition of diameter of reinforcement, where
- For Imperial format only one measuring system (Imperial system) is supported
- For Metric format, user can select two types of measuring system:
- Soft metric system
- European metric system

Size and diameter of reinforcement and way of conversion among measuring systems are in tables below.
Diameter of reinforcement for imperial and Soft metric system is defined via Size number (item diameter is not editable if value of Size No from the list is selected).If user value of size number (value, which is not in the list) is defined ,then item diameter is editable and value of diameter is calculated for:
- imperial system: Diameter = SizeNo / 8 (value in inch)
- soft metric system : Diameter = 3,175·RoundToInteger[(SizeNo/3,175)+0,5] (value in mm)

where |
|
|
Diameter |
is diameter of reinforcement |
|
SizeNo |
is size number define in global setting (design defaults) or in local setting (concrete member data) |
|
RoundToInteger |
Is function, which rounded the number to integer number |
|
Setting of size number |

For European metric system is diameter defined directly (property Size number is not active for this system)
