Fibre library

 

There is a new library of Fibres if the check box in Project data > Steel fibre concrete is set ON. This new library is in Libraries > Concrete, reinforcement > Fibres.

The fibre type is then possibly selected in material of steel fibre concrete directly. The material characteristics are calculated based on the selected fibre type.

This s a standard library with all general functions. There is predefined list of fibres which are stored in EP_Fibres.db4.

The name of fibres is automatically generated from the following items:

5D65/60BG

where

5D Logo type
65 Aspect ratio
60 Length
B Coating
G Form delivery

The property of the items in library will be the following:
