OpenSTAAD Function to extract Area of reinforcement from STAAD Output.
Looking for a OpenSTAAD Function to extract Area of reinforcement from STAAD Output. I have explored the OpenSTAAD help and I couldn't able to find. If you have any solutions, please suggest.
It helps to think through how this would work. If you are looking for the design data from a member then it would make sense to consider all the aspects of the design. Is it a beam or column or slab? Where are you getting the bar info from? Start, Middle End? Were you thinking along the following 2 functions:-
If we give the member number as input parameter , from the design output, OpenSTAAD function should be able to retrive the Ast , bar dia and no of bars from the output design summary or if it gives the requrirement load case wise, it would be more useful.
Thank you for posting this idea. There is currently no OpenSTAAD function to obtain the output from a concrete beam/column/slab design. Perhaps you can provide an example of how you imagine that function might look and work.

Return = Design.GetConcreteDesignSummary(Member, Code, Type, Load case)
Return 1 = a designed concrete object, 0, no cocnrete design for this member.
Return - Design.GetConcreteRebar(Member, Location, BarMain, BarSec, NumMain, NumSec, AsMain, AsSec)
Return 1 = a designed concrete object, 0, no cocnrete design for this member.
Also how would this help in the project?
Hello Carlos,
If we give the member number as input parameter , from the design output, OpenSTAAD function should be able to retrive the Ast , bar dia and no of bars from the output design summary or if it gives the requrirement load case wise, it would be more useful.
thanks you for considering this idea.
