Interaction Surface
The following section will show you how to create an interaction surface.
You can download the Grasshopper definition used in this tutorial from here 👉Grasshopper Definition
Rebar​
Define the position of the rebars inside the concrete section defining their position.
Layer​
Define the position of the rebars using a reference line and the number of points to be place along the line.
Patch​
Define the section boundaries drawing a flat surface.
Interaction surface on section​
The component will create a dummy beam that FEM-Design will use to compute the interaction surface. The output is given as a Mesh Geometry.
Interaction surface on bar​
The component will compute the interaction surface for a given beam. Make sure that your beam has a concrete section and reinforcement assign to it.
