Reinforcement and Layout Example

Requires an MSE/SRW project that already has at least one wall segment and (preferably) a reinforcement library entry. Create a reinforcement through the API if the project has none.

Code Snippet: Reinforcement Layout by Course

from rswall.RSWallModeler import RSWallModeler
from rswall.Reinforcement import TYPE_GEOGRID
import os
import inspect

current_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(inspect.getfile(lambda: None)))
model_path = os.path.join(current_dir, "example_models", "ExampleModel.rswall")

modeler = RSWallModeler(port=60067)
wall = modeler.openFile(model_path)

reinforcements = wall.getAllReinforcements()
if reinforcements:
    reinf = reinforcements[0]
else:
    reinf = wall.createReinforcement("Scripted Strip")
    reinf.setReinforcementType(TYPE_GEOGRID)

walls = wall.listWalls()
wall_name = walls[0]["wallName"]
segment_name = wall.getWallDetails(wall_name)["segments"][0]["segmentName"]

# Irregular per-layer courses: set apply_uniform_placement=False
# (default is True to match the Reinforcement Layout dialog)
wall.setReinforcementLayout(
    wall_name,
    segment_name,
    layout_length=5.0,
    default_reinforcement_name=reinf.name,
    layer_placement_type="BY_COURSE",
    layers=[
        {"reinforcementName": reinf.name, "length": 5.0, "numCoursesBelow": 0},
        {"reinforcementName": reinf.name, "length": 5.0, "numCoursesBelow": 2},
    ],
    apply_uniform_placement=False,
)
print(wall.getReinforcementLayoutDetails(wall_name, segment_name))

wall.save()
wall.close()
