Intro
The plugin automates the generation of longitudinal and shear reinforcement for sections based on Australian RMS standards. It enables users to create rebars quickly, accurately and at predefined standard locations.
Developed with
- MIDAS CIVIL NX 2026 (v1.1)
Benefits of this plugin
Automated Efficiency: Eliminates repetitive manual definition of time-history load cases across varying speeds and configurations.
Standardized & Consistent: Integrates default damping values based on established international standards (EN1991-2:2003, Clause 6.4.6.3 (2)) for reliable analysis.
Seamless Reporting & Export: Instant graphical plotting of operating speed versus maximum acceleration with dynamic Excel export functions for comprehensive reporting.
How to use this plugin?
- 1. Click Connect → Open Marketplace and run the Rebar Auto Generator plugin
- 2. Select Section ID, Type, Name, vBar size, Pitch and click Generate Rebar
Note
1. The plugin automatically detects PSC-Composite sections, which are then used for rebar generation
2. Executing the plugin will overwrite any existing rebar data for the selected section.
3. Currently, only AS-Super-T_RMS_2019 sections are supported.
4. The ‘Ref .dwg file’ can be used to review rebar details in drawing format.
Conclusion
The Rebar Auto Generator plugin helps in streamlining reinforcement modelling in MIDAS CIVIL NX, particularly for RMS-standard sections. By automating rebar placement and ensuring compliance with predefined standards, it reduces manual effort and minimizes errors.
