In Window 1.3 Materials, it is not possible to deactivate all reinforcing bars. At least one diameter must be selected here. However, you can determine the bending reinforcement required for the foundation plate with this specification in one of the first calculation steps. In result window 2.3 Required Reinforcement, you can then see which bending reinforcement is to be provided for the foundation plate. Afterwards, you can specify a user-defined reinforcement in Window 2.4 Plate Reinforcement - Bottom. To do this, click the Different Reinforcement Proposal... button. A new dialog box appears where you can specify that only mat reinforcement should be applied (no rebars). Click [OK] to confirm the change in this dialog box. If you click in the module navigator after this change, you will receive a message indicating that the calculation must be performed again due to the change in the reinforcement. Confirm this by clicking [Yes]. Thus, the calculation will be performed again. After the recalculation, you can open Window 2.7 Steel Schedule. Here you can see that only reinforcing mats have been used.
Question
Is there a setting option to only use reinforcing mats and no rebars for the design of foundation plates?

Use the "Independent mesh preferred" option in the FE mesh settings to create an independent FE mesh for the integrated objects. This allows you to generate a significantly more detailed and precise FE mesh for individual objects that are integrated into one another.
In the "Edit Section" dialog box, you can display the buckling shapes of the Finite Strip Method (FSM) as a 3D graphic.
In RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9, you have the option to enter "Visual Objects" as guide objects. You can import the file formats 3ds, stl, and obj.
These objects allow you to create a better reference to the dimensions.
Do you have individual column sections and angled wall geometries, and need punching shear design for them?
No problem. In RFEM 6, you can perform punching shear design not only for rectangular and circular sections, but for any cross-section shape.
