Read the design intent
  • Extract specified cover, reinforcement zones and approved details
  • Distinguish modeling instructions from engineering design decisions
Control hosts and constraints
  • Set host references, cover and bar constraints
  • Test geometry changes without silently breaking reinforcement
Resolve complex zones
  • Review congestion, laps, couplers and openings against approved details
  • Record a design query when the supplied detail cannot be built
Issue a consistent package
  • Reconcile bar marks, shapes, quantities and drawing callouts
  • Track revised bars and publish a checked schedule
Deliberate failure workshop
  • Diagnose a bar mark mismatch after a host revision
  • Record the cause, controlled correction and independent recheck
Technical review and release
  • Present the exercise evidence to a second reviewer
  • Resolve review findings and publish the accepted training package
