Hello Angelica, thank you for your comment. 

Before answering, I must ask which standard you compare your hand calculations to. 

S-LINE has different ways of the longitudinal spacing for bars depending on the code selected, find a short description of them below:

For ACI

For BS8110 and CP65

And CSA

As you can see, the method varies slightly from code to code, however, I hope that with this information you can compare accordingly to your calculations and your question is answered. 

Best regards, 

Tayen Aguilar

Thanks Tayen, I'm comparing with CSA.

 

Do you have any more insight into how S-LINE calculates the actual bar spacing it compares to the CSA code?

Hi Angelica, I would advise you to check S-LINE's help system, got to Help-->Content and you will find the Topics dialogue where you can type in the topic that you need more information about and look at the different topics, like the CSA provisions, where I got the screenshot I shared earlier. 

If you have any additional questions, please be welcome to send them as a case to hwsupport@altair.com along with any models you would like us to look at. 

Best, 

Tayen Aguilar 

Hi Arno,

Please find the options here in the attached image to run the .tcl scripts.

Hey Arno,

You can also drag and drop your .tcl file into the Tcl command window. To enable it, go to View Menu > Tcl Command Window

Kind regards,
