Hi everyone,

During a review of the Automated Reinforcement python parts a question came to mind, how do you calculate (define) the anchorage length of the top bar in beams?

Currently you can define it by:
- the horizontal segment as anchorage length defined by distance
- vertical segment as a hook defined as a ratio of the diameter
(Image: Current possibilities in Beam)

My question is:
- Do you usually define it like this?
- Do you define both values as a length (not a ratio of diameter)?
(Image: User defined in 2 ways)
- Would you rather be able to define the total length?

Thank you, looking forward to your feedback.
