Reinforcement

Reinforcement can be assessed through the Reinforcement class in PyGeoStudio. To select a reinforcement by its index for example:

#geofile is a GeoStudioFile instance
geofile.showReinforcements()
reinf = geofile.getReinforcementsByID(1)

This will return an instance of the Reinforcement class which handle all the reinforcement properties. Properties can be assessed with the [] operator and with the name of the property, for example:

f = reinf["PulloutResistance"] #store the pullout resistance in a variable
reinf["PulloutResistance"] = 350 #change pullout resistance in-place
