Hello, I am trying to design a reinforced concrete section in the Concrete Design module using the API. However, I am unable to create more than two items for both stirrups and longitudinal reinforcement, even though I have set no = 3 for each of them.
It seems that only two reinforcement entries are generated regardless of the value I assign. Could you please check the code snippet below and let me know if I am missing a required step or if there is a limitation in the API?
