                        : What is Bar-Be-Que ? 
                        Answer :Bar-Be-Que software is not EXCEL or any 
                        spreadsheet based neither it runs under any CAD package. 
                        It is a complete standalone software which generates the 
                        to-the-scale sketches of each and every bar. Deduction 
                        in the length for bending can be done with different ways, 
                        as per IS or BS code or standard site compactible with 
                        CAD packages.

                        : How 
                        to enter data of each bar in Bar-Be-Que ? 
                        Answer :Program has 3 options for preparing Bar 
                        Bending Schedules: 
                        1. Data for each Bar can be entered manually. BBS is generated 
                        with graphical sketch 
                        2. Rebar Detail Drawing showing Bars can be read and BBS 
                        generated in tabular form. 
                        3. Formulator module can be used to generated bar dimensions 
                        with simple data entry of objects dimensions.

                          : How many Bar shapes 
                          are covered in Bar-Be-Que ? 
                          Answer :About 40 Bar shapes required for day-to-day 
                          use are covered in this program. First character of 
                          shape code gives the no. of bends in the bars. 
                          For example: 
                          Shape code 00 means straight bar with no bends 
                          Shape code 11,12,14 means one bend 
                          Shape code 21,22,29 means two bends etc. 
                          Shape code 99 shall be used for any odd shape of the 
                          bars.

                          : Are deductions in length 
                          due to Bar bends considered ? 
                          Answer :While calculating the length of the 
                          bars the deductions are done as per the codal provisions. 
                          In case of BS code r factor is considered in the deduction 
                          and in case of IS code k factor is considered.

                          : Is any CAD package required 
                          for printing Bar Bending Schedule sheets ? 
                          Answer :No. Bar Bending Schedule sheets can 
                          be printed directly from Bar-Be-Que without any CAD 
                          package. However, if user desires BBS sheet outputs 
                          can be stored in DXF compactible files and printed throught 
                          a CAD package.

                          : Does Bar-Be-Que prepared 
                          optimized Bar cutting arrangements ? 
                          Answer :Yes. Bar-Be-Que comes with a module 
                          for generating optimized cutting arrangements for purchased 
                          lengths of bars, to minimize the wastage of steel. It 
                          will first calculated the requirement of steel with 
                          diameterwise breakup. For each diameter of bar it will 
                          sort the required cut lengths. It will use optimization 
                          methods to arrange these cut lengths in purchased length 
                          of bars, such that the wastage of steel is minimum.  |
