1) Preprocessor > Modelling > Create > Volumes > Block > ByDimensions
Create volumes. I create 2 volumes. The dimensions of the 1st volume are the section
dimensions, and the length is the distance between two stirrups.
2) Preprocessor > Modelling > Operate > Booleans > Overlap > Volumes
Use this command to overlap the 2 volumes.

Copy these two volumes so that you complete the total length of the beam.
Example: ITIME (Number of copies including original) = 20
Dx = 0.05
Dy = 0.
Dz = 0.
4) Preprocessor > Modelling > Create > Volumes > Block > ByDimensions
Create two volumes for two slabs for the supports and slabs to apply the loads on top of the
beam.
