  • Flange Distance – Sets the offset of the stiffener from flanges of the shape. A positive value determines the offset. A negative value is not allowed. The default is 0.
  • Web Distance – Sets the offset of the stiffener from web of the shape. A positive value determines the offset. A negative value is not allowed. The default is 0.
  • End Distance – Sets the offset of the stiffener from out edge of the shape. A positive value determines the offset. A negative value is not allowed. The default is 0.
  • Stiffener Radius – Sets the round radius of corners of the stiffener. A positive value determines the radius. A negative value is to be read as its absolute value. The default is 5 or 0.2 depending on the units setting.
  • Size Precision – Sets the precision of the rounding of the dimension of the stiffener. A positive value determines the precision. A negative value is to be read as its absolute value. The default is 10 or 0.4 depending on the units setting.
