| Uniform Layout
|
When checked, each stiffener will have same
parameters.
|
| Stiffener Number
|
Selects the desired stiffener number from the list to
set different parameters.
|
| Layout
|
Sets the shape of the inner corners of the
stiffeners; one from the available options:
- Chamfer
- Filled, or
- Rounded.
|
| Length
|
Sets the length of the stiffeners, based inner edge
form selected from the drop-down list;
- Full
Stiffener – The stiffener height extends over the complete web
height of the shape.
- Half
Stiffener – The stiffener height stretches over half the web height
of the shape where the side is determined by the picked side.
- By
Length – The stiffener is given the height specified by you. Only
values between 10-90% of the web height can be used.
- Edge
– The height of the stiffener is determined according to the specifications,
but the layout is a triangle shape.
|
| Flip icon
|
Flips the stiffener length.
|
| Dimensions
|
- Thickness –
Sets the thickness of the stiffener plate; this value is taken from the table
or it can be entered freely if this setting has been activated.
- Flange
Offset – When calculating the stiffener dimensions, this is the
distance to the flange side, i.e., the stiffener height is slightly reduced.
- Web
Distance – When calculating the stiffener dimensions, this is the
distance to the web side, i.e., the stiffener width is slightly reduced.
- Length – This
is the value for the stiffener length when you have selected the stiffener
length ‘To Measure’.
- End
Offset – When calculating the stiffener dimensions, this is the
distance to the outer edge of the flanges, i.e., the stiffener width is
slightly reduced. If the stiffener is to slightly project towards the outside,
type a negative value.
- Round
to – The Round to value describes a rounding accuracy applicable to
the width of the calculated stiffened plate. Rounding is carried out after
calculation of the projection.
Using this setting, it is possible, e.g., to
permit only dimensions divisible by 5, so that flat steel bars can be used.
- Chamfer /
Radius – In the Chamfer (for Chamfer layout) or the Radius (for
Filleted and Rounded layouts) input field you specify the radius of the ribbed
plate at the shape radii. If this value is 0, the shape radius is imported. If
you have selected the create 'Insert at Slant', the radius is bridged by a
slanted edge.
- 1st/2nd
Edge - Enabled for Half or By Length stiffeners. Sets the size of
the radius, round or chamfer for each side of the stiffener.

 Reset

Resets the parameters of every stiffeners to default
values in the selected configuration.
