| Stiffener
|
When checked, stiffeners, on the side of the end
plate are inserted into the supporting shape at the level of the flanges.
|

|
When checked, creates additional stiffeners between
the already created stiffeners. In the input fields, you specify the number and
the distance to the upper and lower edge of the plate.

| Support Stiffeners
|
The prerequisite for generating this stiffeners is
the use of a bottom flange haunch having a stiffener on the side of the bottom
flange haunch and a cover plate.

 (Edit Style)
|
Opens Stiffener dialog, used for insertion or
edition of stiffeners. Here, you can modify the values and create new
templates.
Note: The settings
for stiffeners cannot be made independently here. You only select a template
containing the necessary parameters.
The advantage is that you have to define a certain
kind of stiffener only once and then only select it by using its name. However,
you mustn’t forget that in case of modifying this page after having modified
this stiffener template the existing stiffeners are updated as well (i.e. they
will obtain the dimensions of the modified template).
