Stiffener - Layout tab
Insertion of Stiffeners
You can insert stiffeners either in views or in the global view. When you have selected normal stiffeners (i.e. stiffeners running vertically to the shape axis), you are prompted to specify the shape where the stiffeners are to be inserted.
After selection, the program prompts you to specify the
center of the insertion point of the stiffeners. Click the point you want on
the shape or on a construction line. Your pick point is generally placed
perpendicular to the shape axis.
- When you have selected ‘Full Stiffener’ – the stiffener is inserted to fit.
- When you have selected ‘Half Stiffener’ or ‘To Measure’, you are prompted to specify the fastening side of the stiffeners.
Let’s assume that you have drawn the construction lines on the upper flange in the top view as shown on the left. If you click the line at any point, the pick point is always positioned perpendicular to the axis and used as the insertion point of the stiffeners.
