Variations definition
Into this dialog the actual variation of a parameter is made, creating a profile in a similar way like for cross frame/stiffeners definition.
On the top of the dialog there are two options in order to selected profile type (Variation type: slope, length) and name (Variation name).
After the variation is done you can add, delete, or modify an item in the right side Variations list using the buttons situated on the bottom part of the screen in order to meet the project needs. Mention that each variation name (ID) can’t be added twice into list of available profiles in order to avoid inconsistencies. Moreover, once added into list, the name of profile can’t be modified.
