Details of Functions
Draw Tab > Transverse Stiffener
Draw transverse stiffener
| Info |
|---|
The ability to model transverse tendons. There are two ways to model. |
Select Edge(s) : Creates a stiffener by selecting an edge on the screen.
- Reverse direction : If checked, the stiffener is created in the reverse direction based on the edge.Sketch On Edge : Creates a stiffener by entering two points directly along the edge.
- Reverse direction : If checked, the stiffener is created in the reverse direction based on the edge.Reverse direction : Stiffeners are created in the opposite direction of the selected edge.
Alignment of points
Displayed when Sketch On Edge is selected
| Info |
|---|
When the stiffeners are arrayed, the pick point determines the options along the edge direction. |
By ratio : In Tapered array, pick point 1 and 2 are arranged to find the ratio point of the edge. (Default)
By distance : In Tapered array, Pick point 1 and 2 are arranged to find a certain distance point from the near edge on the edge.
Draw Tab > Longitudinal Stiffener
Draw longitudinal stiffener
| Info |
|---|
The ability to model longitudinal tendons. There are three ways to model. |
Single : Click on a point on the edge of the target member that exists on the plane to create a longitudinal stiffener.
Select Edge : Select the edge of the target member that exists on the plane to create a longitudinal stiffener.
2 Points : Click two points within the edge of the target member that exist on the plane to create a longitudinal stiffener.
Reverse : The stiffener is created in the opposite direction.
Horizontal : Create stiffeners parallel to the X axis.
Reverse start point : This option changes the time / end point to which the property value is applied. (Expressed in Select Edge)
Property Tab > 1st sub tab
Classification
| Info |
|---|
Define the classification properties for the longitudinal and lateral stiffeners. |
Auto name : If it is checked on, the Stiffener automatically defines its properties.
Transverse Stiffener
- Prefix : T / Start number : 1 / Class : 1
Longitudinal Stiffener
- Prefix : L / Start number : 1 / Class : 1Name : Input the name of a stiffener.
Property Tab > 2nd sub tab
Section
| Info |
|---|
Select the type of stiffener. |
Flat : Thickness, Height
Angle : Height, Breadth, Web thickness, Flange thickness
T-section : Height, Breadth, Web thickness, Flange thickness
I-section : Height, Breadth1 ∙ 2, Web thickness, Flange thickness1 ∙ 2, Rounding radius 1 ∙ 2
U-section : Height, Breadth1, Breadth2, Thickness, Rounding radius
End shape
| Info |
|---|
This setting is for the shape of the stiffener at the start/end point. |
Displayed when the flat section is selected.
Cutting type : Chamfer / Fillet can be applied to the start/end point.
Displayed when the Flat / Angle / T section are selected.
Hole type : Chamfer / Scallop can be applied to the start/end point.
Displayed when the flat section is selected.
Offset : Offset can be applied to the start and end points respectively.
- Start length : When drawing a stiffener, it is drawn offset from the start length by the input value.
- End length : When you draw a stiffener, it is drawn offset from the point by the end length input.
- From start plane : The offset is generated by the input value from the plane generating the stiffener.
- From end plane : It is created offset by input value from Plane defined in Array.
Property Tab > 3rd sub tab
Array spacing
| Info |
|---|
Sets the spacing for longitudinal stiffeners. Spacing options include Adjustable spacing, By number, Limit Max. Spacing, Pattern spacing and User defined are provided. |
Spacing type : Select the Spacing type.
Adjustable Spacing : After arranging by the interval value you aim, the stiffener is moved to the remaining intervals. Optionally adjust the stiffener spacing between the start, end, and midpoint.
- Adjust at
① First spacing : After arranging the Base Spacing values, adjust the remaining values in the first stiffener interval.
② Last spacing : After arranging the Base Spacing values, adjust the remaining values from the last stiffener interval.
③ First/Last spacing : After arranging by Base Spacing value, adjust the remaining value by dividing the remaining value by the first and last stiffener spacing.
④ Middle spacing : After arranging the Base Spacing values, adjust the remaining values at the middle stiffener spacing (closer to the point if odd).
- Base spacing : Set the target interval value. Arrange the values by their values along the Array path.by Number : Arranges the number entered equally, regardless of the spacing.
- Number of rebar : Enter the number of stiffeners you want to arrange.Limit Max.spacing : Arrange at intervals not exceeding the value entered.
- Max. spacing : Enter the maximum value for the interval. Arrange the stiffeners without allowing a gap greater than the entered interval.Pattern spacing : Arranges only as much as you enter, but no additional arrays.
- Spacing : The interval value entered here is arranged and the interval smaller than the interval is not arranged.User defined : Type in the interval you want.
- Spacing : Enter the user-defined interval. (ex. 3@200, 400, 5@150)
