Stiffener (Array)

Summary


  • Create a Stiffener Group by placing the Stiffener drawn from the plane in 3D.

[Tab] Property

  • [Arrangement]
    Sets the placement interval for lateral stiffener.

Stiffener Property > Refer Arrangement


[Tab] Array

  • [Method]
    Select how the stiffeners are arranged.

  • Array Along Path : Specifies the stiffener arrangement as a path. Only changes to the section above the Rebar Draw Plane are considered and longitudinal section changes are not reflected.

  • Tapered Array : Specifies the stiffener arrangement criteria for the shape of the object. Reflects the change in the shape of the stiffener according to the longitudinal section change of the side section.

  • Cancel Array : Restores the arranged stiffeners to the Draw Plane state before the arrangement.

  • [Stiffener Type]
    Select the type of stiffener to arrange.

  • Transverse Stiffener : Arrange lateral stiffener.

  • Longitudinal Stiffener : Arrange longitudinal stiffener.

  • Closed Stiffener : Arrange closed stiffener.

  • All : Arrange all types of stiffeners.

  • [Target Type]
    Select the status of the stiffener to be arranged.

  • Draw Stiffener : Arrange the stiffener in the Draw Plane state.

  • Array Stiffener : Select an arranged stiffener to rearrange.

  • All : Arrange stiffener in all states.

  • [Select Stiffener]
    Select the stiffener to arrange.

  • [Select Array Main Target Member]
    Select the target member on which the selected stiffener will be arranged. The Array Path of the stiffener is recreated from the center line of the Array Target Member.

  • [Define End Plane]
    Defines the end point plane on which the stiffener will be arranged.

  • [Reference Path of Spacing]
    Defines the arrangement path of the stiffener.

    • Geometric Line of 1D Member : Specifies the center line of the target member as the array path.

    • Select Edge : Select a Line object and set it as the Array path.

 

Cancel Array Method

Restores the arranged stiffener to the state of the drawplane before the arrangement.

[Tab] Array

  • [Method]
    Select how the stiffeners are arranged.

    • Select Cancel Array.

  • [Select Stiffener]
    Select an arranged stiffener group. Multiple stiffener groups can be selected.

The Cancel Array of a single stiffener group can be restored to the Drawplane state by selecting the stiffener group from the Neutral state.
