Stiffener Property
Summary
View or edit property information for classification, geometry, analysis, quantity settings of the Stiffener Group.
The property information of the stiffener is identical for both transverse and longitudinal stiffener.
How to Run
Select the Stiffener Group on the screen.
Explanation
Common Tab
[Classification]
Sets the classification properties of the stiffener group.Name : Enter the name of the stiffener group.
Material Type : Select the material type of the stiffener group.
Material : Set the material of the stiffener group.
[Plane Alignment]
Sets the constraint reference point of the Stiffener(Start/End) Plane.Ref. Point (Start/End) : Select the starting point/center point/end point above the geometric line of the target member and use when recreating the rebar group.
[Arrangement]
Sets the spacing for the stiffeners.
[Actual Spacing]
Displays the actual spacing used to arrange the stiffeners.
Section Tab
[Section]
Select the stiffener section shape. Enter the dimension for each section shape.Flat : Height, Thickness
Angle : Height, Width, Web thickness, Flange thickness
T-section : Height, Width, Web thickness, Flange thickness
I-section : Height, Width1∙2, Web thickness, Flange thickness1∙2
U-section : Height, Width1∙2, Thickness, Rounding radius
[End Shape]
Set the detailed geometry of the stiffener.Differenct Start/End Shape : Sets whether the detailed shape settings at the start and end points are applied.
Fitting : Sets the angle at the start and end points of the tranverse stiffener.
Cutting : Sets the detailed geometry above the start and end points of the Flat, T-Section stiffener, etc.
Fitting Type is set to Auto
Flat Type : Chamfer / Fillet
T-Section, Angle, I-Section : Chamfer / Scallop
Fitting Type is not set to Auto
All Type(Except U-Section) : Chamfer / Fillet
Hole : Sets the detailed geometry below the start and end points of the Flat, Angle, T-Section stiffener. (Chamfer / Scallop)
[Plane Offset]
Sets the cover property that adjusts the position of the stiffener group in the member.From Start/End Plane : Enter the stiffener cover thickness from the start and end planes.
[Length Offset]
Adjust the extension length at both ends of the stiffener.From Start/End Point : Enter the extension length at the start and end of the stiffener. Enter a positive (+) value to shorten, and a negative (-) value to extend.
Closed stiffeners cannot be set to Length Offset.
