Overview of Functions
Arrays the stiffeners created by the Stiffener > Draw function.
Details of Functions
Array Tab
Array target
Decide what kind of destination you want to select.
Draw Stiffener : Select the stiffener to array.
Array Stiffener : Select Array Stiffener and modify it.
All : Select all stiffeners with no distinction.
Array type
Select Array method.
Array along path : Stiffeners are arranged along the Array path.
Tapered array : Sectioning the shape of the target member along the array path and stiffeners are tapered.
Select stiffener
Define end plane
By select : Select a specific face.
Select stiffener plane : Trans already arrayed. Defines the plane of the selected stiffener among the stiffeners.
3 points : Pick three points to define the plane.
By offset : Defines the plane away from the Normal direction by the Offset value entered from the plane selected by the Select stiffener.
Curve normal : Click on any point on the edge of the member to define the edge and normal plane at the clicked position.
Reference path of spacing
Geometric line of 1D member : Apply the geometric line of the target member as the baseline of the gap.
Select edge : Applies the edge of the object selected on the screen as the baseline of the gap.
Property Tab
Array spacing
User defined : Enter the desired interval value format.
Adjustable spacing : After inputting the target stiffener spacing, the stiffener spacing should be appropriately distributed at the start, end and center of the spare spacing.
By number : Array Specifies the number of stiffeners to place in the bin.
Limit max. spacing : Based on the spacing value of the stiffener you are aiming for, calculate the number to arrange and rearrange the number evenly. (User input interval value ≥ actual interval value).
Pattern spacing : Enter the stiffener spacing you want to target.
