Longitudinal Stiffener

Define the Longitudinal Stiffener in the Steel part.

From the Main Menu select Design > Composite Design >Longitudinal Stiffener

Longitudinal Stiffener

Target Section & Element

Select a Section for which the parts are to be defined.

Both end parts (I&J) have the same Design Group

Specify whether the I and j ends have the same stiffener data.

Reference Part

The reference part is the location from where you want to specify the location of the Stiffener.

Position

Specify the position of the stiffener location from the Reference point.

Distance from Ref.

Specify the distance of the stiffener from the starting point.

Number

Specify the number of the stiffeners.

Stiffener Tye

Specify the stiffener type by clicking on  

Note

The stiffness of the Longitudinal Stiffeners are not considered in the analysis and hence if it is desired, the user must increase the stiffness of the section by the use of section stiffness scale factor.
