Data dialog box(Stiffened)
To
enter new or additional thickness data
Click
in the Properties dialog box and enter the following items :
Value
Thickness
ID: Thickness numbers of planar elements (Auto-set to the
last thickness number +1)
In-plane
& Out-of-plane: Enter a thickness when the in-plane
and out-of-plane thicknesses are identical in both directions.
In-plane:
Enter a thickness used for the calculation of stiffness in the
in-plane direction.
Out-of-Plane:
Enter a thickness used for the calculation of stiffness in the
out-of-plane direction.
Plate
Offset : Offset of a plate section in the element's
local-z direction.
Thickness
Ratio : For a specific location of Offset, enter the distance
as ratio of the offset distance to the plate thickness.
Note
For
example, if the plate thickness is 200mm and thickness ratio is
entered as 0.1, offset distance is 20mm. If In-plane thickness
is different from Out-of-plane thickness, offset distance is determined
based on the In-plane thickness.
Value
: Enter the offset distance directly.
Stiffened
Thickness
ID: Thickness numbers of planar elements
Value:
Select to define sections by directly entering the data for calculating
the stiffness of ribs.
Thickness
for Weight: Equivalent thickness for calculating the weight
Rib
Position: Rib position relative to planar elements
Lower:
Rib placed underside of the planar elements.
Upper:
Rib placed upper side of the planar elements.
yz

direction of ECS x-axis
xz
section: Stiffness calculation data of rib placed in the
direction of ECS y-axis
Section
Shape List: Select a section shape of the rib.
In-Plane:
Enter a thickness used for the calculation of stiffness in the
in-plane direction.
Out-of-Plane:
Enter a thickness used for the calculation of stiffness in the
out-of-plane direction.
