Create Bracket between Stiffener and Panel

Precondition

• Create two panels without limit perpendicular to each other, for example:

  

  For further information, see Create unlimited panel using grid.

• Add a stiffener to a plate.

  

  For more information, see Create stiffener at plane using grid.

You can create a bracket defined by a plane, a stiffener and specified parameters for the bracket.

1. On the Hull Design tab in the Create group, select Bracket.

2. In the 3D View, select the orienting model for the first bracket limit, for example, the stiffener.

   The application highlights the stiffener.

3. In the Add limit length prompt, enter a length value for the first bracket arm, for example,1500.

4. Press Enter.

5. In the Select Pline to keep prompt, enter a P-line position name to define the side on which the bracket must be created, for example, CTOP.

6. Press Enter.

7. If the Add toe length prompt occurs, press Enter to omit the toe length definition.

8. If the Add toe radius prompt occurs, press Enter to omit the toe radius definition.

9. In the 3D View, select the orienting model for the second bracket limit, for example, the plane.

   The application highlights the plane.

10. Press Down Arrow to display the available options.

11. Select Accept.

12. In the Add limit length prompt, enter a length value for the first bracket arm, for example, 1500.

13. Press Enter.

14. If the Add toe length prompt occurs, press Enter to omit the toe length definition.

15. If the Add toe radius prompt occurs, press Enter to omit the toe radius definition.

16. Press Down Arrow to display the available options.

17. Select Accept.

18. Select Fee Side Limit.

    The application creates the bracket in the 3D View.
