Modify STI End

Purpose:

This function is used to modify stiffener ends. A stiffener group or an individual stiffener is selected. One of the ends is modified to stop at either a line or an existing component. As for the Split_STI function the component can be any component on the panel that a stiffener end can connect to or it can be another intersecting panel. A third option is to pick the panel boundary in which case the stiffener will end at the panel edge.

Prerequisites:

A panel must be active. If there is no active panel, panel activation is prompted prior to performing this function.

Instructions:

Indicate a stiffener or a group of stiffeners to be modified. The given pick point is also used to select which end that shall be modified. This may not always be possible (for example, picking in a cross section view) and a question is then asked about which end to be modified. Choose a line definition from the displayed sub-menu and make the line definition. If preferred, existing components may be selected instead

Options:

Options can activated in two situations:

1. When selecting stiffeners to be modified, the Option button is used to toggle between group selection and individual stiffener selection.

2. When selecting intersecting element, the Option button is used to toggle between line definition and selection of an intersecting component..

Result:

The selected stiffeners are modified
