Shell Stiffener - Split

Purpose:

To split an existing shell stiffener into two or more smaller pieces.

Prerequisites:

None.

Instructions:

A pop-up menu will let the user select the kind of object that should be used to split the stiffeners. Objects that can be used to split a shell stiffener are:

• Hull curves

• Seams

• Shell profiles

• Planes

• Planar panels.

If any shell stiffeners are already selected, these will be split, and if any shell profiles are selected, the shell stiffeners belonging to these will be selected. As the final step, the user has to indicate the objects to use for the splitting. Several shell stiffeners may be selected at a time, as well as several splitting objects.

Options:

None available.

Result:

The selected shell stiffeners will be split in the intersections with the selected splitting objects. The Store function may be used to store the shell stiffeners and their shell profiles on the hull structure data bank.
