Shell Stiffener - Combine

Purpose:

To combine previously split shell stiffeners.

Prerequisites:

Two or more shell stiffeners that can be combined must exist. Two shell stiffeners may be combined only if they are adjacent to each other and belong to the same curve branch of a shell profile.

Instructions:

If no shell stiffeners are selected, the user will be prompted to indicate which stiffeners to combine. After this is finished with Operation Complete, or if some stiffeners were already selected, the stiffeners will be combined.

Options:

None available.

Result:

The selected shell stiffeners will be combined into the smallest possible number of stiffeners. The Store function may be used to store the shell stiffeners and their shell profiles on the hull structure data bank.
