Naming of Shell Stiffeners in the Structure Data Bank

The name of a shell stiffener in the structure data bank should in principle be completely free. However, currently a stiffener must apply to the following rules:

<FreeName>-S<sequence_number>[<symmetry>]

• <FreeName> is any string valid in a object name. For example: it can be the name of the curved panel that the stiffener belongs to.

• <sequence_number> is a free running number that may be selected arbitrarily to give the shell stiffener a unique name in the structure data bank

• <symmetry> is empty (missing) if the stiffener is valid both on port-side (PS) and on starboard side (SB). If PS specific P should be added, if SB specific S should be added.

  Example:
  A shell stiffener that belongs to the curved panel AA567-8P and that is PS specific may get the name AA567-8-S25P. It may also get a name not based on the panel name, for example, STIFFENER-S25P
