Reference to Tags

Stiffeners can be referred to via reference terms, S-numbers. For instance, a reference to stiffener No.3 on panel ABC may be achieved via:

--- , 'ABC', S3, ---

Reference to stiffeners via their tags can be performed in a similar way.

• Reference to a longitudinal tag is made via SL<no> (Stiffener at Longitudinal position <no>), for example, SL5.

  Note: The longitudinal number should not be multiplied by 10.

• Reference to a frame tag is made via SF<no> (Stiffener at Frame position <no>), for example, SF135.

• Reference to a user defined tag is made via ST<no> (Stiffener with Tag <no>), for example, ST99.

In all cases, repetitions can be used and the reference terms can be combined with the keyword REFLECT , for example,:

SL5-10, REF

Reference to stiffeners on the starboard side of a deck or a platform is made via the negative longitudinal number (for example, the stiffener b, c, A, B, C in the image above):

SL-10, SL-1(-2)-7

The tag reference terms can be used in all situations (= all statements) where stiffener references are allowed.
