Stiffener Statement Profile Types

- 2 minute read
Only two profile types are available for use for stiffeners, the normal flat bar (type 10, with or without supporting beads) and a special profile type with a cross-section in the shape of a trapezoid. The latter has been assigned the profile type 99. Use of any other profile type will result in an error message.
Syntax
|
STIFFENER, ... ,LAMINATE = <lam side>[,<lam top>] [,BED = <width>] [,BLAM=<bead_lam>] [,BPO = <bead_posno>] , ... ; |
|
|
<lam_side> |
Defines the laminate code on the side of the profile. |
|
<lam_top> |
Defines the laminate code on the top of the profile. |
|
A missing <lam_top> means that <lam_top> will be set 2* <lam_side>. |
|
|
<bead_lam> |
Defines the laminate code for the bead. |
|
BEAD |
Defines the leg length of the bead along the profile. If given, the profile must be of type 10. |
|
BPO |
Defines a position number of the beads. |
Example (of profile type 10 ("flat bar"), see image below):
|
STI, ... ,PRO = 10, 200, 60 ,LAM = 11, 12 ,QUA = 200 ,BEAD = 20 ,BPO = 4 , ...; |
Example (of profile type 99, see image below):
|
STI, ... ,PRO = 99, 300, 100, 80 ,LAM = 12 ,QUA = 300 , ... ; |
