Stiffeners

Profiles welded to a plane plate surface are identified as stiffeners. Profiles that, from a functional point of view, are flanges (see below) must also be generated as stiffeners if they are not flat bars.

Stiffeners on type standard brackets are considered to be part of the bracket standards. They cannot be generated separately as stiffeners but can be modified or deleted as part of the bracket definition.

Stiffeners may be straight, curved or knuckled.
