Connection Stiffeners

Connection stiffeners can be generated according to any of the previous sub-syntaxes. However, the special syntax for connection stiffener is very simple to use, because it involves a high degree of automation and default setting of parameters.

• In one case (type = 4, see below), the stiffener overlaps for example, a longitudinal at one end and has a free other end.

• In the other case, the free end is connected to another stiffener/flange on the same panel.

The images below illustrate the different cases.

type = 4:

Attachment to a stiffener placed either on the same or on the opposite side of the panel, to a flange or to the outer contour:

Default values in this case:

     PRO = 10, 150, 12

     CUT = 1220, 100 / CUT = 1302, 15

If V > 95 or V < 85, this angle will be added to the first end cut.

type = 5:

Stiffener of type 5 may only be attached to a stiffener on the same side of the panel or to a flange. In both cases, the stiffener abuts the profile.

Default values in this case:

     PRO = 10, 200, 12

     CUT = 1220, 100 / CUT = 1120

If V1 > 95 or V1 < 85 / V2 < 89 or V2 > 91, the first and the second end cut, respectively, will be supplemented with these angles.

For both types, profile and end cut data can be changed via input.

Syntax:

The remaining clauses have the same meaning as for ordinary stiffeners.

Remarks:

• The system automatically selects the correct direction of the mold line.

• If end cut data is controlled via input, end cut data for the overlapped end should always be given before the slash, for the other end after the slash.

  Example:
  STI, 4, SID=AFT, L190-250;
