Stiffeners

Use for


Situation	Description
	Stiffeners at a beam end.

Selection order

Select the main part (beam).
Pick a position.
The detail is created automatically when the position is picked.

Picture tab

Use the Picture tab to control the stiffener plate position.


	Description
1	Define the gap between the stiffener plates and beam flanges. The default size of the gap between the stiffener plates and beam flanges is `0 mm`.
2	Define the stiffener plate distance from the beam flange.

Parts tab

Use the Parts tab to control the stiffener properties.


Option	Description
Left stiffener Right stiffener	Define the stiffener thickness, width and height. By default, the thickness is `1.5*beam web thickness` rounded up to the next plate thickness.


Option	Description	Default
Pos_No	Prefix and start number for the part position number. Some components have a second row of fields where you can enter the assembly position number.	The default part start number is defined in the Components settings in File menu > Settings > Options.
Material	Material grade.	The default material is defined in the Part material box in the Components settings in File menu > Settings > Options.
Name	Name that is shown in drawings and reports.
Finish	Describes how the part surface has been treated.

Parameters tab

Use the Parameters tab to control the stiffener angle and chamfers.


Option	Description
	Position of the stiffeners. You can enter horizontal angles in degrees for the right and the left stiffener.
	Chamfer type and dimensions. If you select the No Chamfer option, a clash can occur between the stiffener and the I-profile rounding. Additionally, you can define the chamfer dimensions vertically and horizontally. If you select an arc chamfer, the horizontal dimension is the radius and the vertical dimension has no effect.
	Set the stiffener polygon rotation of the right and the left stiffener. The value you enter determines the number of points by which the start point of the polygon is moved in the direction shown by the arrows.

Chamfer type


Option	Description
	Default Line chamfer AutoDefaults can change this option.
	No chamfer
	Line chamfer
	Convex arc chamfer
	Concave arc chamfer
