Situation

Description

Fitting connection without stiffeners.

Fitting connection with upper and lower stiffener.

Lower stiffener

Picture tab

Use the Picture tab to control the fitting dimensions.

Dimensions

Description

1

Stiffener horizontal distance from the secondary beam edge.

2

Stiffener vertical distance from the secondary beam edge.

3

Distance between the main beam and the secondary beam.

Option Description
Max gap allowed to end plate Enter the tolerance value for fitting the secondary part.

Use this option when the secondary part is skewed. The gap is calculated using the skew angle and the height of the secondary profile.

If the gap is within the tolerance value, the secondary part is fitted in the main part coordinate system. When the defined maximum gap is greater than the actual gap in the model, the secondary part is fitted in the secondary part coordinate system.

Weldings Select whether welds are created.

Welds are created when you select Yes. The default is that welds are not created.

Parts tab

Use the Parts tab to control the stiffener properties.
