Stiffener Creation

Once you have created decks and bulkheads, you will want to add stiffeners to them to strengthen them. This task has a simple explanation of deck longitudinal stiffener creation. This, and other types of stiffeners, are explained in more detail in Creating Stiffeners. The image below shows longitudinal stiffeners (highlighted) placed on a deck.

  Select the plate on which you want to place a stiffener, and click the Stiffener button to open the Stiffener dialog box.

For a detailed explanation of the Stiffener dialog box fields, see Using the Stiffener Dialog Box.
