Section
More than 7000 predefined from Consteel section bank, or custom defined by section macros, including cold-formed sections with stiffener definition support.
IEdge Stiffener
See the component in use in the script library: Continuous multispan beam.
Inputs
| Name | Id | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Angle1 [deg] | A1 | Angle of the first fold in degrees. |
| Angle2 [deg] | A2 | Angle of the second fold in degrees. Note: only relevant if Type is set to double folded. |
| B1 [mm] | B1 | Length of the first fold in mm-s. |
| B2 [mm] | B2 | Length of the second fold in mm-s. Note: only relevant if Type is set to double folded. |
| R1 [mm] | R1 | Radius of the first fold in mm-s. |
| R2 [mm] | R2 | Radius of the second fold in mm-s. Note: only relevant if Type is set to double folded. |
| Type | T | Single or double folded edge stiffener type specification. |
Outputs
| Name | Id | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ConSteel EdgeStiffener | ES | Represents an EdgeStiffener in ConSteel model. |
Intermediate Stiffener
See the component in use in the script library: Continuous multispan beam.
Inputs
| Name | Id | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Alpha [deg] | A | Angle of the plates if plated type, in degrees. |
| D [mm] | D | Diameter of the stiffener, if rounded type, mm-s. |
| PositionFrom | PF | Specifies how to interpret the following position value. Relative expects a value between 0.0 and 1.0, with 0 meaning at the start, 0.5 meaning halfway, etc. Otherwise in mm-s. |
| H [mm] | H | Height of the stiffener, in mm-s. |
| Doubled | Do | Set to true, if you wish to create a double intermediate stiffener. |
| Length [mm] | L | Length of the intermediate stiffener, as measured along the stiffened plate segments axis, in mm-s. |
| PlateSide | PS | Specifies which side of the plate the stiffener should face. |
| R [mm] | R | Radius of the stiffener, if rounded type, in mm-s. |
| PlateSide2 | PS2 | Specifies which side of the plate the optional second stiffener should face, if this is a double stiffener. |
| Type | T | Rounded, triangle or plated intermediate stiffener type specification. |
| X2 [mm or ratio] | X2 | Position of the optional second stiffener's center along the stiffened plate segment's axis if this is a double stiffener. The PositionFrom parameter specifies how to interpret the value, but this value always understood from the first stiffener, not from the segment point. |
| X [mm or ratio] | X | Position of the stiffener's center along the stiffened plate segment's axis. The PositionFrom parameter specifies how to interpret the value. |
