Create Stiffener Mesh

Create 1D elements as shell stiffeners from orphan lines representing trailing edges.

Introduction

The Create tool allows you to create the following:
  • Bar2
  • Rods

It creates beams as plate stiffeners from a selection of free lines (orphan lines). It seeds nodes on shell edges within a tolerance from lines and auto orients/offsets beams.

Access the Create tool from the Marine ribbon.
