On PROFIS I was adding web stiffeners to one face of an RHS section on a recent project. When I added the stiffeners they were automatically added to the wrong face and I was unable to find a way to add them to desired face. With a doubly symmetric section, rotating the section would achieve this, but this was not the case for my project. Is there a way to manually select which face to add the web stiffeners to?
Hi,
Thank you for your question. Currently, the location on which the stiffeners are added are pre-set for our CBFEM settings. The typical suggestion would be as you mentioned in rotating the section. For your case where you are not able to do so, please reach out to us via the link below and we can assist directly according to your model.
