Stiffeners

Tryle:

--- Quote from: cam-nav ---Looks like you are on a newer version than me because of the stiffener breakpoints for the Width and Depth.

Looks like it would do as it should except for the fact you still can't specify what diameter of stiffener you need in the breakpoints. That looks like it is still controlled globally for the one stiffener name or am I wrong?
--- End quote ---

You can specify.  This example shows only the one entry, but you can see how you could break it out.

cam-nav:
Oh, I gotta update!

cadbob:
Nice explanation Tryle and that is one way on how to work around it and I most say took some time. I do see your only using Long Side Dimension, we use Long Side/Short Side though.

Thank You

You could also name your stiffeners by the perspective wg and only use them in that water gauge of course you also have to set your Break Points for your holes.

But a far simpler way is to have MAP add another table for Short Side. We are 1/2 way there.
We should be able to call out the Stiffener per Side and call out the Stiffener by name as to opposed of Coding and using Charts in Shop.
I asked Andy to wish list this today

Tryle:
Thanks for the compliment Bob.

There really is no eloquent way of setting up tie-rods.  Fortunately i do understand their intent and have got a working solution going, but my long side only pressure classes are not as fleshed out as a long side/short side table definitely would be.

Hopefully some day some formal documentation from MAP will surface about tie-rods and perhaps a flow diagram of the logic behind the routines work starting from a pressure class table and what things are read next and how many times.

I love the complexity and power of the software, but I'm afraid a lot of it is wasted because the end user doesn't know how to use it because there's no documentation to accompany it!

Phred:
The 6/15/11 help file (700+ pages) has a pretty good explanation of stiffners and their associated breakpoint files, but probably not as in depth as stated above
