Stiffening rings can be adjoined to any cylindrical shells in the model. Component name, material, dimensions, weld strength factors and load properties for stiffening rings are set in the same way as those for cylindrical shells. Ring placement on the model is determined by the adjoining component and the distance from the left (head) margin (toward Z-axis). The ring can be placed both inside and outside the shell.

Ring type and dimensions are determined by standard cross-sections or input manually. Material corrosion must be taken into account.
