Currently the checks of stiffened panel are considering only continuous stiffeners and same spacing through the panels. On some projects it is not possible to have continuous stiffeners for some reasons, So it will be nice if this option can be added in plate panel checks.
At some locations it may be required to have different spacing for 1st stiffener and different for remaining stiffeners, So it will be nice is there can be option to implement such thing in plate panels.
