Hypersizer V5.6.38
The Hypersizer crippling analysis does not allow a user input for fixed or free edges. The panels are assumed to be multi stiffener.
Test programs often test only one stiffener and effective skin. The applied loads required for a multiple stiffener configuration with thicker laminates can be beyond the scope of a typical test facility.
Hypersizer should provide a user input for the skin boundary conditions (free or fixed) in a crippling analysis (The default should be fixed). This would provide the user a capability to determine a one stiffener crippling test prediction (free skin edge).
