Purpose: Used to set minimum clearance between a splice and the nearest stiffener.
--> Given in girder input
Minimum clearance distance between a splice location and the nearest web stiffener. A warning message is generated if the clearance is less. Default is 12 inches.
STFCLEAR is measured from the centerline of the splice location. Note: this warning is simply to notify the user that a stiffener is near a splice location which could possibly lead to a fabrication problem.
