I am coming from Solidworks and new to Inventor. I'd like to know the best workflow to model a sheet metal panel that has stiffeners fixed to the back of it. (see attacahed images) In solidworks i done this as a multibody part with the stiffener modelled as a weldment in the part, this way all the parameters could be controlled inside the part such as the pattern qty and spacing of the stiffeners. Inventor doesnt seem to have a similar option as frame generator is only for assemblies, but correct me if im wrong. 

 

I have multiple sizes of the panels and need to be able to easily adjust the panel sizes, stiffener qty & spacings based on rules. What is the best workflow to achieve this?
