    The general guidelines for creating the Rib is shown below (Also from the Help page - F1)

    1. Select three nodes to define the box or plane.
    2. Specify the width factor (in case of 3D rib).
    3. Click on Define/Modify box(plane) to visualize the box/plane.
    4. Offset the box/plane either by picking a node or specifying the distance if needed.
    5. Resize the box/plane by picking and dragging the sides of the box/plane.
    6. Select the input faces using Add/Remove button.
    7. Specify the rib mesh size.
    8. Click on Apply button.

    Thanks For Your reply, Mr. Rafael Silva, I already tried using this steps. Most of the cases its not working. After defining the box properly. Its showing " could not form the boundary for the rib ".

    If Possible could you please share any videos.
