Forming ribs on a curved surface

Hi,
I have a curved part as below:
I want to add strengthening ribs to the inner surface for 3D printing - as depicted by the brilliantly drawn red line!
The part shown will be approximately 1mm thick and the ribs will be of a similar depth / width.
What would be the best way to create those ribs please?
Any help appreciated.
Thank you.
