Hi,
I need to create a Rib with "MERGE RIB’S ENDS" option.
Attachet you have the model I use.
Why doesn't the Rib I want to create accept MERGE RIB’S ENDS option?
Could someone do it? If yes, please send your model.

Thanks

Because there are no natural limits on either side of the profile, move the profile inside the model so that there are natural limits along the guide curve in both directions.
 
No ribs is not the way to go, I see it's related to your other tube post. I attached a model with shell based approach.
If you can't open it redo it:
1-Create solid bars with Pad feature and those two sketches you have
--You should have a T-shaped geometry with circular sections... no hole
2-Use Shell feature and pick those three faces where the cavity should be and set a thickness parameter
