In the global case swages are not modelled explicitly. The plate containing the swages is modelled as shell element with orthotropic material based on the isotropic material of the plate.

… modified Young modulus perpendicular to the corrugated direction. |

… Shear modulus in the plane of the plate. |

… plate length perpendicular to the swages. |

… developed plate length. |
In a local model the plate is again modelled as shell but with beams in the swage positions. The correct beam dimension is given by the user. The plate thickness is changed:
For detailed analyzes the swages have to be modelled as they are.
