Boundary Statement

The BOUNDARY statement is used to generate the outer geometry of the current panel(s) as a closed geometry.

There are three main alternatives for its syntax.

1. The normal syntax in which parts of the outer contour are fetched from the surrounding structure, like panels, curves, lines, The Hull Modelling system then cuts these parts together to form the closed contour.

2. In a variant of this syntax, one of the boundaries may be a "free" side, controlled by the length of the adjoining limits and of a number of parameters.

3. The third alternative consists of a few special cases for the generation of side webs from a set of parameters.
