Swedging

There is an additional way to stiffen a plate surface, for example, to use small profiles like corrugations. Such corrugations are, in Hull, called swedging. From a functional point of view, they act very much like stiffeners. In Hull Modelling, they can be generated as "stiffeners" according to the syntax of the STIFFENER statement. Swedging is identified by profile types in the interval 100-110. The characteristics of the swedging is specified in a user defined external table, a swedging object.

Of course all attributes of the STIFFENER statement that are related to the stiffener as a distinct physical component of its own do not make any sense when generating swedging, for instance, endcutting, position number and material quality. Apart from this, all STIFFENER syntaxes can be used. Swedging will modify the geometry of the part it is located on. This modification of the geometry will take place in the splitting to parts. Therefore, the geometry of the model is correct.
