Special FRP Additions

General information about the FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastics) option of Hull can be found in Hull Setup and customization. To support modelling of vessels in the FRP technique certain extensions have been made to some of the input statement of the design language of Hull Planar Modelling. Moreover, quite a new statement type has been introduced for the modelling of beads along panel boundaries. These extensions are described below. The special features are also supported in interactive modelling of a FRP vessel.

At the same time certain clauses of input statements have become obsolete for FRP vessels. However, these are not specified in this documentation and they are normally available for use/definition. However, they will in most cases have no effect if used.
