Endcut Symbols of Stiffeners

In symbolic hull views (planar views and shell expansion views) stiffeners are drawn symbolically in top views. (The term stiffener refers in this document to both plane panel stiffeners and to shell stiffeners, that means, longitudinal or transversal frames). In this type of views a stiffener is represented by its mould line, by a material symbol and by a symbolic representation of the endcuts.

The purpose of this document is to describe to some detail the principles of the currently used symbols for endcuts. These symbols are supposed to give a fair idea of the shape of the endcut and the connection at a stiffener end.
