Stiffeners in Symbolic Hull Views

In planar sections of the hull structure (symbolic hull views) stiffeners are represented in a symbolic way by a line (mould line) and symbols for end treatment and material orientation. For an example, see Hull Detailed Design/ Planar Modelling/ User's Guide/ Information on Drawings and Information Structure/ Views/ Plane Panels/ Plane Views.

By default the mould line is represented by a dash-dotted line if the stiffener is located on the side against you, by a dashed line if located on the side away from you. However, this can be overridden by customer settings in the default files of involved programs. This is also the case with the material symbol.

The conditions at the ends of stiffeners regarding end treatment and connection to adjoining elements is indicated by symbols at the ends of the mould line. These symbols depend on the combination of profile type, end cutting and connection (tight, gap, overlap).

The selection of a certain symbol is currently glued into the system and these rules cannot be changed by the customer. However, a customer may modify the standard symbols delivered by the system.

The tables below describe the symbols that are chosen in a special combination of profile type, endcut type and connection.
