The swages is represented in both symbolic hull views and in 3D views. The representation is controlled by the customer via the swage object.
In symbolic hull views in the plane of the plate the swaging is represented by one or several lines which may be combined with a symbol, showing a symbolic cross section of the swage profile. Sections of the plate show the true shape of the swages.
The available line types and symbols are identified by numbers as described below.
Line types ("code for plane views"):
|
= 1 |
A dash-dotted line, combined with a symbol (if defined, see below) |
|
|
_____ _ _____ _ _____ _ _____ _ _____ _ _____ _ _____ |

|
|

|
= 2 |
Facing side: |
_____ _ _____ _ _____ _ _____ _ _____ _ _____ _ _____ |
|
|

|
Back side: |
_____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ ___ |
|
|
A dash-dotted line on the facing side, a dashed line on the back side, also optionally combined with a symbol. |

= 101 |
A symbolic representation of the swage (supposing for example, a triangular swage): |
|
|
Facing side: |
_____ _ _____ _ _____ _ _____ _ _____ _ _____ _ _____ _______________________________________________ _____ _ _____ _ _____ _ _____ _ _____ _ _____ _ _____ |
|

|
Back side: |
_______________________________________________ _____ _ _____ _ _____ _ _____ _ _____ _ _____ _ _____ _______________________________________________ |
|
|
= 102 |
A symbolic representation of the swage (supposing for example, a swage with a section as a trapezoid): |
|
|
Facing side: |
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ |

The following symbols can be used in combination with the line (see above).

Example:
A line type 1 to be combined with symbol number 2 will result in the following representation in a planar view.
The next figure shows a section view of a panel with swages (symbolic view). A 3D-view in the direction of the swage will look the same.
