Modelling

Additional features of the planar hull modelling input language are described in detail in User Guide Hull Detailed Design / Planar Modelling / Design Language of Hull Modelling / Special FRP Additions. The component types affected by the FRP setting are plates, stiffeners, holes, seams, notches, doubling and flanges. Moreover, beads are available as an additional component type in an FRP project (accompanied by the corresponding BEAD statement in the input language).

The Statement Wizard will adapt as well in an FRP project.

Laminate information may be set for shell plates and shell stiffeners, both interactively and in the XML input files used in batch modelling of curved hull.

In both planar and curved hull, the concept of material quality refers to the core material in an FRP project.

Material qualities with a density greater than 0.000001 kg/mm3 are interpreted as steel material and will thus be excluded from selection lists in dialogs.
