Corrugation Page

Only accessible in Edit mode.

Figure 4:8. The Internal Surface Editor dialog - Corrugation page.

This enables you to apply a simply defined corrugation to either a transverse or longitudinal. The controlling parameters of the corrugation are illustrated in the Definition panel. It’s Orientation (Vertical or Horizontal, None being used to revert to a planar definition) and location relative to the internal’s position (either Middle, Aft or Forward) are selected in the Position pane.

If the selected Orientation is Vertical greater control of the corrugation’s definition is possible, through the following settings:

• Start Pos - the lead length to the first corrugation. Measured from the centreline (Y = 0) for a transverse (definition is reflected) and from X = 0 for a longitudinal.

• No of Steps - the number of corrugation steps (remember for a transverse the definition is reflected).

• Starting corrugation direction - either Aft or Fwd, or Port or Starboard if a transverse or longitudinal respectively.

Figure 4:10. Example Vertical longitudinal bulkhead settings.

Note:
Additional settings for vertical corrugations are only applicable to planar bulkheads that means, having no sheer or camber definition.

As more than one internal can be edited at a time, the input displays will indicate if there is a difference. Any edit field’s text will be grey, the Orientation drop down will be blank and neither Middle, Aft or Forward will be selected.

When the Apply button is clicked the selected internal surfaces will be updated with the new settings. If a parameter is different (indicated as described above) for the selected internal surfaces; then that parameter is not set (that means, each of the internals will retain its original setting for this parameter).
