FRP Additions

Description

Laminate can be given not only for planar plates and stiffeners, but also for flanges.

The old term GRP (Glass fibre Reinforced Plastics) has been replaced by the more general term FRP (Fibre Reinforced Plastics). As a consequence, two attributes in the TIL input file when setting up FRP has been renamed. PERCENT_OF_GLASS is now PERCENT_OF_FIBER and GLASS_WEIGHT has been renamed to FABRIC_WEIGHT.

Benefits

This development means better support for production with laminate technique.

Compatibility Constraints

Old TIL input files for FRP settings must be modified, adapting them to the renamed attributes.
