Stiffener

Element describing the structure concept of type stiffeners which are attached to plating and constitutes the scantlings. Stiffener has the following child elements:

Child Namespace Type Use Cardinality Choice Description
CircumArc3D ocx ocx:CircumArc3D_T req. [1, โˆž] True 3D Line/Arc representation. Represents a semi-circle uniquely defined by three points in 3D space given by the start position, intermediate position and the end position..
ConnectionConfiguration ocx ocx:ConnectionConfiguration_T opt. [0, 2] False The stiffener end configuration at end 1 and/or end 2 of the parent stiffener.
CutBy ocx ocx:CutBy_T opt. [0, 1] False A structural concept defining a cut-out in a surface defined by a parametric hole or a set of generic trim curves.
Description ocx xs:string opt. [0, 1] False Contains a description of the component its parent represents. The description is stored as a string. You can use this element for whatever purposes you require. This element can be used inside many OCX XML elements but is optional.
EndCutEnd1 ocx ocx:EndCut_T opt. [0, 1] False The stiffener end cut detailing at end 1.
EndCutEnd2 ocx ocx:EndCut_T opt. [0, 1] False The stiffener end cut detailing at end 2.
ExternalGeometryRef ocx ocx:ExternalGeometryRef_T opt. [0, 1] False The ExternalGeometryRef element is used to point to an external geometry representation of the parent entity (e.g. Plate, Stiffener, Bracket, Member).
FlangeContour ocx ocx:Contour3D_T opt. [0, 2] False The outer contour of a stiffener flange. The FlangeContour can be used to render the shape of a BarSection.
Inclination ocx ocx:Inclination_T req. [1, โˆž] False The inclination of the cross section of a stiffener or a pillar along its trace line. A vector pair giving the local orientation of the web and flange directions at the point given by the Position element. The FlangeDirection is optional and not necessary for a symmetrical cross section. Only one inclination is necessary for a non-twisted (straight) stiffener or pillar.
LimitedBy ocx ocx:LimitedBy_T opt. [0, 1] False The references to limiting objects forming a closed contour of the parent element.
MaterialRef ocx ocx:MaterialRef_T req. [1, 1] False A reference to the parent's material.
Offset ocx ocx:Quantity_T opt. [0, 1] False An offset from a reference plane or surface. A possitive offset value is in the direction of the surface normal vector.
Penetration ocx ocx:Penetration_T opt. [0, โˆž] False A structural concept of stiffener penetration configurations typically used in shipbuilding.
PhysicalProperties ocx ocx:PhysicalProperties_T req. [1, 1] False Basic physical properties of structure objects (weight and centre of gravity). These properties are provided by the exporting application and can be used as a quality measure by the receiving application to ensure correctness of the import.
SectionRef ocx ocx:SectionRef_T req. [1, 1] False A reference to the parent's cross section.
TraceLine ocx ocx:TraceLine_T req. [1, 1] True The landing curve on the moulded panel surface represented by any Curve3D type.
WebContour ocx ocx:Contour3D_T opt. [0, 1] False The outer contour of a stiffener web. The WebContour can be used to render the shape of a BarSection.

Stiffener has the following attributes:

Attribute Namespace Type Use Default Fixed Description
functionType ocx Restriction of type xs:string opt. The structure function type giving the structure property function. Follows STEP AP218 coding and IACS Rec 82 Glossary. Enumerator of structure functions which shall be assigned to the parent structure concept.
GUIDRef ocx Restriction of type ocx:guid req. A globally Unique ID referring an entity in the sending application.
name ocx xs:string opt. An optional descriptive or display name.
id ocx xs:ID req. An identifier for an element unique within the scope of the XML file. Each id must be unique within a document. The attribute uses the standard XML 1.0 ID type as defined in the XML Schema specification. This attribute is required in many OCX XML elements and an application should generate them automatically.
