modelSettings Element

Settings that affect the fuselage’s finite element model. The splitting of the optimization regions still account for the given splitting in CPACS. So if some certain structure is split more fine, while these parameters are coarse, the fine split stays intact!

NameOccurrencesDescription
Sequence Sequence
      Element skinBaysInSizingRegionEta[0, 1]

Number of bays in x-(eta) direction that defines the size of the skin optimization region. Defaults to 1

      Element skinBaysInSizingRegionXsi[0, 1]

Number of bays in circumferential direction that defines the size of the skin optimization region. Defaults to 4

      Element framesInOptimizationRegion[0, 1]

Number of adjacent frames that are within one optimization region. Defaults to 4

      Element optimizationRegionsInOneFrame[0, 1]

In case framesInOptimizationRegion=1 a frame can be split into several sub-optimization regions. This defines the number of optimization regions in one frame. The size might change slightly due to given framePositions which stay intact. Defaults to 6

      Element stringersInOptimizationRegion[0, 1]

Number of adjacent stringers that are within one optimization region. Defaults to 4

      Element stringerLinesInOptimizationRegion[0, 1]

In case stringersInOptimizationRegion=1 a stringer can be split into several sub-optimization regions. This defines the number of lines(sections between a two adjacent frames) that determine the size of the optimization regions in one stringer. The size might change slightly due to given stringerPositions which stay intact. Defaults to 10

      Element crossbeamsInOptimizationRegion[0, 1]

Number of adjacent crossbeams that are within one optimization region. Defaults to 4

      Element crossbeamstrutsInOptimizationRegion[0, 1]

Number of adjacent crossbeamstruts that are within one optimization region. Defaults to 4

      Element longfloorbeamsInOptimizationRegion[0, 1]

Number of adjacent longfloorbeams that are within one optimization region. Defaults to 2

      Element longfloorbeamLinesInOptimizationRegion[0, 1]

In case longfloorbeamsInOptimizationRegion=1 a longfloorbeam can be split into several sub-optimization regions. This defines the number of lines(sections between a two adjacent crossbeams) that determine the size of the optimization regions in one longfloorbeam. The size might change slightly due to given longfloorbeamPositions which stay intact. Defaults to 20

      Element stringerModeling[0, 1]

Determines how stringers are modeled. Defaults to “complexBeamSection”
