      Element angle

Stringer angle: the reference axis for the stringer angle is defined by the two leading edge points of the 'from'- and the 'to'-element of the componentSegment definition. The angle between the reference axis and the stringers equals the rotation around the z-reference axis. For details, please refer to the picture below.

      Element angleReference[0, 1]

If the reference of the stringer angle shall be different from the default implementation then this parameter may be set. Allowed values include: leadingEdge, trailingEdge and globalY. Furthremore, it is possible to provide the UID of a spar.

      Element pitch

The pitch describes the distance between to adjacent stringers in the plane rectangular to the stringer elongation direction.

Remarks

Within the wingStringerType wing stringers are defined. The stringer are defined by referencing on the stringerStructureUID, where the shape and material settings of one single stringer is defined. In addition the orientaion and the stringer pitch have to be defined:

One stringer intersects the point at the given xsi and eta position.

Alternatively, an exlicit stringer definition can be applied if the stringers shall be tapered.
