RemarksProfileBasedStructuralElement Type, containing the data of a structural element, that are based on 2-dimensional profiles.
The parameter 'structuralProfileUID' refers to the definition of the 2-dimensional profile. This profile is defined by several points in the x-y-space. Always two points are combined two one sheet. The properties of each sheet are defined in the 'sheetProperties' section by referencing on the sheetUID and the material properties. The orthotropy direction of composite materials equals the x-sheet axis. The orthotropy direction angle equals a positive rotation around the z-sheet axis as indicated in the picture below (part 3.), where a wing stringer is defined as an example:
In the section 'globalBeamProperties' the properties of the structural profile in an equivalent beam representation are defined.
