cellPositioningChordwiseType

The border is given in one of three ways:

xsi1 and xsi2: the relative chordwise position of the border at the inner and at the outer end of the cell, so that the border may run at an angle to the lines of constant ξ;
sparUID: the border follows that spar;
contourCoordinate: the border follows the skin at that position, from 0 at the leading edge to 1 at the trailing edge.

A contour coordinate runs on the skin itself, not on the chord surface: it is the relative position along the surface, so a border given this way follows the skin. Because the two kinds of border are of a different nature, either all four borders of a cell are given as contour coordinates or none of them is.
