doorAssemblyPositionType

The structure of a door is the area of the shell in which the door sits, bounded by two frames and two stringers. The opening itself is a cut-out of the fuselage (fuselageCutOutType); the radius of its corners and the reinforced structure around it are an element of the library (doorCutOutType).

Extent

Along the fuselage, the area extends from the frame <startFrameUID> to the frame <endFrameUID>. Around the fuselage, it extends from the stringer <startStringerUID> in the direction of increasing <referenceAngle> to the stringer <endStringerUID>, as a skin panel does (skinSegmentType). On the right side of the fuselage, where the angle increases upwards, the start stringer is therefore the lower one; on the left side, it is the upper one.

Door type and data for evacuation

<doorType> classifies the door: pax, service, emergency or cargo. <zBase>, <minWidth>, <minHeight> and <ySign> describe the door for boarding and evacuation analyses, independent of the structure: the height of the sill above the floor, the clear width and height of the opening, and the side of the fuselage, 1 for the right side (+y) and −1 for the left. A deck describes the same doors from the cabin (deckDoorType).

Example

The structure of the forward cargo door of the example, on the right side between the frames at x = 7.5 m and 8.5 m and the stringers at 210° and 255°, which run below and above its cut-out:

<cargoDoors>
    <cargoDoor uID="Fuselage_cargoDoorFwdStructure">
        <name>Forward cargo door</name>
        <doorType>cargo</doorType>
        <doorElementUID>CargoDoor</doorElementUID>
        <startFrameUID>Fuselage_frame2</startFrameUID>
        <endFrameUID>Fuselage_frame4</endFrameUID>
        <startStringerUID>Fuselage_stringer210</startStringerUID>
        <endStringerUID>Fuselage_stringer255</endStringerUID>
    </cargoDoor>
</cargoDoors>
