Structural layout of a vessel

Frames, stringers and walls are described by the same types as the structure of a fuselage (see fuselageStructureType) and are positioned in the same way. A vessel given by design parameters has no sections, so its frames and stringers are placed by an absolute position rather than by a section element.

The one part that differs from a fuselage is the wall: a fuselage carries a single skin, while a vessel carries a stack of layers, given under skinLayers and described in vesselSkinLayersType.
