wingRibCrossSectionType

The cross section holds for every rib of the definition.

<material> is the material and the thickness of the sheet of the rib.
<upperCap> and <lowerCap> are the caps along the lines where the rib meets the upper and the lower surface of the wing (capType).
<ribRotation> holds the angle x between the chord surface and the plane of the rib, measured about the line along which the rib meets the chord surface. With 90 degrees, which is the value without the element, the rib stands perpendicular to the chord surface; see the figure in ribRotationType.
<ribPost> is meant for the posts where the rib meets a spar. It carries an area and a material; how the post is shaped and where it sits is not laid down.
<ribCell> gives a part of the set its own cross section (wingRibCellType).

The material of the sheet and of the caps is defined on their surface. Its x reference direction runs along the rib from its beginning to its end, its z reference direction is the normal of the sheet or of the cap.
