| Sequence | This is the simple and default stringer definition | |
| pitch | The pitch describes the distance between to adjacent stringers in the plane rectangular to the stringer elongation direction. | |
| refPoint | Relative height at eta, xsi position | |
| angle | Stringer angle: the reference axis for the stringer angle is defined by the two leading edge points of the 'from'- and the 'to'-element of the componentSegment definition. The angle between the reference axis and the stringers equals the rotation around the z-reference axis. For details, please refer to the picture below. | |
| angleReference | [0, 1] | If the reference of the stringer angle shall be different from the default implementation then this parameter may be set. Allowed values include: leadingEdge, trailingEdge and globalY. Furthermore, it is possible to provide the UID of a spar. |
| Sequence | This is the explicit stringer definition. Please note that for a consistent definition two out of the possible three elements innerBorder (xsiLE, xsiTE), outerBorder (xsiLE, xsiTE) and stringer angle (and angle reference) must be defined. Any combination of two of the three is valid | |
| numberOfStringers | [0, 1] | The number of stringers; default is 0 |
| angle | [0, 1] | Stringer angle: the reference axis for the stringer angle is defined by the two leading edge points of the 'from'- and the 'to'-element of the componentSegment definition. The angle between the reference axis and the stringers equals the rotation around the z-reference axis. For details, please refer to the picture below. |
| angleReference | [0, 1] | If the reference of the stringer angle shall be different from the default implementation then this parameter may be set. Allowed values include: leadingEdge, trailingEdge and globalY. Furthermore, it is possible to provide the UID of a spar. |
| innerBorderXsiLE | [0, 1] | Inner border xsi coordinate at the leading edge of the stringer definition |
| outerBorderXsiLE | [0, 1] | Outer border xsi coordinate at the leading edge of the stringer definition |
| innerBorderXsiTE | [0, 1] | Inner border xsi coordinate at the trailing edge of the stringer definition |
| outerBorderXsiTE | [0, 1] | Outer border xsi coordinate at the trailing edge of the stringer definition |

RemarksWithin the wingStringerType wing stringers are defined. The stringer are defined by referencing on the stringerStructureUID, where the shape and material settings of one single stringer is defined. In addition the orientation and the stringer pitch have to be defined:
One stringer intersects the point at the given xsi and eta position.
Alternatively, an explicit stringer definition can be applied if the stringers shall be tapered.
