 Sequence | ||
 Choice | ||
 startCurvePoint | Start of the rib by a point on a reference curve, such as a spar, but not an explicit sparPosition | |
| startEtaXsiPoint | Start of the rib defined in eta-xsi coordinates of a reference plane | |
| startSparPositionUID | Location of the beginning of the rib using a specific sparPosition | |
| Choice | ||
| endCurvePoint | End of the rib defined by a point on a reference curve such as a spar, but not an explicit sparPosition | |
| endEtaXsiPoint | End of the rib defined in eta-xsi coordinates of a reference plane | |
| endSparPositionUID | Location of the end of the rib using a specific sparPosition | |
| ribStart | Forward beginning of the ribs. It can either be a sparUID or "trailingEdge" or "leadingEdge". | |
| ribEnd | Backward ending of the ribs. It can either be a sparUID or "trailingEdge" or "leadingEdge". | |
| Choice | ||
| numberOfRibs | Number of ribs in this ribSet. First rib is at etaStart on the referenceLine, last rib is at etaEnd. The spacing is constant on the ribReferenceLine. | |
| spacing | The spacing of the ribs defines the distance between two ribs, measured on the ribReferenceLine. First rib is placed at etaStart. | |
| ribReference | The ribReference is the reference line for the computation of the rib set spacing. It can either be a sparUID or "trailingEdge" or "leadingEdge" | |
| ribCrossingBehaviour | Behaviour of the ribs when crossing other structural elements | |
| ribRotation | Rotation |
