Dear
Now, I doing my thematic: 'Using Maxsurf Structure to design the fish-ship in FRP material'. But I do not understand the definition of FRP sections. How could I know the thickness of FRP or core form? Does anyone have suggestion? Please help me!
.
Thank a lot
MAXSURF Structure doesn’t display thickness for frame/deck/plate in rendered or gdi mode. MAXSURF Structure is currently orientated more towards metal fabrication, but by using the new “Offset surfaces” command in MAXSURF Modeler, this can assist with modelling the internal skin of a foam-cored model. Thick transverse frames can be modelled by two adjacent frames – will look at the feasibility of adding frame thickness.

For those who wish to build a female mould, you can generate you mould transverse stiffeners as “frames” by adding a box-like surface outside the hull:
