Rib Deflections
In the WorldSID model, it is possible to measure deflections and also rotations of some parts. Therefore discrete elements, which have no stiffness, are used. The elements are only used for the purpose of measurement and do not influence the results of the model. The output of these elements is included in the DEFORC file.
