compact cross section
I am thinking about a 'cylinder with a compact cross section.'
Good luck!

the 'compact cross section' is the most rigid.
the 'semi compact cross section' is less rigid, wider, more open.
I cannot think now how else to explain it better. Shall give it some more thought.

Note from asker:
| Thanks Lucinda and asptech, I wouldn't have found this myself. What is the description of class 3, then, "semi-compact cross section"? |
