CHAPTER 2 2

General

For the examples in this documentation use project MTP, user MHULLFWD, password MHULLFWD, mdb MHULLFWD

2.1

The Log Viewer

After using the PPI tool to select objects and to submit the desired job, the progress of the job is tracked through the Log Viewer. As well as tracking the job the Log Viewer also allows the user to view the input, view various outputs and also re-submit a previous job. Using the drop down menu you can start any associated applications or batch processes. To view the Log Viewer use the command View>Log Viewer. The system will display a window similar to the one shown below:

When the Log Viewer is first started, batch modelling and hull production programs currently running will appear in the applications list. Each job will be allocated a job id (number) and also the current status of the job will be displayed. Use the cursor to highlight a particular job and the Input and Output parameters window will display the relevant inputs and outputs for that particular job. To open a file, double click on the filename. You may need to modify your system settings to allow it to recognise the file type. Highlight a job, pressing the right-hand mouse button gives the following options: Run again: Allows the same job to be re-submitted with a new job number. Delete: Removes a job that is no longer required, Kill: Terminates a currently running job it, Refresh: This will update the applications list according to the current Settings Use function File>Settings. The following menu will appear: Confirm delete on job files Determines, if the user will have to confirm with a standard 'Yes/No' dialog box when deleting job files from the Log Viewer. Delete output files All output files will be deleted, when the session is closed. Autodelete job files Specifies if job files shall be automatically deleted. If activated, a number of days may be specified in Delete job files older than …. Days, any jobs older than the required range will be deleted.


11


2.2

The Production Program Interface (PPI)

AVEVA Marine hull databases are the central repository for hull information and as such the major source for hull related production information. The extraction of information from these databases can be divided into three steps: 1. Selection of the objects. 2. Initiating and performing the actual task. 3. Output and inspection of the results. The Production Program Interface (PPI) is a standard interface for the common features of the production and reporting functions within the Hull module. The PPI is available in AVEVA Marine Planar Hull Modelling, AVEVA Marine Curved Hull Modelling, AVEVA Marine Structural Design. The PPI is composed of three parts, corresponding to the three steps above:  A general selection tool for model data.  A tool for invoking production and reporting functions via the Log Viewer.  Presentation of graphical results (drawings and receipt pictures). In many cases the PPI will automatically generate the drawing names. A method to control this is supplied.

2.2.1

Object selection

Before starting the PPI a drawing must be current in AVEVA Marine 12, Hull Detailed Design – Planar Modelling or Curved Modelling application session. To start the PPI use the command Hull Tools>PPI Hull or press on the Planar Hull Toolbar. The Production Interface menu will appear as shown opposite. Select Used to invoke the selection tool. Show Used to display the graphical results of a program. The remaining entries of the menu show the different functions supported by the PPI. The majority of these entries are still inactive at this stage because no objects have been selected. As mentioned previously, the first step is to select objects that production information is required for. To start this process, click the 1 Select button. The system will display the following menu:

Block: Select a block(s) with all associated panels. Assembly: Select an assembly(s) with all associated panels. Panel: Select an individual panel(s) Plate: Select an individual plate(s) Profile: Select an individual profile(s). Graphical: Interactive selection of a panel or a view from the current drawing. Use the Options button to toggle between Panel and View. Nested Profile: Select one or more nested profiles. Nested Plate: Select one or more nested plates. Filter: Detailed filtering of the current selection. Only available when a selection has been made. See explanation on next page. List: Lists the objects currently selected. Only available when a selection has been made. Reset: Clears the select list. Only available when a selection has been made.

AVEVA Marine (12.1) Hull Detailed Design - Production Information (TM-2106) Note that the total selection can be built up by combining a number of different selections (with or without filters). Also remember to reset the selection list before making a new selection or the new selection will simply be appended to the existing selection.

2.2.2

Filtering a current selection

If the 7 Filter button shown previously is clicked the following menu will appear: Date Before: Parts created before a certain date. (YYYY-MM-DD) Date Since: Parts created on or since a certain date. (YYYY-MM-DD) Side: Parts valid for All, Portside or Starboard. Quality: Parts with a certain material quality Thickness: Parts with a certain thickness Plane Profile Bracket Profile Shell Profile Straight Profile Curved Profile Not Nested Stiffener Flange Pillar Profile type Profile parameter parameters.

Select by various component types

Profiles of a particular type. Profiles with particular

Exclude Check this box and instead of only using the objects found after the filter, the system will exclude those objects from the current select list. After pressing OK, some of the marked check boxes may activate another menu to allow the specification of more detail.

Once a selection has been made, it will stay as the current selection and it can be used when invoking different production and reporting functions via the Job Launcher. At the same time all alternatives in the Production Interface option menu will become active. When the selection has been completed, click Cancel to exit the current menu. All the buttons are now available and the user can continue with the desired function by clicking the respective button.

2.3

Customer control of production information

It is possible to customise and control the behaviour of the Production Information functions in various ways. As well as controlling the behaviour of the separate programs it is also possible to customise the appearance of the various outputs.

2.3.1

Default and IP files

Control can be administered at program level. In this case it normally takes place via default parameters, sometimes called "ip‟s", which are listed in a .def or .ip file, specific to the program. The default parameters of the various programs are described in the respective chapters of this document.


13


2.3.2

Customer defined objects

Another way of controlling the behaviour of the programs uses files, usually an ASCII-format file, containing information specifying the user‟s rules or standards. These files are then read by the Initialise Hull program and are stored as objects in the hull structure data bank. The names of these files and/or objects are normally assigned to logical names, which are defined in the project file of the current project or in the default file for the relevant program.

2.3.3

Drawings, Sketches and Receipt drawings

If any drawings, sketches or receipt drawings have been created by the Production Information functions, they can be viewed. The Show function in the Production Interface form can be used to display a list of this output in the order of creation. Any output can be selected and temporarily displayed on the screen with additional option to be printed or deleted. Pressing OC will show the next drawing and Quit will return to the original drawing on the screen. Using the button Another databank enables drawings in other data banks to be displayed. After a show of this kind, the original list with “current jobs” can be displayed by pressing the LIST button without giving any filters at all. Drawings generated by the production programs are automatically named. Naming rules are created by system administrator and controlled via file assigned to SBH_DWGNAME_RULES. Databases can be created for the storage of drawings produced using the Hull PPI interface, if these have been set then the drawing can be opened and modified from the relevant database e.g. if a database has been created for weight and centre of gravity drawings and has been referenced in the d065 file, all weight and centre of gravity drawings will be stored in this database. When opening a drawing expand the drop down list for Type, select the database that contains the drawing type to be opened. Select the List button (the List button will change to Open, when a drawing has been selected). Select Open to view the drawing.

2.3.4

Linked documents

All production programs generate links between output sketch, drawing, file and the part.

Double click on link will open linked file, drawing.

2.3.5



Important Information

Note: The process of extracting parts and other automated outputs are generated in “batch mode”, as these are stored directly to the Dabacon db and not to the current session, they‟re not available to the system until a Get Work is instigated, this is automated when Show is selected from the Production interface menu and OK is selected from the prompt (below) or File – Get Work. Save and Unclaim should also be executed before any further processes are run, as locked items will not be processed. Tools>Clean Workspace should also be used between subsequent executions of the Hull PPI Interface tools.

CHAPTER 3 3

Manufacturing Packages

In AVEVA Marine 12, the MBLOCK and MPANEL elements are obsolete and the production parts are stored in manufacturing package elements MANPKG. These elements contain a filter element (MPKGFT) as well as one or more manufacturing package folders (MPKGFL). The rules defined in the MPKGFT elements determine in which manufacturing package the production parts will be stored. Each folder within a manufacturing package has a rule which makes it possible to e.g. store different types of plate parts in different folders.

Examples of rules are: MATCHWILD ( ATTRIB NAMN, ‘F201*’) ATTRIB TYPE EQ ’MPLATE’ ATTRIB TYPECD EQ 91 MATCHWILD ( ATTRIB QUATXT OF FIRST MPLRWI, ’A*’) ATTRIB NAMN OF OWNER INSET( ‘F201’, ‘TEST’) The last rule can be used in a last folder to ensure that there always is a folder to put the production part in. This folder should normally be empty.

3.1

Manufacturing package from PML macro

Manufacturing packages can be created by PML script executed in the Command Window. Example macro source code below: INPUT BEGIN NEW MANPKG /F201 DB MHULLFWD/M_F201 NEW MPKGFT /F201Filter01 MPKGFI (MATCHWILD ( ATTRIB NAMN , 'F201*' )) END NEW MPKGFL /F201PlateParts MPKGFI ( ATTRIB TYPE EQ 'MPLATE' ) NEW MPKGFL /F201PlanarPlates MPKGFI ( ATTRIB TYPECD EQ 91 ) © Copyright 1974 to current year.

CHAPTER 4 4

Plane Parts Generation

This function splits plane panels into their individual plate and profile parts. If the panel has brackets, the bracket plate and any stiffeners on the bracket will be treated in a similar way as the plates and profiles on the panel itself. The plate parts will also be automatically marked at the traces of intersections of brackets, stiffeners and flanges. Any defined edge compensation, weld shrinkage and/or excess will be considered by the function and the split parts will be generated with modified geometry and markings showing excess. The name of the executable of this program is sf416d.



4.1

Plane Part Generation must be run prior to extracting Parts Lists, WCOG, etc as the other PPI programs work against the Parts not the Panels. Therefore if a panel has not been split via Plane Part Generation then it cannot be accessed by the other programs and will therefore not be included in any outputs or calculations. Position numbers should already have been added (to allow easy identification of the parts) see Planar Hull Modelling guide.

Control of the program

The program is controlled by system variables assigned in the project file and the contents of the default file ppanparts.ip located in the SB_SHIP directory. The contents of this file should be the responsibility of the Hull Manager and is therefore covered in the AVEVA Marine Project Administration (Hull) Training Course.



If temporary items are not to be marked, they should be allocated to a separate block e.g. “TEMPS” and the SBH_EXCLUDE_BLOCKS file should include the block TEMPS



For a full list of all possible input parameters in the file, and an explanation for each, please refer to the AVEVA Marine Documentation, Hull Detailed Design, Manufacturing, Manufacturing of Plane Panel Parts, Plane Panel Parts, Set-up of Program, Set-up of the IP file.

4.2

Running the program

To start the function a drawing must be current in AVEVA Marine 12, Hull Detailed Design – Planar Modelling or Curved Modelling. Use the command Hull Tools>PPI Hull. Click the Select button in the Production Interface menu and select the object(s) on which splitting will be performed. After the selection is made, return to the Production Interface menu and click the 3 Plane Part Generation button. Monitor the progress of the job in the Log Viewer and when the job is flagged as terminated the results can be viewed.

4.3

Output

The Plane Parts Generation program generates output in plot and text format.


19


4.3.1

Plot output

The plot output is named ppan__, and is stored in the database assigned by the variable SBH_PPART_DWG To view the plot output during the current session of the application use the following command, Hull Tools>PPI Hull>Show. The system will display the window shown opposite: Select the relevant job name, click the Open button to view it. The output can be viewed as a drawing by selecting File>Open, then selecting Type: Hull Planar Part Drawing, using a wildcard in the Name box will allow all planar part drawings to be listed.

4.3.1.1 Example of plot output Although only one job file is produced this will contain a plot of each plate part generated by the splitting program.

As can be seen above opposite the plot contains the following information:     

Position Number Thickness Steel Quality Bevel Information (bevel code) Marking information (stiffeners, panels, GSD triangles)

4.3.1.2 Text output Three text files should be produced as a result of running the Plane Parts Generation program. All three files should appear in the SB_SHIPPRINT directory of the current project. The three files can be opened by double clicking them in the Log Viewer. stdout_.txt File contains information regarding the execution of the program. ppanparts0__.log Contains information regarding the systems interpretation of the objects selected as input to the program. ppanparts1__.lst Typically the list will contain the following information for each of the split panels:  The system internal name of all the parts extracted.  Information regarding material and quality for each of the extracted parts.  Information regarding the marking for the plate parts. (Disabled if IP NOMARKLIST, is defined in the program default file) The above information will be included for each part, whether it is a new part or if it already existed on the database. If the part did already exist on the database an additional note will be included informing if the part has changed from the previously stored one or alternatively informing that the part has not been stored

CHAPTER 5 5

Parts List

This program is used to produce parts lists based on a selection of data made in the PPI. The program actually reads the parts from the plate and profile databases therefore the parts to be listed must have been processed through the Plane Parts Generation or Curved Parts Generation program. If the planar/curved panels have not been split then nothing will appear in the parts list. The name of the executable for this program is sf101d.

5.1 5.1.1

Control of the program Part names

The part names allocated to each part are controlled by the object __TB_PARTNAME_CTRL__ in the SB_OGDB. Therefore this object must exist before running the Parts List program. The creation of this object is considered the responsibility of the Hull Manager and is therefore covered in the AVEVA Marine Project Administration (Hull) Training Course. Also please note that if the __TB_PARTNAME_CTRL__ object is using positions numbers in the final part name then position numbers have to have been allocated to the relevant parts.

5.1.2

Sketches

For the system to produce sketches the necessary drawing forms must exist in the SBD_STD. These drawing forms should be named as follows: TB_PARTLIST_1 TB_PARTLIST_2

TB_PROFLIST_1 TB_PROFLIST_2



Drawing form for the plate parts list. Optional drawing form for the plate parts list. If defined, then this form will be used for pages two and following pages. Drawing form TB_PARTLIST_1 will be used for page one. Drawing form for the profile parts list. Optional drawing form for the profile parts list. If defined, then this form will be used for pages two and following pages. Drawing form TB_PROFLIST_1 will be used for page one.

For a full list of available drawing form rules to customize the drawing forms please refer to AVEVA Marine Documentation, Hull Detailed Design, Miscellaneous Functions, Parts Lists, Output Drawings, Drawing Form Rules

7.2


7.2.1

Control of text output

Two text files one assigned to SBH_PROF_RESTRICT, the other assigned to SBH_SKETCH_RESTRICT control the performance and output from the program. It is considered the task of the Hull Manager to control these files and they are therefore covered in the Project Administration (Hull) Training Course. However a number of settings within these files are critical, and must be set otherwise no output will be produced from this program. In the file assigned to SBH_PROF_RESTRICT the following settings are critical: 

PSKETCH=YES

Must appear if profile sketches are to be produced.



MANSTIFF=YES

Must appear if profile-manufacturing lists are to be produced



MANSTIFF_CSV=YES

Must appear if profile-manufacturing lists are to be produced in comma separated value format.

Optional keyword introduced in AVEVA Marine 12 product: SKIPHOLE_DIST - Holes that are too close to profile bottom edge to manufacture automatically can be skipped on the profile sketch, generic files and manufacturing lists.

7.2.2

Sketch settings

In the file assigned to SBH_SKETCH_RESTRICT the following settings are critical: 

FORM_NAME=PSKETCH_STRAIGHT The name of the drawing form to be used for straight planar profiles. In this case the drawing form is called PSKETCH_STRAIGHT and this drawing form must exist in the SBD_STD database.



FORM_NAME_CURVED=PSKETCH_CURVED2 The name of the drawing form to be used for curved planar profiles. In this case the drawing form is called PSKETCH_CURVED2 and this drawing form must exist in the SBD_STD database.

CHAPTER 8 8

Profile Nesting

8.1

Description

The Profile Nesting program takes the profiles from the SBH_PROFDB and nests them into user define raw profiles. The system tries to nest them in such a way that the amount of scrap will be as small as possible. The program will attempt to nest the longest remaining profile part into the shortest raw profile possible. When this is done, it will continue to add profile parts using this method, until there is no profile part that can be added due to the fact that the remaining part of the raw profile is too short. This optimisation of the nesting can take into account the end cuts of the profile parts if desired. The profile nest will then be stored in the data bank and the program will continue with the remaining profile parts and raw profiles. The name of the executable of this program is sf605d.

8.2


The Profile Nesting program is controlled by the contents of the file assigned to SBH_PROF_RESTRICT. Amongst other things this file controls:    

the gap between profile part and profile part within a nest, the gap between profile part and raw material ends, if the profile‟s endcuts should be utilised during the nesting process, etc, etc.

The set-up and maintenance of this file is considered to be a task for the Hull Manager and is therefore covered in the Project Administration (Hull) Training Course. As well as the above file controlling the nesting of the profiles another file assigned to SBH_RAW_PROFILES informs the system of the available raw profiles into which the profile parts should be nested.

CHAPTER 9 9 9.1

Profile Cutting Description

The profile cutting interface option is used to generate fabrication data for profiles, such as lists, sketches and generic data for cutting robots. The robot controllers and/or robot programming languages must have the possibility to read the generic interface format, which is output. The outputs from the Profile Cutting program are very similar to those produced by the Profile Sketch and List program. The main difference is that the Profile Sketch and List program is ran against a profile in the model, while the Profile Cutting program is ran against a profile nest. Due to this the generic and mounting files produced can be used by external robotic systems to fully automate the cutting of profiles. The name of the executable of this program is sf609d.

9.2


The Profile Cutting program is controlled by the contents of the file assigned to SBH_PROF_RESTRICT. The set-up and maintenance of this file is considered to be a task for the Hull Manager and is therefore covered in the Project Administration (Hull) Training Course.

CHAPTER 12 12 Bending templates 12.1 Traditional bending templates - Description While producing shell plates with curvature, it is usual to have some form of templates. This program produces a series of bending templates to aid the rolling and forming of shell plates. A typical bending template arrangement is shown below:

As can be seen above each template will have a sight-line mark. When the shell plate has the correct form, all of the sight-line marks lay on a same line. Furthermore, all the upper edges of the templates will lie on the same plane. In order to place the templates correctly on the shell plate, each template has a direction mark and a pair of set-square placing marks. The direction mark of the template and a similar mark on the marking sketch define the direction of the template. The program has a series of in-built defaults regarding the positioning of the templates, however the template positioning can be completely user defined and this will be discussed later in the chapter. After running the program the resulting templates are stored in the SB_PLDB as plate parts. They are stored with the name of the curved plate and an appended running number. These templates can be accessed by the nesting system and manufactured to a high degree of accuracy to aid in the precision shaping of the curved plates. As well as producing the template plate parts the program also produces text and sketch output to facilitate the accurate positioning of the templates onto the curved plate. Once the templates have been created the marking line for them can be added to the curved plate by running the Curved Plate Generation program with the input parameter MARK_TEMPL, set. The name of the executable of this program is sf820d.


61


12.2 Control of the program 12.2.1 Configuration file The program is controlled by system variables assigned in the project file and the contents of the default file bendtempl.ip located in the SB_SHIP directory.



Bending template information can be added when the plates are created or modified using Curved Hull, by selecting the PPI info button on the Shell Plate form and adding the required data to the input form. Any bending template defined at plate level will take precedence over the bendtemp.ip file

An extract of possible input parameters for the bendtempl.ip file are shown below: DISTTOEDGE,50, This parameter controls the distance between the first template and the corresponding edge of the plate. If missing it is set to 100mm. This parameter is also valid for the positioning of the last template. MAXDISTTOTEMPLATE,2000, Maximum allowable distance between two adjacent templates. If not given the default value is 3500mm. MINHEIGHTOFTEMPLATE,200, Minimum allowable height of a template. If not given the default value is 250mm. PINS,100, If the parameter is given, the program will calculate and list heights for adjustable pin templates. The value given will be the distance between the pins. If not given the default value is 200 mm. SIGHTLINEMARK,0.3, This parameter controls the position of the sight line mark on the first template. It should be given as a factor in the range of 0-1. If not given the default value is 0.25. FRAMETEMPLATES, If this parameter is given the templates will be calculated with their planes perpendicular to the X-axis at frame positions. AUTO_TEMPL_SIDE, When ‘Automatic’ is used as the option for producing templates, one of the following must be assigned: INSIDE, OUTSIDE, CONCAVE or CONVEX (If not assigned INSIDE will be used as default).



For a full list of all possible input parameters in the file, and an explanation for each, please refer to the AVEVA Marine Documentation, Hull Detailed Design, Manufacturing, Curved Plates, Bending Templates for Shell Plates, Running Environment, Control Information.

12.2.2 Sketch Configuration The output from the program consists of two sketches for each plate. One of the sketches is a formatted drawing and therefore requires a drawing form named TB_BENDTEMPL to exist in the SBD_STD. Another prerequisite for the output of the formatted drawing is that the input parameter ONLY_SIMPLE_SKETCH must not have been given in the default file.



For a full list of all possible drawing rules and an explanation for each, please refer to the AVEVA Marine Documentation, Hull Detailed Design, Manufacturing, Curved Plates, Bending Templates for Shell Plates, Output, Drawings.

12.2.3 Running the program The program can be run against an individual curved plate or multiple curved plates, i.e. usually all the curved plates associated with a curved panel. The options available to the user vary depending on the type of run being performed. If run against multiple curved plates then the template positions are read from the bendtempl.ip file and the same arrangement is applied to each individual curved plate. If the run is against a single curved plate then

AVEVA Marine (12.1) Hull Detailed Design - Production Information (TM-2106) the user can select the manual positioning option and key in lengths along a selected plate edge to position the templates. This option is not available if a curved panel has been selected.

12.2.4 Automatic positioning To start the function a drawing must be current in AVEVA Marine 12, Hull Detailed Design – Planar Modelling or Curved Modelling application. Use the command Hull Tools>PPI Hull. Click the Select button in the Production Interface menu and select the curved plates/panels to be processed. After the selection is made, return to the Production Interface menu and press Bending Templates and Jigs. The following menu will appear:

Click Bending Templates, another menu is displayed:

Click No

The following menu will appear: The default for the template location will be taken from the value assigned to AUTO_TEMPL_SIDE, when Automatic is selected, this may be changed to Inside or Outside from the drop down list. In calculation of outer templates no plate thickness is considered. The line of the template (frame plane, waterline plane, or buttock plane) can be defined as well as the direction of the template e.g. along the aforementioned plane or perpendicular to the surface. The templates are normally positioned automatically on the selected plates. The orientation and position of the templates may also be controlled by the default file (FRAMETEMPLATES, etc.) or by defining the template plane by selection Define template (and sight) plane. The addition PERP will cause the sight plane to be "parallel" to the axis, i.e. it will not intersect the axis. The sight plane and the template planes will thus be perpendicular to each other. This will cause the templates to be larger than if the sight plane is placed as close as possible to the curved plate. The Number of templates may be determined in different ways. If FRAMETEMPLATES is entered in the default file, then the number of templates is given by the number of frame positions within the plate. For other template types the number may be entered in the form above. If not entered in this form, the number will be determined by the values assigned to MIN_TEMPLATES or MAXDISTTOTEMPLATE in the default file. When running the program for multiple curved plates the Manual positioning check box should not be checked.


63

AVEVA Marine (12.1) Hull Detailed Design - Production Information (TM-2106) If it is necessary to create new templates and keep previously defined, check box Keep old templates should be checked.

Both inner and cross templates are always perpendicular to the base plane. All inner templates are modelled in parallel planes at a constant distance and this is also valid for cross templates. Inner templates are always set perpendicular to cross templates. The positions of the templates, inner as well as cross templates, are calculated automatically. Example of cross bending template presented below:

12.4 Cross Bending Templates - Control of the program 12.4.1 Configuration file The program is controlled by system variables assigned in the project file and the contents of the default file bendtempl.ip located in the SB_SHIP directory as used by traditional bending templates.



Bending template information can be added when the plates are created or modified using Curved Hull, by selecting the PPI info button on the Shell Plate form and adding the required data to the input form. Any bending template defined at plate level will take precedence over the bendtemp.ip file

Cross bending templates are controlled by bendtempl.ip and the parameters are the same as those used for one direction templates. Additional parameters are presented below: SPLIT_PLATEEDGE_NO, , In case the shell plate has three edges, one of the edges must be logically split in two parts before it can be processed by the program to make cross bending templates. Parameter should be in the range 1-3 corresponding to edges with these numbers. If omitted the default is 1. SPLIT_PLATEEDGE_RATIO, , Optionally used together with SPLIT_PLATEEDGE_NO. This IP instructs the program where to logically split one of the edges of a shell plate with three edges. should be in the range 0.00-1.00 and if the IP is omitted the default is 0.50.

CHAPTER 13 13 Jig Pillars 13.1 Description This module calculates information about Jig pillars for curved shell panels. The pillars are located in the nodes of a fixed mesh i.e. their positions are predefined and their heights are calculated. Basic data for the calculations are normally curved panels stored in the data bank. It is, however, also possible to build up the curved panel by reference to its bounding seams. The main results of the system are drawings and sketches of the curved panels supplied with jig information, listings of the calculated jig pillars and a jig object, stored in the data bank.

13.2 Control of the program 13.2.1 Configuration file The program is controlled by system variables assigned in the project file and the contents of the default file jigpillar.ip located in the SB_SHIP directory. An extract of possible input parameters for the jigpillar.ip file are shown below: TRUE_SURFACE,

If this parameter is given, the jig calculation takes into account the actual plate thickness of a curved panel when creating the jig row curves. This parameter is only valid if the jig pillar program is being run against a curved panel, if a seam arrangement has been used as input then this parameter is void.

NOPILLHEIGHT,

If this parameter is given, the jig pillar heights will not be drawn in the jig plan sketch

NOSEAMPILLHEIGHT,

If this parameter is given, the jig pillar heights at seams will not be drawn in the jig pillar sketch.

PILLARDISTANCE,750,

Denotes the distance between the jig pillars within each row. If the parameter is not given it will be set to 1000mm by the program.

AUTOMATIC_ASSEMBLY_PLANE, , By this ip the method for calculating the assembly plane can be affected. must be set to either CORNER or MIDPOINT. If set to CORNER, the assembly plane will be calculated so that the corner points of the panel will be as horizontal as possible. If set to MIDPOINT, the assembly plane will be calculated so that the midpoints of the boundary seams of the panel are as horizontal as possible. If the ip is not given, CORNER is assumed. JIGRADIUS, ,

denotes the jig pillar top radius. This will affect the calculated height the pillar.

MEASURES,

If this ip is given, the distances between the panel corners and the closest jig pillars are output in the jig plan sketch.

MINHEIGHT, ,

If this ip is given, defines the minimum distance between the assembly plane and the panel. If the ip is not given, 1000mm is assumed.



For a full list of all possible parameters and an explanation for each, please refer to the AVAVA Marine Documentation, Hull Detailed Design, Manufacturing, Curved Plates, Generation of Jig Pillars, Control Information.

CHAPTER 16 16 Paint Areas 16.1 Description This module will produce paint areas based on the contents of an input file.



Note: The plate parts should have been extracted using plane part generation prior to executing paint areas. The input file can be created using one of two different methods. The definition of limits can be done via picking in ordinary 2D views or in 3D pictures. If 2D views are used, normally two different views are required to define all the limits of a room. Selection Method:  (Default) Selecting interactively panels to be included in the input file.  By keying the name of the panels. (Use the OPTIONS button to switch between selecting and keying).  All panels in the view.  All panels belonging to the same block and view.  All panels with same assembly name. After completion of selection an EXCLUDE option is available to remove panels from the input file. Rooms with complex limits:  By default, the complex limit is defined by an interactive identification of the panels constituting the limit. If a part of the complex limit is a principal plane, general plane or a curve OPTIONS will give the user the opportunity to switch to the proper type.



A full list of selection options when creating an input file are available in the AVEVA Marine User Guide, Hull Detailed Design, Planar Modelling, User‟s Guide, Interactive Planar Hull Modelling Functions, Hull Tools, Painting Areas, Create Input The output is controlled by the contents of the default file.
