Default File of Structural Design

The Structural Design module can to some respect be controlled by a number of default parameters. These parameters should be defined in a file named sj700.sbd and are described in this chapter.

Note: The default parameters defined for Planar Modelling and Curved Modelling are also relevant for Structural Design.

As for all other interactive Marine modules the general default file given by the environment variable SBD_DEF1 is valid. If a file named SBD_ED.DEF exists in the directory given by SBGD this file will be used instead of the one given by SBD_DEF1. This default file is described in User Guide Marine Drafting / Operator’s Instructions / Defaults.

PROD_PAN_VIEW

Relevant only in a multi-view project. If set, the system starts in production view mode. If not set the system starts in design view mode for a multi-view project.

MIN_PLA_WIDTH = <width>

Minimum panel plate strip width used when cutting a panel in two. If the cut would give a plate strip narrower than the given value, no cut is made. If not given the value 50 mm will be used.

MIN_STI_LENGTH = <length>

Minimum stiffener length used when cutting a panel in two. If the cut would give a stiffener shorter than the given value, the stiffener is not divided. If not given the value 100 mm will be used.

PAN_SPLIT_ECUT_FLATBAR = <endcut>, <endcut>, …

PAN_SPLIT_ECUT_BULB_LBAR = <endcut>, <endcut>, …

PAN_SPLIT_ECUT_TBAR = <endcut>, <endcut>, …

PAN_SPLIT_ECUT_BUILT_TBAR = <endcut>, <endcut>, …

Additional endcut types used when defining stiffener offsets in Block Division (see Block Division).

BLOCK_DIV_SSTI_OVER = <dist>

Shell Stiffener Overlap used in Block Division of Curved Panels. This will move the cutting plane to make Shell Stiffeners to be cut at a distance from the edge of the Curved Panel. If not defined, -50 mm will be used.
