Control on Module Level

The control on module or program level normally takes place via default parameters (sometimes called "ip's") which are gathered in a file (default or ip file), specific to the module. The default parameters are described in the documentation of the module in question.

Normally these Hull default files/ip files must be placed on the directory associated with SB_SHIP. This is explicitly valid for:

• ppanparts

• bendtempl

• cpanparts

• profnest

• matplate

• jigpillar

• platejigs

• mark3axis

• wcog

• Nesting

• PLCM

Therefore, when the name of a default file is given for example, as the value of an environment variables then the full path name shall not be given, only the file name. The rest of the path name will be fetched by the system from SB_SHIP.

The reason for this is that the name of the used default file is often stored in objects. As an example, in Nesting the default file name is stored in the nested plate object. If, for some reason, there is a need to modify the directory structure and thereby give a new name in the environment variable SB_SHIP then the stored file name will still be valid since it is not the full path name.

(For other types of files, such as data files, control files, the full name must be given.)
