Important Restrictions

It is important to understand that when a model object is generated from an input file it will be calculated "from scratch" every time you run the input file. For example: if a shell profile already exists in the data bank the old profile will be deleted before the new one is generated. (However the if the input file fails then the old shell profile and all its shell stiffener will remain in the data bank.)

This has an impact in some situations explained below:

Switching Between Batch and Interactive Generation

Consider the following sequence of operations:

1. Create shell profile via XML input.

2. Modify the profile in interactive Curved Hull.

3. Run the XML input file again.

   The modifications made in interactive Curved Hull are now lost!
