Restrictions for SZ004

SZ004 is an existing program, designed for a specific task. To fulfil that task,specific input data has to be given to the program, see SZ004 - Creation of Pictures by Extracting Model Data.

In context with the link, defined in this specification, a second use of the program is defined. For this second use, some of the input lacks a meaning and does not have any impact on the link. Naturally, the program still accepts the full syntax, defined in the documentation.

For the conversion of data in this link, some statement types of SZ004 do not have any effect. The statements are of course still valid for SZ004 as such:

Statement CREATE_VIEW:

• The attributes /HIDD and /PROJ are irrelevant.

• The attributes /SLICE1 and /SLICE2 can be used to capture objects within the slice planes, but the objects themselves will not be sliced.

Statement PANEL:

• The attributes /PAN, /STI, /BRA, /ENDCUT, and /CUTOUT are valid, but full material will always be presented.

Statement CURVE:

• Valid.

Statement FAIR:
