The script "hullDefineRawPlates" is supplied with the installation of AVEVA Marine. It offers an alternative way to define the raw materials in the catalogue using a normal ASCII file as input. The contents of the file, keyed in by the user, is described below:
|
plate name |
(max 24 characters) |
|
length |
(real) |
|
width |
(real) |
|
thickness |
(real) |
|
quality |
(max 25 characters) |
|
density |
(real) |
|
charge |
(max 75 characters) |
|
preparation |
(max 25 characters) |
|
purchase information |
(max 25 characters) |
All terms must be given on one line and be separated by a blank or a comma. Strings must be surrounded by ' characters (for example, 'A10' for quality). If a term has been assigned no value, then integers should be given as 0, decimals as 0.0 and strings as ''. There is no restriction on how many plates that can be defined in the text file.
In case only the catalogue is used, not in combination with project material, then special entries needs to be added to handle rest plates. The plates in the catalogue that are used when creating rest plates must be given with a negative length and width.
Below is an example of an input file to create plates in the catalogue:
