General

Nesting jobs, each consisting of one single plate part, may be nested and output data for the workshop created automatically.

The program will combine a selection of plate parts on a selection of standard plates. The nesting function will place the parts on the smallest possible raw plate.

The selection of plate parts is made in the standard selection form of the Production Program Interface of the Hull system. It is further explained in Manufacturing, General About the Production Program Interface.

The names of the produced nestings are created automatically based on the input from the user. This is further explained in Manufacturing, MDS Hull Nesting, Hull Plate Nesting, Nesting System Application Functions, Functional Overview, NestPPI.
