Input to the system is written by the user, using a input language based on Interactive Language. The actual nesting is performed by the user via this input. The data to be given are the name of the nesting (DNC-ID), the name of raw plate and the developed parts to be nested.
The plates to be nested (developed or planar) are selected via the standard selection tool of Hull. The possibilities of this tool are described in Manufacturing, Hull Production Program Interface, General Selection Tool.
The names of the produced nestings are created automatically based on the input from the user. This is further explained in Nest PPI.
The part statement can have an attribute attached, with values /PS, /SB or /BOTH. If not given, /BOTH is assumed. Below is given an example:

Example: |
|---|
|
CREATE_NEST, '521399'; |
A nesting can also be recreated. The input file is used to select a previously generated nest. The developed part names and raw plate name are fetched from the nest and the nesting process is re-activated with this data. All result files are produced in the same way as for normal nesting. The following input is needed to recreate a nesting with name 521399:
RECREATE_NEST, '521399';
The input syntax is defined in the file D0320147.SBD which must be available on SB_SYSTEM.
