Input

Input to the program is based on the general selection tool and this input is normally generated automatically when activating this function through any of the interactive hull applications via a production program interface. This interface and the selection possibilities are described in Manufacturing, General About the Production Program Interface.

Marking of developed plates is normally made automatically without any manual selection of what to be marked. The IP file of this program controls this.

However, additional curves can be added to the marking process at run-time. If the question "Additional curves to be marked?" is answered by Yes, then the following selection dialog will be shown:

The user can select up to 100 additional curves to participate in the marking process.

Each given curve will result in an additional statement - MARK_CURVE, ’<curve_name>’; - to the input file to the program. Every new run of the program must include the MARK_CURVE statements for those curves to be marked on the plates.

The shell stiffeners will be stored as production objects on the data bank assigned to the logical SBH_PROFDB.
