Generation of the Model

The smallest part of the model that can be separately stored is the panel.

Even if a panel is always stored as a separate piece of information, it can also be generated in its context, for example, in the web frame it is part of. In the generation phase, reference can be made - also interactively - to the surrounding curves or panels and the picture of the panel may be added to, for instance, the web-frame.

Model generation can be executed in both background mode as well as in interactive mode.

Like some other AVEVA Marine systems, Planar Hull Modelling optionally uses the technique with a design language to describe the model. Input written in this language is divided into units called input schemes, which are stored in ordinary text files.

A detailed description of the design language is given in About the Design Language.
