System Components

The actual Planar Hull Modelling system consists of three programs, of data banks and of ordinary data files of different kinds as described in the diagram on the last page of this section. The diagram only contains those data banks that are used by the Planar Hull Modelling specific functions. The Drafting functions such as INPUT MODEL, for example, access a number of model data banks.

The box denotes the programs and disc symbols indexed data files. Data banks have a special indication. Sequential data banks are denoted with a tape symbol.

The figure describes only the actual Planar Hull Modelling system including all three programs Planar Hull Modelling, Hull Model Generation and Hull Model Drawings. A number of other programs must be used together with Planar Hull Modelling. They are not covered by this diagram but are listed in Initializations to be Performed before Using Planar Hull Modelling.
