Shrinkage Info

This function is used to display the shrinkage defined in the modelling of plane panels. The function will highlight all panels in the drawing which have shrinkage defined. If one of these panels are then indicated, the shrinkage for this panel will be shown in detail. The main shrinkage direction is presented as a solid line and the perpendicular direction as a dashed line. For each plate of the panel the shrinkage factors are displayed; perpendicular to the main direction, along the main direction and along the seams. All values in mm/m (millimeter/meter).

The shrinkage of a panel may be defined via a shrinkage object. In this case the name of the shrinkage object must be defined in the default file of Hull Modelling via the default parameter "SHRINK_OBJ".
