Model Generation, Batch Mode

Planar Hull Modelling is normally executed in interactive mode, in the generation phase as well as when the drawing is developed. However, the model generation part of the system may also be run in the background (Hull Model Generation). Certain restrictions pertain regarding the tasks the system can perform in batch mode:

• Hull Model Generation can only generate panels from input schemes that have been prepared before start-up of the system.

• Panels can only be generated as separate units, that means, not in their structural context (for further information about this, see the description of the interactive mode).

(Jumbo panels can also be split into production panels in batch mode which is described in a separate chapter about the handling of jumbo panels.)

When run in the background, Hull Model Generation is started from the Job Launcher.

The name of the default file is SJ011.SBD and it can contain the default values described in Default Planar Hull Modelling File.
