Notches in Plates

<notch_designation>

is the standard notch designation.

<notch_designation>::=

<string>

Example:

R75

<notch_name>

is the name of an arbitrary notch existing as a curve in the data bank or created by a curve statement. If no position is defined it is supposed to be described in its wanted position directly according to the given coordinates.

<notch_name>::=<name>

MIRR

means that the notch should be reflected in its v-axis. Irrelevant for standard notches.

<symmetry>

Normally notches on a symmetric panel are supposed to be valid both portside and starboard.

However, it is possible to indicate that a notch should be used portside only or starboard only. This clause is relevant on a symmetric panel ("SBPS panel") only.

<symmetry>::= P | S

• P means portside specific,

• S means starboard specific.

Note: May not be set in knuckled subpanels.

COMMENT

An arbitrary comment string.

FIC

Giving this keyword means that the generated notch will not be considered as a notch in splitting. The notch will rather be treated as a marking contour.
