Manufacturing Curved Plates

This module calculates information about Jig pillars for curved shell panels. See the figure below.

The pillars are located in the nodes of a fixed mesh whereby their positions are predefined and their heights are calculated.

Basic data for the calculations are normally curved panels stored in the data bank. It is, however, also possible to build up the curved panel by reference to its bounding seams.

The main results of the system are drawings and sketches of the curved panels supplied with jig information, listings of the calculated jig and a jig object, stored in the data bank.

Imperial units may be used. For information about imperial units, see Basic Features and Concepts / Basic Features / Imperial Units.
