Control Information for Manufacturing Curved Plates

The run mode described in this document is activated by the presence of the default keyword NORMAL_TEMPLATES (see below). The following information is relevant in the default file:

ENGLISH,

This word states, that the language to use in the list of the pin heights is to be English. This word is not mandatory.

DISTTOEDGE, <dist>,

This word states the minimum distance between the outer templates and the base line seams. If the word is left out the distance defaults to 100 mm.

MAXDISTTOTEMPLATE, <dist>,

This word states the maximum distance between the templates. If the word is left out the distance defaults to 3500 mm.

MINHEIGHTOFTEMPLATE, <height>,

This word states the height of the shortest pin. If the word is left out the height defaults to 250 mm.

PINS, [<dist>,]

This word states, that the program shall create a list of the heights of the pin templates. The parameter <dist> is optional and specifies the distance between the pins. If the addition is not given, the distance will default to 250 mm.

FRAMETEMPLATES,

This word states, that the program always shall create frame templates. If this word is given, the next one - NORMAL_TEMPLATES - is not taken into account. Thus, giving this default will inhibit the run mode described in this document.

NORMAL_TEMPLATES, [MANDATORY,]

This word states, that the program is allowed to choose between frame templates and Normal Templates. The transition takes place at the angle 75 degree. If the parameter MANDATORY is given, the program is told to always create Normal Templates.

Remark

This run mode of the template module was originally implemented for Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Company.
