Bending Template Drawings

The template module produces a number of pictures, some of which are common to all run modes, some specific for certain run modes.

The different types of pictures are:

• A sketch of the plate with its name, the roll axes, lengths of edges, and indications of the positions of the templates (optionally with contour lengths to them). The dimensions of the plate (length-breadth-thickness) are indicated below the plate.

  Sketch of plate with template information

  

  The lines marked with X and XX are the primary and secondary roll axis, respectively.

  Edges marked with X and XX are the basis of the roll axis with the same indication.

• Sketches of the individual templates with inscribed names. One picture is generated for each template.

  Templates and template table

  

  A small table containing the height and width of all templates. Such a table is included in the figure above. For frame templates this table is extended with the distances in the special figure below for set-up of the templates (see below).

• Only for frame templates: A layout sketch for placing of templates upside down, supposing that the workshop floor coincides with the sight plane. This sketch may for example, be used to position the templates to build a mock-up for the plate.

  Special assembly sketch for frame templates

  

  In this view the templates are drawn as follows:

  • A triangle at the end of direction marks of the templates.

  • A perpendicular line that is perpendicular to all the templates and goes through the starting point of template number 1. The line is indicated by the text Perpendicular line.

  • The sight line. The line is indicated by the text Sight line.

  • An angle mark, where the bottom of it is supposed to lie in the assembly plane and the angle shown supposed to be measured on the side of template number 1 towards the other templates.

  • Three rows of integer values. At the template number 1 the upper two rows are missing. The lower row shows the template number.

  • The upper row shows the distance along the perpendicular line for the current template to template number 1.

  • The middle row shows the distance between the start of the current template and the perpendicular line. A positive value means to the right of the perpendicular line seen from template number 1 in the direction to the other templates.

Special run modes may produce certain other figures as described together with the documentation of these run modes.

There are in principle two ways in which the pictures above may be output:

1. If no special set-up is made, the pictures will be handled according the standard routine for receipt pictures from runs via the Production Program Interface.

2. The second option is that certain of the pictures may be output on a predefined drawing form, as described below.

In case (2) two drawings will be output; one formatted and one unformatted. Names of bending template receipt sketches are automatically generated. See also Hull Detailed Design / Manufacturing / Production Program Interface / Automatic Naming of Production Sketches.

In the name specification above <job_No> is the job number of the current job. <plate_No> is a running number, starting in 1. If several plates are treated in the same run <plate_No> will be incremented by one for each new plate.

Conditions to get a formatted receipt drawing are:

• A drawing form with the fixed name TB_BENDTEMPL must exists on the data bank assigned to SBD_STD and it must contain certain control parameters ("$-values") as explained by the table below.

• The IP ONLY_SIMPLE_SKETCH must not have been given in the default file of the template module.

  Rule number ("$ value")	Usage (replaced by / indicating position of)
  1001	User name (fetched from SBB_USER_NAME)
  1002	User telephone number (fetched from SBB_USER_TELEPHONE)
  1006	Scale of drawing
  1007	Drawing name
  1008	Plate name
  1009	Position number
  1012	Block name
  1998	Lower left corner of area to be reserved for plate sketch
  1999	Ditto upper right corner. Rules 1998 and 1999 must be available for a formatted drawing to be created.
  1996	Lower left corner of area the template table (optional)
  1997	Ditto upper right corner
  1994	Lower left corner of area for special frame template sketch (see the Special assembly sketch for frame templates image).
  1995	Ditto upper right corner
  1992	Lower left corner of area for sketch Flexible frame templates, see Example of Listing of Flexible Templates.
  1993	Ditto upper right corner.

The picture below shows a drawing form that may be used. Note that it need not contain all possible $-values.
