Bevel Definition File

The bevel definitions are made by writing input in an ordinary text file in a special syntax, described in detail in following paragraphs.

The input text file is "compiled" into an object named "__SBH_BEVEL_CTRL__" by a function of the utility inithull. This object is stored on the data bank assigned to the environment variable SB_OGDB and will be read into the application programs when used.

The AVEVA Marine bevel handling is activated by assignment of the environment variable SBH_BEVEL_CTRL. Suppose that it has been assigned the following value:

n:\usr\projdir\bevel_def

Then the total file specification of the input file is formed by adding the file extension.dat, that means,

n:\usr\projdir\bevel_def.dat

As the result of the compilation there will also be a receipt listing the name of which is formed by adding the file extension .lst, that means,

n:\usr\projdir\bevel_def.lst

In addition to a print-out of the input this list may contain error messages.

The extended bevel handling is activated by the existence of this object on the data bank.
