Automatic Bevel Definition

The possibility to let the system automatically find which bevel to use is activated via the environment variable SBH_BEVEL_SETS. This is a text file that contains one or several keywords indicating which of the edge types that should activate the automatic bevel definition.

The valid keywords are:

• CUTOUT_SET = <set_no>

• BRACKET_SET = <set_no>

• CLIP_SET = <set_no>

• DOUBLING_SET = <set_no>

• HOLE_SET = <set_no>

• PROF_END_SET = <set_no>

• PROF_TRACE_SET = <set_no>

Where <set_no> is a SET defined in the bevel definition.

If the keyword for a certain edge is defined then the SET must also be defined in the bevel definition to be used in combination with the AUTO_SELECT statement (see Customer Control of Continuously Varying Bevel).

The automatic selection can be overridden by setting the bevel code to minus one (-1) when creating the specific component, for example, if automatic bevel is defined for profile traces and no bevel is to be defined for one profile trace then TBEV should be set to -1.

In the same way it is also possible to override the automatic selection by giving a specific bevel code for example, TBEV=250.

The PROF_END_SET and PROF_TRACE_SET are valid for both planar stiffeners and shell stiffeners.
