Layout of Control File

The keyword TYPE is the profile type as defined in the AVEVA Marine standard.

The text on the same line as the TYPE keyword is the customer description of the profile type. This text will appear on a menu when creating stiffeners interactively.

The lines following the TYPE keyword select a number of dimensions for the current profile type. The parameters should be given in the same order as they are entered in modelling input. There is no restriction as to the number of lines selecting profile dimensions.
