Layout of Control File

The layout of the file is described by an example. The format is rather free but everything that is written in the same line in the example must be so. Maximum line width is 132 characters.

The keyword TYPE is the endcut type as defined in the standards. This keyword starts a "type group" and may occur any number of times.

The text given on the same line as the TYPE keyword is the customer description of the endcut group.

The keyword PROF defines for what profiles types this endcut group is relevant. Any number of profile types can be given but at least one.

The lines following the PROF keyword select a set of endcut codes. Each of these lines starts with an endcut code according to AVEVA Marine standards. It is also possible to set predefined values for the "free" parameters of the endcut (optional). With the keyword "CON" it is possible to define a number of connection codes. Doing this means that the endcut on the current line is the default for the profile type(s) in combination with the connection code(s). Maximum number of connection codes following the "CON" keyword is 20. Use of the keyword "CON" is optional.

Note: The same endcut may appear several times, for example, with different parameters, to be the default for different connections (cf. 1210 in the second "type group" in the example).

The input example above should be interpreted in the following way: when generating a flat bar and using any of the connection codes 5, 10 or 12 the default endcut type for that end is 1102. (However, the designer may select any other endcut at will.)
