Rules for Adaptation of Endcut Standards

The AVEVA Marine endcut standards consist of a number of built-in endcut types, which may be customized via the endcut table. When the profile endcut is modelled, the desired endcut geometry is defined by the endcut code and some endcut parameters. Sometimes, however, a general rule for adjusting the geometry of an endcut type may be formulated.

Such a rule may override endcut parameters given by the user.

Currently, rules for the following definition purposes are supported:

• Endcut gap on flange of built T-bars depending on the profile height.

• Toe width of flange on T-bars considering web thickness.

• Knuckle angle and flange extension of tapered endcuts considering profile height and endcut parameter "b".

• Endcuts adapted to curvature of parts connected to.

The rules are written in a project specific text file in a simple language based on the TIL format. Before the rules may be used they must be interpreted by a function of the Hull initialization program.

If the syntax in the text file is correct, an object __SBH_ADJUST_ENDCUT__ will be created in OGDB. When this object is available, the geometry of the endcuts may be adjusted according to the defined rules.
