The standard object for stiffener connections is defined using an ordinary text file in TIL format with statements as specified below:
CON_TYPE, <type> /TIGHT_CODE=<code> /SNIPE_CODE=<code> /OVERLAP_CODE=<code> /DESC=<text>;
PROF_TYPE, <ptype> /TIGHT=<endcut> /SNIPE=<endcut> /OVERLAP_CODE=<endcut>;
|
<type> |
is the connection type and could have any of the values 1, 3, 4 or 5. Connection type 2 is covered within type 1 and is not needed to be defined. <type> shall be given as an integer. |
|
<code> |
is the connection code that shall be used for this type of definition. The connection code shall be given as an integer. For available codes, see Connection Code Definition. |
|
<text> |
is a free descriptive text, currently not used by the system. |
|
<ptype> |
is profile type identified by the AVEVA Marine code for the profile. Given as integer. |
|
<endcut> |
is a complete endcut description with code and parameters. Given as a string. |
The arbitrary stiffener connections format is as specified below:
CON_NAME, <name> /PROFILE='<ptype>' /CON=<code> /CUT='<endcut>';
|
<type> |
is the connection name to be used as a substitute for CON and CUT when defining the stiffener end.. |
|
<code> |
is the connection code that shall be used for this type of definition. The connection code shall be given as an integer. For available codes, see Connection Code Definition. |
|
<ptype> |
is profile type identified by the AVEVA Marine code for the profile. Given as string. |
|
<endcut> |
is a complete endcut description with code and parameters. Given as a string. |
In the schema, instead of using CON=87, CUT=1210,70,35 the connection name MY_TIGHT can be used instead, CON=MY_TIGHT.
STI, PRO=10,16,12, …… CON=MY_TIGHT / CON=15, CUT=1100;
It is possible to combine connection names with standard CON and CUT that means, to have a named connection in one end of the profile and a numerical CON/CUT in the other end.
