Customer Defined Standard Notches

The system has an option to let a customer define a notch standard of his own that may be used in parallel with the in-built standard. This is done via a special Vitesse trigger with the fixed name _TbhookCustNotch, written in the Python language. A simple version of this hook is delivered along with AVEVA Marine and it is supposed to be extended and added to by the customer, either by extending the hook itself or by calling sub-scripts.

This hook gets as input the notch type and its parameters and is expected to deliver the notch as a contour consisting of lines and arcs together with a status variable. for further information, see documentation within the hook itself, and the on-line documentation Vitesse / Hull where its interface is described.

The contour should be described in a local 2D coordinate system. The origin is the reference point used to position the notch and the rotation to be specified is that of its u-axis. Currently, condition for use of this option is that a Vitesse license is available.
