External Cutout Definition Facility

The External Cutout Definition Facility contains ‘templates’ for a number of typical cutouts some of which are used by virtually all shipyards. Each customer can easily create his own ‘instances’ of these cutouts with radii, clearances, in accordance with his need and practice.

The ‘templates’ have reserved numbers but the customer instantiation can be made using arbitrarily selected user numbers.

The cutouts will always and automatically consider the fact that the angle between web and flange may not always be 90 degrees depending on the orientation of the penetrating profile relative to the plate.
