Set-up File for Swaging

The swage object is created via an ASCII file with input written in a language based on the general TIL format for interpretative input. The name of this file can be selected arbitrarily (but should have a file extension .dat) and it is read and interpreted by a function of the hull utility inithull. If the input can be interpreted without any errors the result will be a swage object with the given name in the data bank associated with the environment variable SB_OGDB. A list file will be created simultaneously containing the input and explicit error messages, if any.
This list file will be handled as described in the documentation of inithull.
The input format has three different statement types:
|
SWEDGE |
Specifies the name of the swage object. |
|
PROFILE |
Specifies a certain type of swage by a number to be used when modelling swaged panels. It also defines certain parameters controlling the views of the swage. |
|
SIZE |
A certain swage type may occur in several predefined sizes (nominal heights). This statement type specifies a certain size and some data related to that size. |
The structure of the input file is like this:
SWEDGE
PROFILE
SIZE
[SIZE]
