If YES there is a warning given from profgen if the profile is outside restrictions. Default value is NO.

CHECK_HULLMOD=YES/NO

Same as above but for Hull Modelling.

CHECK_STRUCTURE = YES/NO

Same as above but for structure.

CHECK_CURVMOD = YES/NO

Same as above but for Curved Hull Modelling.

CHECK_PROFPART = YES/NO

KERF_COMP=<mm>

The size of the kerf compensation in mm. Default value is 0.

COMMON_CUT=YES/NO

Information to the system whether common cut between profiles are allowed or not. Default value is 0.

MIN_DIST=<mm>

Minimum distance in mm between profiles or between profile and raw material edge. Default value is 0.

MIN_DIST_RBENDS=<mm>

If greater than zero, the value is interpreted as the minimum distance from the first endcut on the first profile and the last endcut on the last profile. Default value is -1.

If not greater than zero, the MIN_DIST value is used.

USE_ENDCUT=YES/NO

Information to the system whether the scrap material produced when cutting an endcut, shall be possible to use for nesting. Default value is 0.

PRESENT_RIGHT=YES/NO

If yes, the result from the nesting will be presented from right to left on the raw bar. The individual profiles will be pushed to the right end of the raw bar leaving scrap, if any in the left end. Default value is NO.

BEFORE_BENDING=YES/NO

Measuring of holes along a shell profile is presented in the fabrication list of profiles. Measuring can be done before (YES) bending or after (NO) bending. The default value is NO.

LENGTH_IN_LIST=MOULDED/MOULDED_EXCESS/TOTAL

The length of a profile is presented in the fabrication list for profiles. The presented length is presented either as the moulded length (MOULDED), the total length (TOTAL) or the moulded length plus any excess values (MOULDED_EXCESS). Default value is MOULDED.

Note: For curved profiles, MOULDED should be read as the moulded trace length of the profile transferred to the neutral axis of profile.

MANSTIFF_ECUT=FULL/TYPE

The endcut is either presented with the code (FULL) or the type (TYPE) in the fabrication list for profiles. Default value is TYPE.

MANSTIFF_WEIGHT=YES/NO

The approximate weight (not considering endcut and holes) can be presented in the fabrication list for profiles. Default value is NO.

NEST_AS_SORTED=YES/NO

This keyword is to be used if nesting shall be done exactly in the same order as given in input. Default is NO.

IDENT_STRING=<customization of IDENT STRING>

The following keywords in the generic file can be used in the IDENT_STRING:

All keywords are given within the signs < and > and they shall be given in capital letters. All text outside these signs is not translated in any way, but simply transferred to the resulting IDENT string of the generic format

The example below is illustrating the use of this option:

IDENT_MAN=<number>

The standard fabrication list for profiles generated via the generic format contains a row for each profile with lowest existing assembly. This is possible to change to a row with the IDENT string instead. Assembly string is selected by giving the number 1 (default), the ident string is selected by giving number 2 and by giving 0, no row at all will be printed.

The possibility to select assembly is kept for compatibility reasons, since the ident sting can be customized to contain this.

IDENT_PLOT=<number>

The Nested Profile sketch program is marking the profiles in their left end with a text in case the program is not setup with a drawing form containing $ rules. This text is by default either customer specific or strings containing ship number, long part name, direction and side of ship.

If <number> equals 0 then no text is presented. If <number> equals 1 (default) the default text is used and if <number> equals 2 then the IDENT string is used.

MANSTIFF_ONE_LIST=DEFAULT/BLOCK/ASS

The absence of this keyword will result in individual Manstiff lists for each different profile type and dimension. The file is named as the first selected profile of this type.

Using this keyword, will combine all Manstiff lists from a Profile List and Sketch session into one list file. The naming of this file will be made according to the keyword value:

This keyword is not valid when presenting Manstiff lists for nested profiles (using the Profile Cutting Interface). In this case each nested profile will generate a separate list file
