Surface Treatment Set-up

Hull allows the user to specify surface treatment of different types of parts such as plates, brackets, stiffeners, flanges and pillars. The values given must be registered by the customer on beforehand as specified below. The intention is to define the type of treatment of the parts before the production phase. However, the user is free to use it as he likes.

The user has the possibility to set surface treatment in different hull modelling modules. A given value will be accepted only if it has been registered in a set-up file otherwise an error message will be returned.

For plate parts in general the surface treatment will be transferred to the plate parts after parts extraction. The surface treatment can be accessed for example, via Data Extraction.

For plane panel profiles, as well as for shell profiles, the surface treatment will be transferred to the split profile parts (if necessary assignments are made).
