Creating a Cranked Longitudinal Bulkhead from the Bay Definitions

Creating a Cranked Longitudinal Bulkhead from the Bay Definitions

The ability to create a cranked longitudinal bulkhead, which fits the bay definitions that have been generated, has been implemented via a very simple command syntax.

To utilize this, two transverse bulkheads are required for the aft and forward boundaries of the longitudinal. Secondly, a number of bay definitions, between these transverses, must be defined.

Note:
Only those bay definitions that are displayed are used in the creation of the longitudinal bulkhead.

The example command syntax:

BAY LBHD "LB1" "TB1" "TB6" /REFLECT

This command will create a longitudinal bulkhead called "LB1", based on all of the (displayed) bay definitions between the transverse bulkheads "TB1" and "TB6". Finally, this longitudinal shall be reflected - this will produce a second, reflected bulkhead, named "LB2", subject to the normal naming rules.

Note:
There is no Graphical User Interface equivalent to this command.

Once created, the longitudinal bulkhead may be edited in the usual ways via the Internal Surface Editor.
