Plate Thickness

The plate thickness settings allow the administrator to define the calculation process for the thickness of the compensating plate.
The Calculation Method drop down list contains the following types of plate thickness calculation:
-
Greater or equal to the gap - The overall thickness of all plates must either fit the gap or overlap it. There must be no remaining gap.
-
Less or equal to the gap - The overall thickness of all plates must never overlap the gap. Plates either fit the gap or some gap remains.
-
Closest to the Gap - There can be either an overlap or a gap remaining, plates of thicknesses are selected so the overall thickness is as close to the gap size as possible.
The Visually Accomodate option can be set to either On or Off using the drop-down list. If there is a gap or overlap, the actual thickness of the top plate can be accommodated so that it fits the gap. This is done by adding an extra design parameter to the plate to alter the height.
