Description
When the Profile Sketch and List program draws shell stiffeners, inverse bending sketches are included as a part of the drawing. Some customers do not need the inverse bending sketches. Neither do they need the small additional sketches showing how bent planar stiffeners should be bent.
A new keyword in the SBH_SKETCH_RESTRICTION file with the purpose to suppress inverse bending sketches and sketches of bent planar stiffeners has been implemented.
BENDING_SKETCH=YES/NO
When BENDING_SKETCH is set to NO plotting of inverse bending sketches and sketches of bent planar stiffeners will be turned off. With this setting curved stiffener may be combined with planar stiffeners into one drawing when the keyword COMBINE_PLOTS is set.
On the other hand when BENDING_SKETCH is set to YES or when the keyword is omitted all sketches will be drawn.
Benefits
Flexibility.
Compatibility Constraints
None.
