Compensation for Shell Plate Thickness

Description

For each shell profile, an additional trace is calculated considering the actual surface of shell plates over which the profile extends. This may be important in areas of heavy curvature along the profile trace if the profile and shell plates are located on the same side of the moulded surface, and in particular in areas with thick plates.

In Inithull it is possible to specify per surface whether to compensate for shell plate thickness. This setting is done separately for planar panels and shell profiles.

Benefits

This development means that views will be more accurately drawn and production output such as profile sketches and weight and centre of gravity calculations will be more accurate.

Compatibility Constraints

For a project first created in an earlier AVEVA Marine release, plate thickness options should be setup in inithull before further modelling work is done. Shell profiles must be regenerated before plate thickness is considered. Planar panels must be regenerated if thickness settings for surfaces differ compared to before (i.e. thickness should be considered for some surfaces but not for others).
