Purpose
To input/output selected data to/from the design. This is primarily used to transfer data between designs or to different computers.
Syntax
|
DUMP ( IN ) < /FILE= > ( $F ) |
|
... ( STERN /PROFILE ) |
Description
The command allows the user to output selected items from the design and subsequently read them back into another design or transfer to another AVEVA Marine module.
DUMP IN
This command allows data to be read into the current design. The data will replace any that exists already. The file can either be in Lines DMP format, see below, or for some curve types in IGES 126 format. When reading IGES data, if the /AUTO option is given then Lines will attempt to assign the appropriate curve type to curve curve.
DUMP OUT
The user may output all the stored data by using the /ALL option or select a particular group of items by specifying their type name for example, SECTION for all Sections, PATCH for all Patches.
By using the /ON, /OFF or /BOTH options the user can be more selective about which items in the group are output. Note that /BOTH is the default.
Command Qualifiers
|
None |
The default is to use its own native format for the output. The file is formatted in such a way as to be portable across different computers. The file will be called $F.DMP where $F is specified by the user. In addition, if /ALL or PARTICULARS is selected then a file $F.GPF will be output, this will contain the General Particulars of the ship and can be used as input when creating a new design. |
|
IGES |
The output will be in IGES 126 format. The file will be called $F.IGS where $F is specified by the user. |
|
NURBS |
The output will be to a Design Model file for transfer to other AVEVA Marine modules. The file will be called $F.DML where $F is specified by the user. The optional number $N specifies the layer in the DML to which the data is to stored. The /AXIS option specifies that the design's Axis convention should persist into the DML file. |
|
XYZ |
The output will be a list of coordinates (X,Y,Z) for each curve which define the curves to a given tolerance or to a maximum number of points. If the /NAME qualifier is given, then the curve identifier will be inserted into the output file before the coordinates for each curve. |
