Purpose
To scale the principle ship dimensions
Syntax
|
SCALE ( BEAM= $N ) < DEPTH= $N > |
Description
This ship can be lineary scaled in the X,Y & Z directions by giving the new values for the LBP, BEAM and/or DEPTH. Note that the values in the General Particulars will also be scaled.
A change in the Z-height can be made in terms of DEPTH or Design DRAFT. When using the DRAFT option the system will work out the ratio of change between the old draft and the new draft and this will be used to calculate the new depth.
When scaling a design it should be noted that due to mathematical rounding , curves that were once at convenient whole number intervals may be shifted to less convenient values. Whereas this may be the desired result it may be necessary to re-fit the affected curves.
