Processes are rule-based and can be customized by each facility.
When you select multiple objects, you can change the properties that those objects have in common. If the value of the property is the same for the objects that you have selected, that value displays in the ribbon bar. If the values are different, the box for that value is blank. Changing the value of a property makes that the value for all of the selected objects.
User Answers
Select a manufacturing member process type from the list. This list is the same as the Process List on the manufacturing member ribbon.
Parameter
Displays the parameters for the process that you have selected.
Value
You can modify the parameter values if necessary.
Rule-Based
If the value of the parameter is rule-based, a check box displays. Clear the check box and then select a different parameter value if necessary.
Catalog Value
If you modified the value, the original catalog value for the process displays.
Process Name |
Comments |
Upside |
The side of the part that is facing up while it is being cut. |
Neutral Axis |
The neutral axis is the dimension at which the member length does not change regardless of its curvature. |
Inverse Bending Line |
Shipyards need to control the inverse bending line process. This process is executed if the member is within the specified curvature limit. |
Weld Tab |
This is processed automatically based on custom rules. These rules can be partially solved by replacing the feature by an alternative representation defined for scallops. |
Coaming Unwrap |
It is required to control coamings unwrap. This is only applicable for member edge reinforcements. |
Clamp |
This is required to allow you to set a certain clamp value on a given face. |
Bevel |
Allows you to select between different methods of setting the bevel deviation angle. This angle determines how a varying bevel is split. |
User Defined Values |
Shipyards can control certain values used during the unfold process of member parts. |
Unfold |
Allows you to not unbend built-up profiles. The web can be cut to shape instead of bent. |
Manufacture as Plate |
If this process is set to apply, then separate plate XML data is generated for the web and each flange. If it is set to ignore, then one set of profile XML data is generated for the entire profile. |
Weld Compensation |
Allows you to select between different methods of computing weld compensation to account for the deformation on manufactured parts (such as builtup profiles, web frame plate, and plates with edge reinforcement), due to welding operations performed on them. If set, a weld compensation object is created for the part with a generalized set of properties that represent weld compensation information. Select the weld compensation object to modify the properties. See Enable and set weld compensation. |
