Report Layout List

Lists the report layouts available for the shell frame bending lists. You can add layouts, modify their descriptions, and delete layouts. The actual layout cannot be modified here. Report layouts for shell frame bending lists can be modified in Production > Shellframe Bending List > Report Layout.

  • To add a layout, enter the file name of the layout file, type in a description, and click Add. The file must be present in the project's norms folder.
  • To modify the description, select the layout, type in the new description, and click Modify.
  • To delete a layout, select the layout, and click Delete.

Overlap Steps, Bending Curves

Sets the number of overlap steps for bending line curves.

Distance Curve To Side Profile

This setting affects the height of the shell frame bending line curves in profile sketches. It sets the distance in mm between the starting point of the bending line curve and the profile baseline.

  • The default value is 0. This represents the standard presentation of shell frame bending line curves in profile sketches: A shell frame is presented as one or more bending lines, and the maximum height of the curve(s) is the profile body height * 0.8. A positive value (instead of 0) results in a smaller height of the curve line.

    Note: Do not use a value larger than half of the shell frame height.

  • A negative value has no effect.

See Shell frame bending lines in profile sketches for more information.

Distance Curve Profile Top

This setting affects the height of the shell frame bending line curves in profile sketches. It sets the distance between the top of the bending line curve and the top of the profile (bulb side).

  • The default value is 0. This represents the standard presentation of shell frame bending line curves in profile sketches: A shell frame is presented as one or more bending lines, and the maximum height of the curve(s) is the profile body height * 0.8.

  • When this value is set to a value in the range of −3000...−9998, and Maximum Bending Height is set to a positive value, just one inverse curve line will be shown instead of the standard presentation.

  • When this value is set to −9999 and Maximum Bending Height is set to 9999, the shell frame's curve along the hull shape line will be shown.

Note: A value between −3000 and 0 is interpreted as 0.

See Shell frame bending lines in profile sketches for more information.

Maximum Bending Height

This setting affects how shell frame bending line curves are presented in profile sketches. It sets the free space from the top side of the profile to the bending line curve, and thus limits the maximum height of the curve. The curve height will be limited to the height set here regardless of the values of the Distance Curve to Side Profile and Distance Curve Profile Top settings.

  • The default value is 0. This represents the standard presentation of shell frame bending line curves in profile sketches: A shell frame is presented as one or more bending lines, and the maximum height of the curve is the profile body height * 0.8.

  • When this value is set to a positive value, and Distance Curve Profile Top is set to a negative value in the range of −3000...−9998, just one inverse curve line will be shown instead of the standard presentation.

  • When this value is set to 9999 and Distance Curve Profile Top is set to −9999, the shell frame's curve along the hull shape line will be shown.

See Shell frame bending lines in profile sketches for more information.

Cutout/Bend. Line Presentation

Set the presentation of cutouts and the bend line.

Start At Top Profile

By default, the Shellframe Bending list will always start with the top of the profile (the side with the highest situated position in the ship).

If this setting is disabled, there is no fixed profile side where the list starts.

List Save Name

Define the file name of the output list.

The following fields can be used in the file name:

  • ObjectNumber – The object number of the project.
  • ProjectName – The name of the project.
  • BlockGroup – The group the block is assigned to.
  • BlockName – The name of the block.
  • BlockNumber – The number of the block.
  • Field Separator – The field separator sign. This sign is defined by the Production > Plate Cutting Data > Settings > Field Separator setting.
  • Current Date – The current date.

It is also possible to add text or environment variables (between % signs).
