Material qualities

The material qualities as defined in the file gewicht.ins in de %NCGNORMS% directory are converted to a Tribon Quality file called material.dat.

Table file

Frame coordinate list, width- and height-grid are translated into a file gentab.dat. This file can be used as input for Tribon to create a table of frame coordinates, longitudinals and transversals.

Hullcurves

For references to the hull shape the file hullcurves.dat is created. This file can be used as input for Tribon to create hullcurves. These curves are used in BOUNDARY statements for the creation of panels. If the tribon_version setting in the configuration file is >0 the BOUNDARY statement uses the SURFACE clause to reference the hull.
