Modifying Corrugated Bulkheads
To modify corrugated bulkheads, select Construction > Plates > Modify > Corrugated Bulkhead and on of the following functions:
-
Corrugated Bulkhead – Modify a corrugated bulkhead as a whole. See Modify a Corrugated Bulkhead.
-
Corrugated Bulkhead Element – Modify a specific element in a corrugated bulkhead. see Modify a Corrugated Bulkhead Element.
-
Convert Corrugated Bulkhead – Convert a corrugated bulkhead to a series of plates connected by knuckles. See Convert a Corrugated Bulkhead to a Series of Plates.
Modify a Corrugated Bulkhead
The properties of a bulkhead can be modified both when a corrugated bulkhead is shown in plan view and in cross-section.
- In plan view, all corrugated bulkhead properties can be modified. See Creating Corrugated Bulkheads.
- In cross-section, all the properties except for the start relation can be modified.
Indicate the corrugated bulkhead, then modify the properties.
Click OK to accept the modification(s). The complete corrugated bulkhead is recalculated.
Modify a Corrugated Bulkhead Element
Use this function when a specific element has properties that deviate from the rest of the corrugated bulkhead. You can re-define each of the properties, or apply the properties of the rest of the corrugated bulkhead to the deviating element.
Indicate the corrugated bulkhead element. The bulkhead elements' properties are shown.
Only the properties shown in the figure above can be modified.
- L2 – size of part which is parallel to the base plate at distance D
- L3 – size of slanted part when projected to the base plate
- L4 – distance between two consecutive corrugations
- D –depth of the corrugation
Select the Use main corrugated bulkhead dimension check box to apply the dimensions defined for the complete corrugated bulkhead, to this specific element.
Click OK to accept the modification(s). The complete corrugated bulkhead is recalculated.
Convert a Corrugated Bulkhead to a Series of Plates
Converts a corrugated bulkhead to a series of plates which are connected by knuckles.
- Indicate the corrugated bulkhead which has to be modified.
- Define the knuckle properties in a similar way as at creating Knuckles.
- Click OK to convert the corrugated bulkhead.
For more information, see Knuckle.
