Endcodes

The endcodes.dat file defines how NAPA Steel stiffener endcodes are converted to CADMATIC Hull profile endtypes. In NAPA Steel the quantity endcode has to be defined for stiffeners.

These settings can be made in System Management > Import/Export > NAPA Steel > Connection Settings > Endtype Conversion.

Syntax for file content:

NAPA identifier	CADMATIC Hull endcode type number (1st and 2nd endtype)	R-var	value	R-var	value
	CADMATIC Hull endcode type number (3rd and 4th endtype)	R-var	value	R-var	value

File content example:

Current NAPA endcuts and their endcodes:

NAPA endcut	NAPA endcode
NONE	0000
BRACKET	1100
LUGEND	1200
SNIPED	1300
FLANGEBEVEL	1400

Each endcode requires two lines.

The first line consists of the 4 digit NAPA Steel endcode, followed by the type number for the CADMATIC Hull endtype for the 1st or 2nd endtype. After that (optionally) follow the R-variables and their values.
The second line consists of the CADMATIC Hull endtype for the 3rd or 4thd endtype (optionally) followed by the R-variables and their values.

Note: If no conversion is defined for a NAPA endcut/endcode, the default Hull endtype value of 0 (endtype A) is used.

Line 1	0000 3
Line 2	3
Result	If no NAPA endcut is defined (NAPA endcode `NONE`), the Hull endtype 3 (endtype J) for both endtypes 1 or 2, and endtypes 3 or 4.
Note:	Numerical expressions and with mathematical operators + - * / cannot be applied in endcuts to endtypes conversions. This means that calculations cannot be performed. See Numerical expressions in NAPA Steel connection settings.
