Settings in the norms

The way specific structural entities such as stiffeners, standard holes, cutouts, and brackets in a NAPA Steel model are converted to CADMATIC Hull structural entities is defined in a number of files in the napa_steel subdirectory of the project's norms directory %NCGNORMS%.

The conversion settings can be done in System Management > Import/Export > NAPA Steel > Connection Settings. The system writes and stores the setting made in System Management in the files described here. It is possible to manually edit the files using a text editor. The changes will then be visible in System Management. The files can also be reused in other projects.
