Longitudinal Section 4620 off CL

Longitudinal Section 4620 off CL

You will create a new side view "Long. section 4620 off CL", save it and add the following construction parts to this view:

  • A bracket of type 763 between upper stiffener HP 220 x 10 and deck beam HP 140 x 8 at frame 30;
  • Two brackets of type 762 between stiffener HP 120 x 8 and floor "Bulkhead Fr. 25" at frame 25;
  • A bracket of type 762 between lower stiffener HP 220 x 10 and floor "Bulkhead Fr. 30" at frame 30.

The two brackets also appear within the next two side views "Long. section 5280 off CL" and "Long. section 5940 off CL". Because the best procedure is to copy first these two brackets and afterwards create the side views, you will copy the upper and lower bracket within this training step. During the next two training steps you will create the side views "Long. section 5280 off CL" and "Long. section 5940 off CL".

Overview of actions:

  1. Create new side view "Long. section 4620 off CL"
  2. Save drawing side view "108-4620"
  3. Place standard text "Long. section 4620 off C.L. SB" above view
  4. Save the drawing with a different name by using the 'Save as...' function
  5. Remove the original drawing and rename the new drawing
  6. Create upper bracket "763" between stiffener HP 220 x 10 and deck beam HP 140 x 8 at frame 30
  7. Create lower bracket "762" between stiffener HP 220 x 10 and floor at frame 30
  8. Change location of dimension belonging to the lower bracket
  9. Create upper and lower bracket "762" between stiffener HP 120 x 8 and floor at frame 25
  10. Change location of dimensions belonging to upper and lower brackets
  11. Copy the upper and lower brackets to the positions 5280 off CL  and 5940 off CL

Additional description of actions:

  1. Place standard text "Long. section 4620 off C.L. SB" above view

After the panel has appeared, for Position the value "Last placed" is selected by default. However due to the length limitations of this view being different from the present side views, the alignment of the text will not be perfect.

Please proceed by changing the value for Position into "Interactive".

  1. Save the drawing again by using the 'Save as...' function

Choose Application Button > Save as... and in the panel that appears type "test" for 'File name:' and click the 'Save' button.

  1. Create upper and lower bracket "762" between stiffener HP 120 x 8 and floor at frame 25

Creating upper and lower bracket "762" between stiffener HP 120 x 8 and floor at frame 25 is similar to creating lower bracket "762" between stiffener HP 220 x 10 and floor at frame 30.

  1. Change location of dimensions belonging to upper and lower brackets

Changing the location of the upper and lower bracket dimensions is similar to changing the location of the lower bracket dimension.

  1. Copy the upper and lower brackets to the positions 5280 off CL  and 5940 off CL

Copying the brackets from the current side view to positions 5280 and 5940 off CL is similar to copying the transverse deck beam at FR29 to FR30 with the following properties (make use of the grid for this action):

Create Side View

You will create a new side view "Long. section 4620 off CL".

Please select the Home tab, and take a look at the Create section:

There are four different view types:

  • Top views

  • Side views

  • Cross views

  • Perpendicular views

A new view can be created:

  1. From an empty graphical screen;
  2. When there already is a view on the graphical screen with a different view type from the one which is to be created;
  3. Using the option Drawing Properties.
  4. If you try to create a new view of the same type you currently have at the screen, the panel Extra Hull Lines will be shown:

With this panel no new view can be created, but you can add additional hull lines to your current view.

Let's create the new side view "Long. section 4620 off CL" by selecting the option Side View:

Now you will be presented with the panel Side View:

The new side view is located at 4620 from CL with a value of 4620 for Breadth. You need to check the other default values: with exception of the value for Min. Length, all values are correct. The value for option Min. Length must be changed from "21.5" into 24.5.

At this moment you will not make more side views and therefore you click the Create button to finish the creation of side views. One side view will be created and displayed in the graphical screen.

Tip: Recommendation: Save drawing immediately after creation!

Save Drawing

You will save the created side view "Long. block 4620 off CL".

To save a drawing you have to select the icon Save Drawing in the Drawing section of the Home tab:

After selecting this icon, the panel Save Drawing As is displayed which enables you to enter a drawing name and a description:

The drawing name is made up of two obligatory and two optional parts.

The two obligatory parts are automatically filled in by the system and are as follows:

  • Drawing Gr: indicates the block that the view belongs to;
  • Plane: indicates the position of the drawing plane which in this case is the breadth value "4620";

The optional parts are File name and Description and they are used to provide the view with some additional information by the user. Usually you can ignore them and directly move on to the 'Save' button to save the drawing with the default name.

Remove and Rename Drawings

It is possible to remove and rename drawings in the Open panel and the Save Drawing As panel. This exercise lets you do these two actions. You will first remove the original drawing "108-4620".

Clear the screen by selecting icon Blank Drawing in the Drawing section of the Home tab:

For this exercise you will use the Open panel. Select the original drawing and press hotkey <Del> to delete it. Click Yes to confirm.

Now you will rename the new side view from "108-4620-test" into "108-4620". Select the drawing and while it is highlighted and click it for a second time to edit the file name.

Note: Instead of clicking the highlighted drawing, you can also press hotkey <F2> to edit the file name.

Remove the text "-test" and press <Enter> to confirm the change. Double-click the drawing to open it again.

Create Brackets Type 763

You will make a connection between the upper stiffener HP 220 x 10 in plan view and the deck beam HP 140 x 8 in cross section, located at frame 30. For this connection you will use a bracket of type 763, which can be fitted between a profile in plan view and a profile or plate in section.

Select on the Construction tab the icon Brackets, followed by the icon Brackets in Plan View in the Insert section of the Brackets tab:

Select from panel Insert Brackets in Plan View the bracket type 763:

According to the first hint Indicate profile at position where overlap has to be placed you indicate the upper stiffener HP 220 x 10. Based on the second hint, Indicate profile in section, where bracket stops, you indicate the deck beam HP 140 x 8 at frame 30.

The location of both indication points is illustrated in the figure below:

After defining the bracket relations, the panel Bracket type 763 appears:

According to the sheet, the values for Enter height of bracket and Enter thickness of bracket must be changed into 250 and 9. The default value "140" for Enter the nose length of the bracket is based on the corresponding profile height of the deck beam. Since this bracket doesn't have a flange and will be made of standard material, you click the OK button to continue.

Now you have to choose the type of corner hole and overlap by means of panel Corner hole type / Overlap type:

This panel contains two corner hole types and two overlap types:

  • Corner hole type radius

  • Corner hole type snipe

  • Overlap type parallel

  • Overlap type slanted

Please click the OK button to accept the default selection of Radius and overlap type Parallel.

The upper bracket will be created with part number "0".

Create Brackets Type 762

You will make a connection between the lower stiffener HP 220 x 10 in plan view and the floor in cross section at frame 30. For this connection you will use a bracket of type 762, which can be fitted between a profile in plan view and a profile or plate in section, and which allows the user to specify a gap between this profile or plate in section and the nose of the bracket itself.

Select the icon Brackets in Plan View:

Select from panel Insert Brackets in Plan View the bracket type 762:

According to the first hint Indicate profile at position where overlap has to be placed you indicate the lower stiffener HP 220 x 10. Following the second hint Indicate profile / plate in section, where bracket stops, you indicate the floor "Bulkhead Fr. 30" at frame 30. After defining the bracket relations, the panel Bracket type 762 appears:

According to the sheet, the value for Enter height of bracket must be changed into 350. The presented default value 10 for Enter thickness of bracket is correct. Please accept the presented default values for all other options within this panel by clicking the OK button.

Now you have to select an overlap type by means of panel Overlap type:

Please select overlap type Parallel:

The lower bracket will be created.

Change Location of Bracket Dimension

The position of the lower bracket dimension is not desirable and therefore it should be moved to a better position.

Let's dimension the bracket with use of the Part Labeling function in the Symbols section of the Draw tab:

Now the hint Select item by Point, place Number/Dimension appears. Select the bracket by indicating a point outside of it and now you can drag the dimension to a new position and then proceed to confirm by using the mouse.

You can use hotkey <7> again to turn the dimension text 90° until you have it in the desired position.
