Example 1:
Const CeilingHeight 3.4
Example 2:
Const FloorLevel 1
Const CeilingHeight FloorLevel+3
Example 3:
Const FloorHeight 1
Const Length 6
Const CeilingHeight FloorLevel+Length*TanD(30)
Defining and reassigning variables
The definition of variables must follow the syntax:
Var
Example 1; defining the variable FloorLevel:
Var
FloorLevel
Example 2; defining the variable FloorLevel and assigning the initial value 0:
Var FloorLevel 0
Example 3; reassigning a variable /adding 1 metre to the FloorLevel:
FloorLevel FloorLevel+1
Remark: The predefined variable NumbOffSet may be used like any other variable, but has a
special meaning because it offsets point and surface numbering. This variable is useful if
copying a part of a geometry from another geometry file, it is also useful in connection with
the for..end statements. Auto can also be assigned to NumbOffSet, in doing so ODEON will
automatically increment the value of NumbOffSet to be greater than any point and surface
number previously defined. This has the advantage that repeated point and surface numbers
can easily be avoided without having to keep track on the numbers used - the drawback is
that slight changes in the geometry file may change numbers on many subsequent surfaces,
ruining the relationship between surface numbers and the material assigned to that surface
inside the ODEON program. The Auto option is very useful in combination with loop
constructions (see description of the for..end constructs later on). Typing PtAbsRef after the value
assigned to NumbOffSet forces absolute number references for points while using the specified
offset on the numbers of surfaces – this is explained later.
Example on the use of NumbOffSet; creating surface 101 containing the points 101 to 104 and
surface 201 containing the points 201 to 204:
