Weight Monitoring
GA-filename: The name and path of the GA drawing file. The drawing must
be of type dxf or dwg. Maximum 255 characters.
Shipdesigner: The name of the Ship designer, maximum 50 characters.
Shipyard: The name of the Ship yard, maximum 50 characters.
Design: The name of the design, maximum 255 characters.
Class: The name of the class, maximum 255 characters.
Comment: A comment field, maximum 255 characters.
Frame spacing: Definition of the frame spacing. The syntax is:
DX1#FR1;DX2#FR2;DXn#FRn
Where DXn is the frame spacing from FRn-1 to FRn
FRn is the frame number where the spacing changes, given in the order of
increasing frame numbers
Example 1: A ship with a frame spacing of 0.7 m. up to frame number 10, 0.8
m. up to frame 120 and 0.7 m. further ahead is specified as following:
0.7#10;0.8#120;0.7#
Example 2: A ship with constant frame spacing of e.g. 0,6 m. is specified as
following:
0.6#
If #0 and X=0 are not congruent, this is adjusted by setting
±; where is the distance between X=0
and #0 and is frame spacing defined as above.
Example 3: X=0 resides in AP and #0 is located 0.2 meter ahead of AP
(positive direction towards FP). Frame spacing is as in Example 1.
Frame spacing definition would then be:
+0.2; 0.7#10;0.8#120;0.7#
Coord. ref. point: By entering data for Coord. ref. point and Coord. ref. dir., a
secondary coordinate system is defined. Coord. ref. point is the origin of the
secondary coordinate system:
VCG: Global reference point in z-direction
LCG: Global reference point in x-direction
TCG: Global reference point in y-direction
