2NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL Version 5.2 05/2007

1 Basic Training Course

1.1 Introduction 'Basic training course'

Welcome to the "online" version of NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull's 'Basic training course'.This training is based on the "verbal" training normally given by one of NCG's trainersand follows as much as possible this "verbal" training.

To conduct this training by yourself, the following requirements are needed:

- This online help document- The 'bnrtraining' project (in case you do not have this, please contact our SupportDepartment)- A printed version of the 'Sheet_drawing_108_1.tiff' and the 'Sheet_drawing_108_2.tiff'which can be found in the 'bnrtraining' project directory

This online training is built up using the following set-up:

- Each training step is explained in a so-called 'Topic' which starts with a picture (selecttopic link 'Start situation') of what you should see on your screen after the accompanieddrawing is opened ("OPEN DRAWING"). The name of the topic is the same as the drawing (view) to beopened.

- Next a short description on what is going to be performed in the training step is given

- The 'Overview of actions' lists the individual actions to be taken to get the desired result(which can be viewed selecting the topic link 'End situation')

- In case a certain action has not been explained/described yet in one of previoustraining steps, the action is marked as a topic link which will be displayed when selectingthis topic link. To return to the 'Overview of actions' you can use one of the 'arrow' iconswhich can be found at the top and at the bottom of the topic

- When the action has already been explained/described in one of previous trainingsteps, but should be used in a slightly different way or with other values this is indicatedby the sign at the end of the action. This means that this action is further described inthe 'Additional description of actions' which also contains a reference to the 'original'topic describing the same action

- To switch back and forth between the 'Basic training steps', the 'arrow' icons and

at the top and at the bottom of the topic can be used

- In section "Make block available for dashed" we need block 109, this block is themirrored block from 108. In this training course we aspect that two persons are following

this course and one of them is making the block 108 and the other 109 mirror.


Version 5.2 05/20073 NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL

1.2 Start application

1.2.1 Basic training steps (01)

Overview of actions:

1. Start NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull

1.2.2 Start NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull

Please start the application NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull by selecting theNUPAS-CADMATIC Hull icon on your desktop:

When the program has started up, it will always ask you to select the name of a projectand a block belonging to the selected project by displaying the panel "Open Block":

On the left part of this panel you see an overview of the current available projects;



"bnrtraining", "bnrdemo" and "bnrveg1500".The training project "bnrtraining" is the default project and is shown in the left upper inputbox. This project contains three blocks, which are presented on the right part of thepanel in a list.These blocks belong to the group 'Hull' as it is presented in the combo box above thelist. A project can have more groups and only those blocks will be presented which areassigned to the active group which can be selected by the combo box.

Please select the block "999" of project "bnrtraining". Now the system is entering this block "999".

Information about the current project is displayed in the status bar: The name of the active application 3D-Contek; The name of the customer "NCG"; The project directory or drawing name "n:\projects\bnrtraining\999"; The current position of the cursor "0, 0, 0".

1.3 Create new block


Overview of actions: 1. Create Block "108"

1.3.1.1 Create Block

First you have to create a new Block. Within NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull only one personcan work at the same time in one block. If you want to start with a new block, you alwaysenter an existing block of the project you need to work on. Therefore you have selected



the existing block 999 from the project bnrtraining within the previous training step. Fromthis block 999 you will create a new block named 108.

To create block "108" you select "File"->"NEW" ->"BLOCK" from the menu and enterthe block name 108 in the panel "Create Block":

On the left part of this panel you find the current available blocks. This panel alsocontains three fields; 'Name', 'Width grid' and 'Height grid'. The new block name,which always must be a number, is entered for the 'Name' field. During this trainingcourse you will skip the other fields 'Width grid' and 'Height grid' and accept thepresented default values. After entering the name of the new block, select the 'OK'button. Now the system creates the new Block "108" and enters this block after whichyou will be presented with the following panel:

This panel enables you to define an area for the created block, please use the followingvalues to define this area:

enter the values 22+9 and 31 for 'Length'



enter the values 100 and 7903 for 'Breadth' enter the values 1600 and 6218 for 'Height'

Please select the 'Ok' button to continue.

The next step consists of indicating the drawing mode, drawn or dashed, for each block.For this purpose the panel "Open drawing" is displayed:

This panel contains three columns: The column 'blocks', which contains the blocks for which you have not yet decided the

drawing mode; The column 'Drawn', which contains blocks which are presented drawn or solid; The column 'Dashed', which contains blocks which are presented dashed.

In general, only the block where you will be working in should be presented as drawn.The other blocks around this block can be presented dashed if you want to see them aswell.

You will only work in block "108" and will probably need information from the other blocksto be presented as 'Dashed' in your drawings. This can be done by selecting the group'Hull' ( all the blocks presented in the column 'blocks') from the Pull-down menu in the'Dashed' column which already has been set as default.

Please select 'Ok' button to continue



In the next step, you can create views. A view has an area in which the constructions willbe shown. The system displays the following message panel:

Please answer this question "Do you want to make views yet?" by selecting the 'YES'button.

The views will be created within the next three training steps.

1.4 Create views

1.4.1 Create top views

1.4.1.1 Basic training steps (03)

In the previous training step you have created a new block 108 and indicated whichblocks need to be drawn or dashed. Because you have answered the question "Do youwant to make views yet?" with YES, the system gives you the possibility to create newviews immediately after creating a new block.

The creation of new views is executed in a fixed order:1. Create top views;2. Create side views;3. Create frame views.

In this training step you will create two top views "Deck 6200 above base" and "Deck3500 above base".


1. Create top views "Deck 6200 above base" and "Deck 3500 above base"



1.4.1.2 Create top view

You will create two new top views "Deck 6200 above base" and "Deck 3500 above base"as part of the block creation process.

As mentioned before, a view has an area in which the constructions will be shown. Thisarea is specified by it's values for the length, breadth and height. Make this area alwaysbigger than the area of the constructions in the current block, this way, the constructionsof the dashed blocks will also be presented in your view.

You enter the values for the length, breadth and height of top view "Deck 6200 abovebase" in panel "Top view ":

This panel contains three obligatory fields 'Height', 'Min. Length' and 'Max. Length'.Because this view is positioned at 6200 above base, the value for 'Height' is 6200. The'Min. Length' and 'Max. Length' are determined by respectively the frame number ofthe aft border and the frame number of the forward border with corresponding values 21.5 and 31.5. Since you will only work on starboard, also the optional fields 'Min.Breadth' and 'Max. Breadth' are filled in. Because your plate is starting 100 mm onstarboard and you also want to see a part of the port side block, the value of -500 should

be given for 'Min. Breadth'. Unfortunately you don't know the exact value for 'Max.



Breadth' at the current position. If you don't know a value and you want the value to bedetermined by the hull line, you don't enter any value and leave it blank.

If you are working on port side, the values for 'Min. Breadth' and 'Max. Breadth' arejust the opposite. You don't enter a value for 'Min. Breadth' but leave it blank and youenter 500 as value for 'Max. Breadth'.

Below you will find a short explanation of the other optional fields: Only one top view of this size exists, therefore the value for 'No. of Sections' has

the default value "1"; The default value "25" for 'Scale' is used; The 'Step size frame numbers' with default value "2" is used in combination with

the activated 'Centre line' to display the centerline and to write every second framenumber along the centerline;

The 'Drawing number' stands for the block number and is automatically filled in; There are four types of views available: Orthogonal, Single slant side view, Single

slant frame view and Double slant; Activating 'Show equipment' will display the available equipment from piping;

Activating 'Show profile flange' will display profile flanges in three line presentationinstead of the default one line presentation;

Activating 'Show shape' will display the hull line; The 'Replace' option will be explained later during this course.

By selecting the 'Next top view' button or 'Create' button, the specified top view iscreated. Since you have to create a second top view "Deck 3500 above base", youselect the 'Next top view' button.

After selecting the 'Next top view' button the same panel "Top view" appears again



with the same values as default with the exception the value for 'Height'. The second top view you want to create is "Deck 3500 above base" with a value of 3500

for 'Height'. Now let's check the other values: only the value for 'Min. Breadth' needsto be changed, because this view is not so wide as the previous view. Let's modify thevalue for 'Min. Breadth' from -500 into 3500, meaning 3500 from centerline. Please

select the 'Create' button since this is the last top view that you are creating at thispoint.

Two top views have been created with their drawing names "108-6200" and "108-3500".

1.4.2 Create side views


After the creation of top views the system automatically gives you the possibility to createone or more side views.

In this training step you will create two side views "Long. Section 3960 off cl" and "Long.Section 6600 off cl".


1. Create side views "Long. Section 3960 off cl" and "Long. Section 6600 off cl"

1.4.2.2 Create side view (1)

You will create two new side views "Long. Section 3960 off cl" and "Long. Section 6600off cl" as part of the block creation process.

The first side view you will create is "Long. Section 3960 off cl" with the following values:



This side view is positioned at 3960 from centerline with a corresponding value 3960 for '

Breadth'. The values for 'Min. Length' and 'Max. Length' are correct. Because theview must start from the hull line, no value is entered for 'Min. Height'. The view shouldstop just above the upper deck "Deck 6200 above base" , Therefore you should insertthe value 6500 for 'Max. Height' . Because you will make the side views one by one,

please select the 'Next side view' button.

If you are working on port side, you only have to change the value for 'Breadth' from3960 into -3960.

Now the same panel "Side view" appears again with the same values with the exception of the value for 'Breadth'. The second side view "Long. Section 6600 off CL" ispositioned at 6600 from centerline, so the new value for 'Breadth' is 6600. All the othervalues are correct. At the moment you will not create more side views, but finish thecreation of side views by selecting the 'Create' button.



Two side views have been created with their standard drawing names "108-3960" and"108-6600".

1.4.3 Create frame views


After the creation of side views the system automatically gives you the possibility tocreate one or more frame views.

In this training step you will create eight frame views "Frame 23" to "Frame 30".


1. Create frame views "Frame 23" to "Frame 30"



1.4.3.2 Create cross view

You will create eight frame views "Frame 23" to "Frame 30" as part of the block creationprocess.

The eight frame views can be created in one action with the following values:

The value for 'Length' in the case of frame views is not the value from aftperpendicular, but just the aft most frame number! In this case the aft most framenumber is 23. Officially the 'Min. Height' could be left blank, meaning the view will startfrom the hull baseline, but the shape is rather high and you don't need the lower part ofit. As recommendation please enter the value 1500 for 'Min. Height'. The values for'Max. Height' and 'Max. Breadth' are correct. Only the value for 'Min. Breadth'must be changed from 3500 into -500, because all eight frame views will be created inone action. The decision to make the views in one action means that the values 8 and 1

must be entered for 'No. of sections' and 'Step size'. Please make sure that the'Base lines' button is not activated and select the 'Create' button to complete thecreation of frame views.

As you can see in the dialogue window for output, the frame views are created one by



one.

1.5 Open Drawing


Start situation

As you see, the graphical screen of NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull is still empty. Now you wantto have a look at the created views by opening them. You can open a view or drawing byselecting the function "Open Drawing" from the toolbar.

For instance, open the frame view "Frame 27" with the name "108-27".


1. Open drawing frame view "108-27"

End situation

1.5.2 Open drawing (1)

To open a drawing you have to select "Open drawing" from the toolbar:



After selecting this icon the panel "Open drawing" is displayed that enables you to opena drawing.

You can select the type of view by means of the radio buttons on the top right of thepanel shown below. The drawing number can be selected from the box below the radiobuttons. The default number shown is the current block number. If you select a differentdrawing number or click another radio button, all drawings belonging to that type of vieware shown in the column on the left. You can open one of these drawings by selecting itsnumber.

Please select the drawing "108-27" from the list. The drawing will be displayed on yourgraphical screen.

1.5.3 Update active block

When you open a drawing by using the toolbar icon "Open drawing", the program asksyou to update the view by displaying the following message panel:



You can choose between three options:1. 'Update Active

block': update only the current block

2. 'Update all blocks' : update all blocks, which are set to bedisplayed within the current block

3. 'Do not update' : do not update the current block

Updating a block means regenerating the view to present all previously createdconstruction parts within the area of the current view which have not been saved in thedrawing already.

Please select 'Do not update' since no construction has been created so far.

1.6 Deck 6200 above base


Start situation

Now you will start making your first plate. When creating plates it is very important todetermine the right sequence: Always try to achieve that a new plate refers to other plates!As it can be seen on the drawing there are two main decks "Deck 6200" and "Deck3500" and a longitudinal bulkhead "Long. bulkhead 6600" in between those decks. Thismeans that you should create the decks first and later on the longitudinal bulkhead,which then can be referred to the lower and the upper deck. These working sequenceresults in a so called topological connection or relation between the plates.

That's why you will start with creating the upper deck "Deck 6200 above base". This deckconsists of one plate with a thickness of 8 mm.


1. Clear the screen if at this point you already have opened a drawing. This can be doneby selecting the "Blank drawing" button from the toolbar.



2. open drawing top view "108-6200" 3. Place standard text "Deck 6200 above base" above the view4. Create plate "Deck 6200" with a thickness of 8 mm but without cutout

Later on you will create the necessary cutout by modifying the plate contour.

End situation

Additional description of actions:

2. open drawing top view "108-6200"

open drawing top view "108-6200" is similar to open drawing frame view "108-27", butyou have to select "Top" as type of view and "108-6200" as drawing name within panel"open drawing".

1.6.2 Text (1)

Recommendation: Place standard text at the view before you start creating anystructure!

When there is too little space above the view to place the standard text, the view needsto be shifted down by using the "PAN" option:

Hot key: <Ctrl> + Mouse

Press this button <Ctrl> and shift the view by means of the mouse and place it at thedesired location.

Now there is enough space above the view to place the standard text by selecting"TEXT" from the toolbar Dimensions:

After selecting this function the panel "Textmenu" appears:



To place standard text above a view you only have to select one of the texts. In thisexample please select the text "Deck 6200 above base". The selected text will appear inthe graphical screen. By means of the mouse you can indicate the position where youwould like to have the text placed . You can reposition this text afterwards by using thehot key <z> or <Z> in combination with the mouse.

Next, you want to have everything back in the full screen. You can use the function "FullScreen" from the toolbar for this:

Hot key: <5>

1.6.3 Create plates (1)

Now you will create your first plate "Deck 6200" without cutout.



One of the most frequently used functions within NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull is the creationof plates. The plate creation function has a considerable number of options, due to thefact that plates can have very different shapes. During this training course you will createseveral plates with increasing level of complexity. Each plate has a specified thicknessand contour.

Within the current application 3D-Contek the plate will always be situated in the plane ofthe current view. Within NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull plate boundaries must be definedcounterclockwise.Examples of possible plate boundaries are:- Hull shape;- Plates and profiles;- Local horizontal and vertical limitations;- Lines and arcs drawn by yourself.

Select the toolbar icon "Plates in View":

After selecting this icon the panel "Plate thickness and type of material" appears:

This panel contains one obligatory field 'Thickness' and three optional fields'Thickness direction', 'Type of material' and 'Shift of working plane'. Only thevalues for 'Thickness' and 'Thickness direction' will be of concern during the basictraining course. In this case plate "Deck 6200" has a thickness of 8 mm and thethickness direction is from base. After accepting these values by selecting the 'OK'button, you have to specify the plate boundaries or plate relations by means of the panel"Define a plate contour".



Overview of basic rules for the specification of plate boundaries: The plate boundaries must be defined counterclockwise; Generally, the indication point of an item to be related, is

at the side whereat the plate is created; The starting boundary of a plate can be arbitrarily

selected.

The boundaries of plate "Deck 6200" without cutout will be defined as followings: Start with the aft boundary of the plate and select the 'Min. Length' button. The aft

boundary is located 100 mm beyond frame 22 (at the fore ship side). This value mustbe entered as 22+100 for 'Min. Length';

Applying the rule that plate boundaries must be defined counterclockwise, the nextboundary of the plate is the hull line. This boundary can be defined by giving anindicating point inside the hull at the graphical window;

The next boundary is the forward boundary of the plate located at frame 31. Selectthe 'Max. Length' button and enter 31 as value in the entry box;

The last boundary of the plate is a line with a parallel distance of 100 mm from thecenterline. Select the 'Min. Breadth' button and enter 100 as value in the entry box

The following rules can assist you in determining the type of length (minimum ormaximum) for a certain definition: If there is material( of the plate to be created) left on the right side of the definition, like

the aft, this definition is considered as minimum length; If there is no material(of the plate to be created) left on the right side of the definition,

like frame 31, this definition is considered as maximum length.



After defining all boundaries of the plate "Deck 6200" you can preview the result byselecting the 'Compute' button. Only by selecting the 'OK' button, plate "Deck 6200" isactually created!



Start situation

Now you will create "Deck 3500 above base".

Deck 3500 is a deck with two different thicknesses and therefore it must be created fromtwo separate plates: A deck with thickness 10 mm; A deck with thickness 12 mm.


1. open drawing top view "108-3500" 2. Place standard text "Deck 3500 above base" above view 3. Create plate "Deck 3500" with thickness 10 mm 4. Create plate "Deck 3500" with thickness 12 mm but without cutout

End situation


1. open drawing top view "108-3500"

open drawing top view "108-3500" is similar to open drawing frame view "108-27", butyou have to select "Top" as type of view and "108-3500" as drawing name within panel"Open drawing".



2. Place standard text "Deck 3500 above base" above view

Place standard text "Deck 3500 above base" above view is similar to place standard text"Deck 6200 above base" above view. Please select from panel "Text menu" the text"Deck 3500 above base".

3. Create plate "Deck 3500" with thickness 10 mm

The creation of plate "Deck 3500" with thickness 10 mm is similar to the creation of plate"Deck 6200" with the following plate boundaries:

Option Value

'Min. Length' 22 + 9 ( 9: assumed thickness of transverse bulkhead )Indicate the hull line

'Max. Length' 26 - 50

'Min. Breadth' 3920


Now you will create the second plate "Deck 3500" with thickness 12 mm but withoutcutout.

If you take a close look at the drawing, you will detect a little jut in the contour of thisplate. This jut is located at the upper left corner of the plate:



Due to the jut in the plate contour, the creation of this plate will be more complicated thanthe previous rectangular plate.

Let's create the second plate "Deck 3500" by selecting "Create plate" the toolbar :

After selecting this function, you enter the values for 'Thickness' and 'Thicknessdirection' in panel "Plate thickness and type of material".

The second plate "Deck 3500" has a thickness of 12 mm and the thickness direction isfrom base. After selecting the 'OK' button, you have to specify the plate boundaries orplate relations by means of the panel "Define a plate contour".



As a reminder, please be aware of the following rule:"The plate boundaries must bedefined counterclockwise!"

The boundaries of plate "Deck 3500" with thickness 12 mm will be defined by using areference to another plate and minimum and maximum boundary values: Start with the aft boundary of the plate by directly indicating the aft plate "Deck 3500"

with thickness 10 mm at a position beyond the line(at the fore ship side) . In thissituation you don't have to use the 'Min. Length' button;

Applying the rule that plate boundaries must be described counterclockwise, the nextboundary of the plate is the hull line. Thus indicate the hull line;

The next boundary of the plate is the forward boundary of the plate located at frame31. Select the 'Max. Length' button and enter 31 as value in the entry box;

The next boundary of the plate is a line with a parallel distance of 3950 from thecenterline. Select the 'Min. Breadth' button and enter 3950 as value in the entry box;

Now you have to define the little jut: The next boundary of the plate is located at frame 26, where you have a new

maximum length, because there is air right from frame 26. Select the 'Max. Length'button and the previous value will disappear. Now you can enter 26 as new value in theentry box;

The last boundary of the plate is a line with a parallel distance of 3920 from thecenterline. Select the 'Min. Breadth' button and enter 3920 as new value in the entrybox.

After defining all boundaries of plate "Deck 3500" you can preview the result by pressing



the 'Compute' button. When the plate looks correct, it can be created by pressing the'OK' button.

Note: The creation of this plate illustrates the general rule, that a plate can containseveral minimum and maximum lengths!

1.8 Long. section 6600 off CL


Start situation

Now you will create the longitudinal bulkhead "Long. bulkhead 6600" in between thedecks "Deck 6200" and "Deck 3500".


1. open drawing side view "108-6600" 2. Choose Update active block to see the decks you have created earlier3. Place standard text "Long. section 6600 off cl" above view 4. Shift baseline5. Create plate "Long. bulkhead 6600" without corner holes6. Create standard holes with dimensions 850 / 450 mm7. Dimension holes8. Create de-aeration/draining holes with radius 50 mm

Two small corner holes are still missing here. They can be created by using the toolbaricon "Create corner holes" and the option icon "Corner hole" from panel "Corner holes".If you use this option, there is one disadvantage: the created corner holes will not betopological! Therefore it's better to take these corner holes in the contour of the plate.When the corner holes are part of the plate contour, they will be topological. This optionwill be explained later.

End situation




1. open drawing side view "108-6600"

open drawing side view "108-6600" is similar to open drawing frame view "108-27", butyou have to select "Side" as type of view and "108-6600" as drawing name within panel"Open drawing".

3. Place standard text "Long. section 6600 off CL" above view

Place standard text "Long. section 6600 off cl" above view is similar to place standardtext "Deck 6200 above base" above view. Please select from panel "Text menu" the text"Long. section 6600 off CL".

1.8.2 Update active section

When you open a drawing by using the toolbar icon "open drawing", the program asksyou to update the view by displaying a message panel:

You can choose between three options:1. Update Active

block: update only the current block

2. Update all blocks : update all blocks, which are enabledto be displayed within the currentblock

3. Do not update : Do not update the current block

Updating a block means regenerating the view to present all previously createdconstruction parts within the area of the current view which have not been saved in thedrawing already.

In this situation please select 'Update Active block' in order to see the decks you have



created earlier.

1.8.3 Shift baseline

Now you will move up the baseline from the zero level, because the baseline is a little bittoo far away from the hull line. By lifting the baseline up, you don't loose additional spaceon the drawing.

Let's shift the baseline by selecting the function "DRAW?" from the toolbar :

After selecting this icon the panel "108-6600" appears. Within this panel select option 'Base lines' and change the value from 0 into 1500:



After selecting the 'OK' button, the baseline is positioned at 1500 from base.

You can now get the full screen by using the toolbar function "Full screen" or hot key <5>.




Now you will create plate "Long. bulkhead 6600" with thickness 10 mm but withoutcorner holes.

This plate will be created between the decks "Deck 6200" and "Deck 3500". You havecreated deck "Deck 3500" out of two separate plates with different thicknesses andtherefore it contains a step at the position of frame 26 minus 50 mm:

The boundaries of plate "Long. bulkhead 6600" will be defined by referring to thesedecks and then automatically the step will be created.

Let's create the plate by selecting the function "Create plate" from the toolbar:

After selecting this function, you enter the values for 'Thickness' and 'Thicknessdirection' in panel "Plate thickness and type of material":

This plate has a thickness of 10 mm and the thickness direction is from CL. Ignore thevalue for 'Shift of working plane', Select the 'OK' button and specify the plateboundaries.



The boundaries of the plate will be defined as follows: Start with the aft boundary of the plate defined by the minimum length. Select the

'Min. Length' button and enter value 22+9 in the entry box. By giving the value "+9" isthe thickness of the aft bulkhead is taken in account;

The next boundaries are the lower decks "Deck 3500", consisting of two deck plateswith different thicknesses: First select the aft most deck plate by indicating a few millimeters above this plate; Secondly select the front deck plate by indicating again a few millimeters above this

plate; The next boundary is the forward boundary defined by the maximum length. Select

the 'Max. Length' button and enter value 31 in the entry box; The last boundary is the upper deck "Deck 6200". This boundary can be defined by

indicating a little bit below the deck.

After defining all boundaries, create this plate "Long. bulkhead 6600" by selecting the 'OK' button.

You can check if plate "Long. bulkhead 6600" contains a step by zooming in on the lowerboundary of this plate. But before zooming in, it is recommended to display backgroundlines by selecting the option "view" -> "plate presentation"-> "Show backgroundlines":

Accept the default option 'all plates' within panel "Actual position":



All plates in block are standard displayed as one green line, but with this option the realthickness lines of plates in block are displayed in blue color, while the border lines ofplates in view are displayed in yellow color.

Now zoom in near frame 26 by using the function "Zoom in" from the toolbar :

area key: <1>

Although the toolbar function "Zoom in" and the hot key <1> are both used for zoomingin, there is a difference in usage:

After selecting the toolbar function "Zoom in", you use the mouse to define the area onwhich you want to zoom in by indicating the two points of the arean;

Hot key <1> supports interactively zooming in 50%: pressing this hot key results inzooming in one step. The current position of the cross hair is used as focus point forthe zoom process.

Indeed, the bulkhead contains a small step.

Remove the background lines by using the little cross in the upper right corner of thepanel

Hot key: <Esc>

Next, you use the toolbar icon "Full screen" or hot key <5> again to get the full screen.

1.8.5 Create holes

Now you will create four standard holes with dimensions 850 / 450 mm.



Unfortunately these four holes can not be created in one step, you have to create themin two steps. First, create the two lower ones and then create the two upper ones.

Create the two lower holes by selecting the toolbar icon "Create holes":

Select from panel "Holes" the first option icon "Fixed hole":

Within panel "Create holes" you enter the position of the first and second hole:

Within this panel the fields 'From frame' and 'From height' are used to determine theposition of the centre point of the first aft most hole and the fields 'To frame' and 'Toheight' are used to determine the position of the second hole. You don't have to enter a

value for 'To height' because the second hole is positioned at the same height as thefirst one. In this case no value is entered for 'Step size' because the default value 1 is

the correct value. For additional information about the field 'Step size' see note.Furthermore no value is entered for 'Number of items': based on the step size of 1 thenumber of items will be automatically calculated as 2.

Notes: If the cursor is already at the right position, you can use the button 'Hole atcurrent control'. The corresponding values will then automatically be shown in thepanel.After you have defined the centre point of the first hole, the cursor will move to thisposition.You can check the actual values for 'Step size' and 'Number of items' by usingseveral times the <Tab> key.



After entering the position of the holes you select the desired type of hole:

Now you enter the dimension of the holes by means of panel "Hole types":

By selecting the 'OK' button, the two lower holes with dimensions 850 / 450 mm will becreated.

You follow the same procedure to create the two upper holes. The only difference is; thevalue for 'From height' within panel "Create holes": 5500 in stead of 4300.

1.8.6 Dimension manhole

You will place dimensions in the created standard holes.

Select from the toolbar "draw" the icon dimensions:

To place dimensions in a hole, you select the toolbar icon "Dimensions":

As the hint ( "Select where to place dimension") clearly points out , you have to indicate apoint where the dimension should be placed.

Please indicate a point inside the hole's to place the dimensions.



1.8.7 Create draining / ventilation holes

You will create three upper holes and three lower holes with radius 50 mm. The upperholes are so-called de-aeration holes and the lower ones are so-called draining holes.

Although there are three ventilation holes, due to their positions these holes can not becreated in one action. In this case only two holes can be created in one action, so youmust create the remaining hole separately.

Let's create two ventilation holes in one action by selecting the toolbar icon "Createdraining/ventilation holes":

Select from panel "Corner holes" option "Draining hole":

According to the hint "Indicate the part in which the hole has to be positioned" you haveto indicate just below the upper deck. After indicating this deck, you enter the position ofthe aft most and the forward ventilation hole by means of panel "Createdraining/ventilation holes":

Within this panel the fields 'From frame' and 'To frame' are used to determine theposition of the aft most and the forward ventilation hole. Again no values are needed tobe entered for 'Step size' and 'Number of items'. By selecting the 'OK' button, the twoventilation holes are created.

The remaining ventilation hole is positioned at frame 30 minus 100 mm and can becreated using the same procedure. Within panel "Create draining/ventilation holes" youonly have to enter value 30-100 for 'From frame'. Select the 'OK' button to create thethird ventilation hole.



Now all three ventilation holes have been created.

You follow the same procedure to create the three draining holes. The only difference isthe position of the indicated point: now you have to indicate just above the lower deck.



Start situation

Now you will return to the upper deck "Deck 6200 above base" to add holes, deck beamsand seams.


1. open drawing top view "108-6200"2. Choose "Update active block" to see the bulkhead "Long. bulkhead 6600"3. Create holes with diameter 450 mm at 7000 from cl 4. Modify aft most hole by shifting it 50 mm5. Dimension holes 6. Create two small holes with diameter 50 mm 7. Create holes parallel to hull line with diameter 50 mm8. Create transverse deck beam at FR289. Create two longitudinal deck beams at 1320 off cl10.Create a series of transverse deck beams from FR23 until FR27 11.Create welded soft seams at 1940, 3910 and 6550 off cl.12.Add weld symbols to the soft seams13.Code plate "Deck 6200" to check the division of this plate in smaller parts

You will notice that the deck beams at frame 29 and 30 are still missing. You could makethese beams with a fixed value here, but it's better to wait a while until you have createdthe longitudinal bulkhead "Long. bulkhead 3960". Then you can relate the deck beams tothis bulkhead.



End situation


3. Create holes with diameter 450 mm at 7000 from cl

The creation of these holes is similar to the creation of standard holes 850/450 mm withthe following properties:

Name of panel Option Value

Create holes 'From frame' 22.5'From breadth' 7000'To frame' 30.5Selected holetype

Hole types 'Diameter' 450

5. Dimension holes

The dimensioning of holes with diameter 450 mm is similar to the dimensioning ofstandard holes 850/450 mm

6. Create two small holes with diameter 50 mm

The creation of these holes is similar to the creation of standard holes 850/450 mm.

The first hole is positioned just forward of frame 29 and the second hole is just aft frame31. Nevertheless these holes can be created in one go with the following properties:


Create holes 'From frame' 29+100'From breadth' 6700'To frame' 31-100'Number of items'

2

Selected holetype


Note: Usually the step size is one, but between the frame positions "29+100" and"31-100" the actual step size is less than 2. If you enter value "1" for option 'Stepsize', the system will modify the value for option 'To frame' from "31-100" into"31+100", but you don't want this. To force the system to use the given framepositions, you enter a value "2" for option 'Number of items' instead of a value foroption 'Step size'. By means of the <TAB> key, you can check later on the value for



'Step size'. The actual value, calculated by the system, is "1.7142".

10.Create a series of transverse deck beams from FR23 until FR27

Now you will create a series of transverse deck beams from FR23 until FR27 betweenthe longitudinal bulkhead "Long. bulkhead 6600" and the longitudinal girder at 1320 fromcl. Because all these deck beams are equal, you can make them in one go. The creationprocess is similar to the creation of one transverse deck beam at FR28 with the followingproperties:


Create profile Selected profiletype

'Body size' 140'Thickness' 8'From frame' 23'To frame' 27'Step size' 1 ( this default value can be omitted )'Body direction' Towards Base'Thicknessdirection'

From reversed frame

'Type of material' GR-ABorder value Limitation First limitation

Indicate the longitudinal bulkhead at6600 from cl

'Vertical distance' 40'1st end shape'

Border value Limitation Second limitationIndicate the longitudinal deck beam at1320 from cl

'Vertical distance' 0'2nd end shape'

End type 'Radius' 35

This will result in the generation of five transverse deck beams, positioned at frame 23until frame 27.



1.9.2 Open drawing (2)

To open a drawing you have to select the toolbar icon "Open drawing":

Until now you have selected the next drawing to open from the panel "Open drawing".According to the hint "Indicate part which has to be visible" another possibility tochange between drawings is to indicate a part in the current drawing. After indicating thepart, the system will open the new drawing of this part.

In this case you will return to the upper deck "Deck 6200 above base". By means ofselecting the upper deck, the system will change from side view to top view "108-6200".

1.9.3 Turn/shift holes

If you zoom in on the aft most hole, you will see that this hole touches the plate border.Because this situation is not acceptable, you will modify this hole by shifting it 50 mmforward.

Within NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull every 'Create' option has also a 'Change' option tomodify the earlier created part and every 'Change' option has a 'Create' option. Tomodify the aft most hole you can directly select the 'Change' button from the panel"Holes", which is still available on the screen. Besides that, also some change optionsare accessible directly from the toolbar like 'Change plates' and 'Change holes'.

To shift the aft most hole select the toolbar icon "Change holes":

Select from the change panel "Holes" the first option icon "Turn/shift":

By means of panel "Hole selection menu" you select the aft most hole:



From this selection panel the upper part until option 'Highlight' will appear in manyselection panels within NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull. The options of this upper part will beshortly explained here:

Selectionmethods: Cross hair : only the item(s) you click on is (are) selected

Conflict : making a box, also items that have been only partiallyboxed are included

Clump : making a box, only items that have been boxedentirely are included

Selectiontreatment: Select : item(s) are selected

Exclude : exclude items to be selected item(s) from the currentselection

Selectionbuttons: All : select all items at once

Reverse : reverse the current selection

Highlight : highlight the current selection

Now select the aft most hole . Enter the value 0+50 for 'In length' which means the hole



will be moved over a distance of 50 mm (if the value 50 is inserted instead of 0+50 it

means that de hole would be moved over 50 frame's) . Select the 'OK' button to shiftthe hole to the new position.

1.9.4 Create holes parallel to line

Now you will create eighteen holes parallel to the hull line with diameter 50 mm.

To create these holes parallel to the hull line, select toolbar icon "Create holes" again:

Select from panel "Holes" the fifth option icon "Hole parallel to line":

According to the hint "Indicate line at side where to position the hole", you indicate a fewmillimeters above the hull line. Afterwards you enter the position of the holes along thehull line by means of panel "Create holes":

Within this panel the value for 'Parallel distance' stands for the distance between the



center of the holes and the hull line. Furthermore, the fields 'From frame' and 'Toframe' are used to determine the position of the aft most hole and the last hole to becreated towards fore ship. A difficulty for determining the concerning values for thesefields is the irregularity in frame distance at frame 28 from 650 mm into 700 mm.Therefore you will not enter values like 22+325, but you will use decimal values. The aftmost hole is located at a quarter of the frame distance between frame 22 and frame 23:the value for option 'From frame' is 22.25. The last hole is located at three-quarters of

the frame distance between frame 30 and frame 31: the value for 'To frame' is 30.75.Finally the distance between the holes is half a frame distance: the value for 'Horizontaldistance' is .5. The total number of holes will be calculated by the system.

Choose the type of hole:

Enter a value for diameter of these holes by means of panel "Hole types":

By selecting the 'OK' button, eighteen holes with diameter 50 mm will be created parallelto the hull line.

1.9.5 Create vertical profiles (1)

Now you will start to make your first deck beam. As you have experienced during thecreation of plates, you should always try to refer as much as possible to otherconstruction parts. You will do the same for profiles.

If you take a close look at the drawing, you will see the following deck beams: At frame 28 a continuous transverse deck beam HP 200 x 9; At 1320 from CL a longitudinal deck beam HP 200 x 9, starting at frame 22 and

stopping at frame 28; At 1320 from CL a longitudinal deck beam HP 200 x 9, starting at frame 28 and

stopping at frame 31; From frame 23 until frame 27 a series of transverse deck beams HP 140 x 8 between



the longitudinal bulkhead "Long. bulkhead 6600" and the longitudinal deck beam at1320 from CL.

To get the most optimum in referring, at first you will create the transverse deck beam atframe 28, then you will create the two longitudinal deck beams at 1320 from cl and finallyyou will create the remaining smaller transverse deck beams from frame 23 until frame27.

Generally, all deck beams will be created using the available functions for profiles. Thesefunctions are accessible by means of the toolbar icon "Create profile":

After selecting this icon the panel "Profiles" is displayed:

This panel contains four different options for creating topological profiles:Topological profiles are profiles which are defined by the position of otherconstructionparts and/or the hull. This means that any changes in the position of theother constructionparts has influence on the concerning profile;

Vertical profiles

Horizontal profiles

Profiles in view

Arbitrary profiles

Within this training step you will only create vertical and horizontal profiles. The terms 'Horizontal' and 'Vertical' have nothing to do with the actual position of the profile itself,but with the position as it is presented in the drawing! During this course, you will alsocreate profiles in view and arbitrary profiles.

Let's create the transverse deck beam at frame 28. Due to the vertical position of thisbeam on the drawing, you have to select the option icon "Vertical profiles":

You specify the type of profile and it's position by means of panel "Create profile":



The available options within this panel will be shortly explained here: The type of profile is "HP" or "Bulb" and therefore the following option icon is selected:

To select the size of the profile, you have to select the options 'Body size' and 'Thickness'. Each option generates a list of default values from which you select theappropriate one. In this case you select the value 200 for 'Body size' and 9 for'Thickness';

To determine the position of one profile or a series of profiles, you have to enter avalue for 'From frame' and may enter values for 'To frame', 'Step size' and'Number of items'. In this case you will create only one profile at frame 28, so you



only have to enter value 28 for 'From frame'; To determine how one profile or series of profiles are created, you have to select one

of the presented options for 'Body direction' and 'Thickness direction': If the profile should be created below the plate, you accept the default value Towards

Base for 'Body direction', but if the profile should be created on top of the plate,you select the other value From Base;

The thickness direction of the profile depends on the actual position of the profilewith respect to the reversed frame and the chosen value for 'Thicknessdirection'. For instance, when the profile is located aft from the reversed frameand the thickness direction is "From reversed frame" the profile will be created withit's thickness direction pointing to the aft ship.

The type of material of the profile will be the presented standard material "GR-A"; Normally the profile will automatically be attached to the right plate. Only in exceptional

cases you select the plate to which the profile should be attached. So the 'Chooseplate' button is hardly used.

After selecting the 'OK' button, you have to specify the length of the profile by definingit's first and second relations. Whenever possible, you should define the first and secondrelations by referring to other construction parts. Using the reference method results in aso-called topological profile. It's preferable to work from lower end to upper end.

Now you determine the lower end of the profile by means of panel "Border value":

The lower end of the deck beam is limited by the longitudinal bulkhead "Long. bulkhead6600". Instead of entering a value for 'Breadth value', you will refer to the longitudinal

bulkhead by selecting a position just above this bulkhead. The option 'Verticaldistance' stands for the distance between the beam and the longitudinal bulkhead. Thisdistance is 40 mm. You also have to define the concerning end cuts of the deck beamfor this position.

Generally speaking a profile can be given four end shapes: The first and second end shapes are used for the body of the profile; The third and fourth end shapes are meant for the flange of the profile.



Looking at the limitations of the profile, the end cut at the first limitation is specified bythe first and third end shapes and so the end cut at the second limitation is defined bythe second and fourth end shapes.

Note: In this case you will not select the third and fourth end shape, because defining theend shape for the flange of a bulb is not very useful.

Now you specify the end cut of the deck beam by selecting type 'A' as the first endshape:

After specifying the lower end or first limitation of the profile, you determine the upperend or second limitation of the profile. The same panel "Border value" is presented withoption 'Second limitation' selected:

The upper end of the deck beam is limited by the upper boundary of plate "Deck 6200"which is at a distance of 100 mm from the centerline. Refer to this upper boundary byselecting a position just below it. At the upper end the vertical distance from the end ofthe stiffener until the plate boundary should be 0 mm. Finally you have to define the endcut of the deck beam again by selecting type 'C' as the second end shape:

This end shape contains a small welding hole in the corner. You can enter theappropriate radius of this welding hole within panel "End type":



By selecting the 'OK' button, the transverse deck beam at frame 28 will be created.

1.9.6 Create horizontal profiles

After creating the transverse deck beam at frame 28, you will create two longitudinaldeck beams at 1320 from CL: A longitudinal deck beam HP 200 x 9, starting at frame 22 and stopping at frame 28; A longitudinal deck beam HP 200 x 9, starting at frame 28 and stopping at frame 31.

Let's first create the aft most longitudinal deck beam, starting at frame 22 and stoppingat frame 28.

Select the toolbar icon "Create profile":

Select from panel "Profiles" the option icon "Horizontal profiles":

Also for this horizontal profile you specify type of profile and it's position by means ofpanel "Create profile". Generally speaking the last used type of profile is used as thedefault for the new one. In this situation the default type of profile HP 200 x 9 is thecorrect one.



Within this panel the available options are quite similar to the presented options withinpanel "Create profile" in the case of vertical profiles. The differences are listed below: To determine the position of one profile or a series of profiles, you will now use the

fields 'From breadth' and 'To breath' instead of 'To frame' and 'From frame'; The thickness direction of the profile now depends on the actual position of the profile

with respect to the centerline.

In this situation you will create only one profile at 1320 from centerline. This profile will belocated below the deck with a thickness direction from the centerline.

After selecting the 'OK' button, you have to specify the length of the profile by definingit's start and end points. We take as start point the aft end of the profile.



Now you determine the aft end of the profile by means of panel "Border value":

The aft end of the longitudinal deck beam is limited by the aft boundary of plate "Deck6200". Refer to this aft boundary by selecting a point just in front of it, inside the plate. Atthe aft end the horizontal distance is 0 mm; enter value 0 for 'Horizontal distance'.Select the first end shape being end shape type 'C':

Next, enter the radius for the small welding hole in the corner:

By selecting the 'OK' button you have defined the aft relation of the longitudinal deckbeam.

Now the forward end of the profile will be defined by means of the same panel:



The forward end of the longitudinal deck beam is limited by frame 28. Instead of enteringvalue 28-9 for 'frame numbers', you can also select a point few millimeters on the left

hand side of the deck beam at frame 28. The value "0" for the 'Horizontal distance'has already been inserted as default. Select the second end shape being end shapetype 'N'. This special type is chosen because it contains, besides the welding hole, anadditional hole to deliver room for the bulb profile:

Finally enter the radius of the upper corner:

By selecting the 'OK' button, the aft most longitudinal deck beam will be created.

Now you will create the forward longitudinal deck beam, starting at frame 28 andstopping at frame 31, in a similar way.

The properties of this second beam are listed in the following table:



'Body size' 200

'Thickness' 9

'From breadth' 1320

'Body direction' Towards Base



'Thicknessdirection'

1.9.7 Create seams horizontal

Now you will create three welding seams in plate "Deck 6200".

The plate you have created until now is too big for the cutting machine. It needs to bedivided in smaller parts by creating seams in the plate.

Within NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull there are two ways for dividing plates:1. Splitting plates;2. Creating seams.

By splitting a plate, you cut the plate into smaller(more) plates. By creating seams on aplate you do not divide the plate into smaller parts, unless you start to code this plate.The advantage of using seams during the engineering process is the fact, that you areable to change the position of the seams on the plate easily, since the plate is not reallysplitted. Therefore our recommendation is to use seams to take care of the followingprerequisite: the plate must have an equal thickness!Sometimes it is required to make a part of the existing plate thicker or thinner. In suchcases you have to split the plate first and then change the thickness of the concerningpart.

In this case the upper deck "Deck 6200" contains three seams: A horizontal seam at 1940 from CL;



A horizontal seam at 3910 from CL; A horizontal seam at 6550 from CL;First you will make two seams at 1940 and 3910 from CL and then you will make theremaining one at 6550 from CL. These seams can't be made in one step, due to adifference in intermediate distance between them.

Now we are going to create the first two horizontal seams in plate "Deck 6200", whichhas an equal thickness of 8 mm.

Select the toolbar icon "Welds":

After selecting this icon the panel "Welds" is displayed:

This panel contains two options for Seams:

Seam horizontal

Seam vertical

Due to the horizontal division, select option icon "Seam horizontal":

According to the hint "Select part in which a welding seam has to be placed" you selectplate "Deck 6200". Enter the location of the first two welds to be created by means ofpanel "Create welds":

By pressing the 'OK' button, two soft seams are created at 1940 and 3910 from cl.



Now let's create the third horizontal weld in plate "Deck 6200". This weld, positioned at6550 from cl, is created in a similar way as the previous ones.

1.9.8 Create weld symbols (1)

Now you will add weld symbols to the created seams.

Select from the toolbar insert the icon "Weld symbol" again:

Select from panel "Insert Weld Symbols" the first option icon "Weld symbol":

The system will display an additional panel "Weld symbols", in which you can select awelding code:

This welding code is not used by everyone. If you don't wish to place a welding code, youcomplete the process using the little cross in the upper right corner. After you haveindicated the positions whereat the weld symbols should be placed. Other wise youcomplete the process with selecting the 'Ok' button of the panel "Weld symbols'.

Here you will only add weld symbols to the seams without additional welding codes.Please indicate the desired positions of the weld symbol for all three seams and



complete the process by closing the window. so that no welding codes are placed.

1.9.9 Code plate (1)

As explained before, a plate containing seams will not be divided into smaller parts,unless you code this plate. You will check the division of plate "Deck 6200" in fourindividual parts by coding it.

Coding a plate means creating one or more DXF-output files for Computer AidedManufacturing. These output files contain both geometric and production information ofthe part and will be imported in a nesting program.

Generally speaking the "Code plate" option is only used for individual geometricallycomplex plates to verify if the generated production output is correct. In real life theentire block will be coded after the block has been completed

Select "CAM" -> "Code one part" from the menu and the system will display panel"Code part":



Please follow the instruction given by hint "Select the part to be coded" and select plate"Deck 6200" . The graphical screen will be split up in two parts: one part contains theoriginal drawing and the other part contains the coded part. With the 'Switchwindows' button from panel "Coded part" you are able to switch between thesewindows.

In this situation the first coded part in DXF-format "6116108-1-1.dxf" will be displayedwithin window "Code part". By using the 'Next' button you are able to display and add tothis window all the coded parts belonging to this plate one by one as it is illustrated in thefigure below displaying the files "6116108-1-1.dxf", "6116108-1-2.dxf", "6116108-1-3.dxf"and "6116108-1-4.dxf":



Within window "Code part" you see that every plate has it's own orientation symbol. Thecutting lines are displayed in green and the marking lines are displayed in white. Thewhite marking lines also contain one or more triangles. These triangles indicate thethickness direction of the connected deck beams.The plate is shown upside down. As part of the coding process the plate is automaticallyturned upside down because of the marking lines, which must be marked from above onthe cutting machine.

Now return to the original plate in 3D-Contek by Closing the window or use the hot key <Esc>.

You will see that plate "Deck 6200" is still one plate with the seams: the coding processdoes not modify the original part but generates an extract from it.

1.10 Frame 28


Start situation

Now you can check in Frame view the deck beams and soft seams.


1. open drawing frame view "108-28" 2. Choose "Update active block" to see the deck beams and the position of the seams

End situation


1. open drawing frame view "108-28"



open drawing frame view "108-28" is similar to open drawing top view "108-6200", butyou should indicate the deck beam at frame 28 within the current top view "108-6200".

1.10.2 Create weld symbols (2)

You have the possibility to add small welding symbols to the seams in the upper deck.The location of each seam is illustrated by the following symbol:

Select the toolbar icon "Welds":

Select from panel "Welds" the second option icon "Weld symbol":

Follow the instruction given in the hint "Indicate position on line, where symbol has to beput", you indicate a position just above the blue seam symbol at the upper deck. Thesmall welding symbols will be created above the location of the seams.

1.12 Long. section 3960 off cl


Start situation

Now you will open the longitudinal block "Long. section 3960 off CL".

Within this training step you will create the lower part of this view. In contrary with thedrawing, you will follow a different approach in creating this lower part to practiceadditional options within NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull: You will create one aft plate from frame 22 until frame 29 plus 50 mm with a

thickness of 10 mm; You will create the forward plate from frame 29 plus 50 mm until frame 31 with a

thickness of 10 mm; By using "Split plate", you will cut the aft plate in two smaller plates at the position

frame 26 minus 50 mm; You will change the thickness of the mid plate from 10 into 12 mm; You will add a corner hole to the aft plate with radius 50 mm.The end result will be the same as shown on the drawing.


1. open drawing side view "108-3960" 2. Choose "Update active block"3. Shift baseline 4. Place standard text "Long. block 3960 off CL" above view 5. Create aft plate "Long. bulkhead 3960" with thickness 10 mm from FR22 until

FR29+506. Create forward plate "Long. bulkhead 3960" with thickness 10 mm from FR29+50

until FR31 7. Cut aft plate with a hard seam in two smaller plates at position FR26-508. Place thickness text and part number on plates9. Change thickness of the mid plate "Long. bulkhead 3960" from 10 to 12 mm10.Add corner hole to the aft plate "Long. bulkhead 3960"11.Create holes with diameter 450 mm 12.Create ventilation/draining holes with radius 50 mm 13.Dimension holes14.Check properties of available parts

By now you have finished the lower part of this view. What still needs to be done is thecreation of the longitudinal bulkhead of 10 mm and the longitudinal girder. We prefer tomake these parts later, because the transfer plate at frame 29 is continuous. So it'sbetter to make first the transfer plate at frame 29 and later on refer the small longitudinalplate and the girder to the transfer plate at frame 29.



End situation



open drawing side view "108-3960" is similar to open drawing frame view "108-27", withthe exceptions that you select "Side" as type of view and "108-3960" as drawing name within panel "Open drawing".

3. Shift baseline

The baseline is lifted up from 0 to 1500 from base by means of shifting, like you havedone within "Long. section 6600 off CL".

4. Place standard text "Long. section 3960 off CL" above view

Place standard text "Long. section 3960 off cl" above view is similar to place standardtext "Deck 6200 above base" above view. Please select from panel "Text menu" the text"Long. section 3960 off CL".

6. Create forward plate "Long. bulkhead 3960" with thickness 10 mm from FR29+50until FR31

The creation of forward plate "Long bulkhead 3960" with thickness 10 mm is similar tothe creation of plate "Deck 6200" with the following plate boundaries:

Option Value

Indicate the deckIndicate the forward boundary of aft plate"Long. bulkhead 3960" Indicate the hull line

'Max. Length' 31

10. Create holes with diameter 450 mm

The creation of these holes is similar to the creation of standard holes 850/450 mm withthe following properties:


Create holes 'From frame' 22.5

'From height' 3000



'To frame' 25.5

Selected holetype


11.Create ventilation/draining holes with radius 50 mm

The creation of ventilation and draining holes is similar to the creation of draining holes.Be aware of the fact, that these holes will not be topological!

Let's first create four de-aeration holes by indicating the aft most deck plate andsupplying the following properties:


Create draining/ventilationholes

'From frame' 22.5

'To frame' 25.5

'Radius' 50

Now create three draining holes along the hull line by indicating the hull line andsupplying the following properties:


Create draining/ventilationholes

'From frame' 23.5

'To frame' 25.5

'Radius' 50

12. Dimension holes

The dimensioning of holes is similar to the dimensioning of standard hole 850/450.

To dimension the small ventilation and draining holes, you should not click inside thehole but just outside of it. Both the arrow and the dimension will be placed outside thehole. This functionality will be explained by means of the following figure:

The arrow with the hole dimension will be drawn from the center of the hole through theindication point. Thus the arrow direction depends on the indication point just outside thehole, for example point 1 or point 2.



If something goes wrong with this option, you can use the hot key <DEL> to remove thedimension, but you still keep inside the option. Thus you can directly select a new properplace for the dimension of the hole. Furthermore during this option you can zoom in orzoom out by using respectively hot key <1> and hot key <3> or by using the toolbaroptions.


Now you will create the lower aft plate "Long. bulkhead 3960" with thickness 10 mm andtwo corner holes.

During the creation of this plate, the corner holes will be made in the contour of the plate.So the corner holes are part of the topology of the plate, meaning that the corner holesalways remain at the corners of the plate, even when one of its boundaries has beenmoved.

Let's create the plate by selecting the toolbar icon "Create plate":

After selecting this icon, you enter the values for 'Thickness' and 'Thicknessdirection' in panel "Plate thickness and type of material":

This plate has a thickness of 10 mm and the thickness direction is from CL. Ignore thevalue for 'Shift of working plane', press the 'OK' button and specify the plateboundaries.



The boundaries of the plate will be defined as follows: Start with the aft boundary of the plate defined by the minimum length. Select the

'Min. Length' button and enter value 22+9 in the entry box. The value +9 has to dowith the thickness of the aft bulkhead;

Add the corner hole with radius 50 mm to the aft boundary by selecting option 'Cutout' and entering the value 50 for the radius in the entry box:

The next boundary is the hull line, which can be defined by indicating a point near andinside the hull line; The next boundary is the forward boundary defined by the maximum length. Select

the 'Max. Length' button and enter value 29+50 in the entry box;

The last boundaries are the lower decks "Deck 3500", consisting of two deck plateswith different thicknesses: First select the forward deck plate by indicating a few millimeters below this plate; Secondly select the aft most deck plate by indicating a few millimeters below this

plate; Add the corner hole with radius 50 mm to the last boundary by selecting option

'Cutout' and entering the value 50 for the radius in the entry box.

By selecting the 'Ok' button the plate "Long. bulkhead 3960" will be created.



1.12.3 Create hard seams

Now you will split aft plate "Long. bulkhead 3960" in two smaller plates by means of "Splitplate".

Let's spit plate "Long. bulkhead 3960" vertically at the position of frame 26 minus 50 mm

Select the toolbar icon "Change Plates":

Select from panel "Plates" option icon "Split plate":

There is only one option for splitting plates, this is used for horizontal as well as verticalsplitting.

According to the hint "Indicate plate or seam" you select plate "Long. bulkhead 3960" byindicating inside the plate near the hull line. Enter the position of the weld by means ofpanel "Split part":

For both horizontal and vertical splitting, you only need to enter one point. By using twodifferent points, you will split the plate slant wise.

Note: According to the hint "Indicate plate or seam" you can also indicate an existing



seam. In that case the plate will be splitsing the popositionf the selected seam.

You will the plate at frame 26 minus 50 mm by entering value 26-50 for 'Point 1' within

column 'length'.

By selecting the 'OK' button , the plate "Long. bulkhead 3960" will be split in two plates.

1.12.4 Thickness text

You will place thickness text including part numbers on all three plates.

choose from the toolbar "draw" the icon dimensions:

Select the toolbar icon "Thickness text" to place thickness text on plates:

As a standard, you will also get a part number symbol.

follow the instruction given in the hint "Indicate plate" and select either the forward ormid plate by indicating a point on in the concerning plate.

1.12.5 Change thickness plates

You have to change the thickness of the mid plate "Long. bulkhead 3960" from 10 into12 mm.



If you want to modify plates, you select the toolbar icon "Change plates":

After selecting this icon the panel "Plates" is displayed:

This panel contains ten plate modification options. During the basic training course, youwill use the following three options:

Change thickness

Change plate

Undo plate change

Let's change the thickness of the mid plate by selecting option icon "Change thickness":

According to the hint "Indicate construction part or bracket" you select the mid plate"Long. bulkhead 3960". The current thickness of the selected part is displayed within thehint area: "Thickness of selected part 10".

By means of panel "Select plates" you can change both the thickness direction and thethickness.

In this situation only the thickness needs to be changed by selecting option 'Thickness'and entering value 12 in the input box:



By selecting the 'OK' button, the thickness of the mid plate "Long. bulkhead 3960" willbe changed.

1.12.6 Change plates (1)

Since the aft plate "Long. bulkhead 3960" has not been created using the option "Createplate" and is a result of splitting, you have to add the missing corner hole(see thedrawing) at low right corner of the plate afterwards.You can add this corner hole with radius 75 mm by modifying the aft plate.

Select the toolbar icon "Change plates":

Select from panel "Plates" option icon "Change plate":



According to the hint "Indicate construction part that has to be modified" you select theaft plate "Long. bulkhead 3960".

After selecting this plate you will be presented with an overview of theboundaries/relations of the selected plate in the panel "Relations overview":

You will also be presented with the panel "Modify a plate contour":

You can select a relation by either pointing at one of the plate boundaries in thegraphical screen or by selecting one from the list of panel "Relations overview". When arelation is selected by pointing at a plate boundary, it will also be selected in the list.When a relation is selected from the list, the boundary belonging to this relation ishighlighted on the graphical screen. If applicable the current boundary properties arepresented in panel "Modify a plate contour".

For example if you select the aft most plate boundary, relation 4 within panel "Relationsoverview" will be highlighted and the concerning properties 'Min. length' with value22+9 and 'Cutout' with value 50 are displayed within panel "Modify a plate contour".



Let's add a corner hole with radius 75 mm to the aft plate "Long. bulkhead 3960".

According to the hint "Indicate relation to be changed", you have to select the relation formodification. Taking in account the general rule that the plate boundaries have beendefined counterclockwise and the desired position of the corner hole, you select thehull line. The relation will be highlighted in panel "Relations overview":

You add the corner hole to the selected boundary by entering value "75" for 'Cutout':

You can get a preview of the result by selecting the 'Compute' button, the panel"Relations overview" will be updated according( see relation 6 ) at the same time:



Note: The corner hole will always be placed at the end of the concerning relation!

Please select the 'OK' button to accept your modification of plate "Long. bulkhead3960".

1.12.7 Dimension holes(2)

The dimensioning of holes is similar to the dimensioning of standard hole 850/450.

To dimension the small ventilation and draining holes, you should not click inside thehole but just outside of it. Both the arrow and the dimension will be placed outside thehole. This functionality will be explained by means of the following figure:

The arrow with the hole dimension will be drawn from the center of the hole through theindication point. Thus the arrow direction depends on the indication point just outside thehole, for example point 1 or point 2.

You can always use the hot key <DEL> to remove the last placed dimension if you arenot satisfied with the result, without aborting the option itself and you can directly select anew proper place for the dimension of the hole. Furthermore during this option you canzoom in or out by using respectively hot key <1> and hot key <3> or by using the toolbaroptions.

1.12.8 Parts info (1)

It is already evident that the thickness of mid plate "Long. bulkhead 3960" has been



changed from 10 into 12 mm, because you have placed the actual thickness on this plateby using the toolbar icon "Thickness text". Another possibility to check the thickness,dimensions, etc. of construction parts is to retrieve parts information by using the toolbaricon "ATT ?".

Select the toolbar icon "ATT?":

According to the hint "Select item" you select the mid plate "Long. bulkhead 3960" byclicking inside this plate. The system displays the panel "3D-Item information" withgeometric information about this plate:

This geometric information is related to the position of the selected item. By using the 'Highlight' button, you can verify to which item the presented information belongs: theselected item will be highlighted in the graphical screen.

Besides geometric information for an item, also logistical information, attributeinformation and additional information can be retrieved by using the buttons 'Logistics','Attributes' and 'Extra'. Information about these options can be found in part three"Specific options".



1.13 Frame 29


Start situation

You will switch to frame view "Frame 29".

If you take a look at the drawing, you will see three plates: One lower plate with thickness 12 mm; Two upper plates with thickness 10 mm.

As far as the upper plates are concerned, you will not create two single plates but onebig plate instead and divide this into two plates by using arrows. These arrows have thesame kind of functionality as placing seams does. This means that during the codingprocess the plate will be split according to the used arrows. This offers you a highflexibility; If the transverse bulkhead should be continuous instead of the longitudinalbulkhead, you just remove the stopping arrow and place a continuous one.

3. Place standard text "Frame 29" above view

Place standard text "Frame 29" above view is smiler to place standard text "Deck 6200above base" above view. Please select from panel "Text menu" the text "Frame 29".



4. Create lower plate "Bulkhead Fr. 29" with thickness 12 mm

The creation of the lower plate "Bulkhead Fr. 29" contains the following steps:

The creation of this plate with thickness 12 mm is similar to the creation of plate "Deck3500" with the following plate boundaries:

Option Value

Indicate the hull lineIndicate the lower deckIndicate the longitudinal bulkhead 3960

'Max. Height' 2785

'Min. Breadth' 3920

5. Create one upper plate "Bulkhead Fr. 29" with thickness 10 mm

The creation of plate "Bulkhead Fr. 29" with thickness 10 mm is similar to the creation ofplate "Deck 6200" with the following plate boundaries:

Option Value

'Min. Breadth' 3950

Indicate the lower deckIndicate the hull lineIndicate the upper deck

7. Switch to the longitudinal view "108-6600" to see the contra arrows

open drawing side view "108-6600" by means of indicating the longitudinal bulkhead witharrows within the current drawing.Please select 'Update Active block' in order to see the contra arrows. These contraarrows are continuous arrows.

8. Return back to the previous view "108-29"

open drawing frame view "108-29" by means of indicating the longitudinal bulkhead witharrows within the current drawing.



9. Code plate "Bulkhead Fr. 29" to check the division of this plate in two plates

Coding one plate "Bulkhead Fr. 29" is similar to coding plate "Deck 6200". You can verifythat this plate is indeed split up into two single plates.

1.13.2 Load drawing (3)

To open a drawing you have to select the toolbar icon "Open drawing":

When the current drawing does not contain actual construction parts belonging to thedrawing you want to open, it is of course not possible to open such a drawing byindicating a construction part. In this case you have to select the drawing from the menu.To get this menu you just click somewhere in an area on the screen where noconstruction exists and the menu appears.

Here you want to switch from side view "108-3960" to frame view "108-29". So far youhave not created any construction part within frame 29 and therefore you click in anempty area within side view "108-3960". The system will display panel "open drawing":



Please select 'Frame' in this panel as the type of view and the drawing 108-29 from thelist. The system will open this drawing and display it.

1.13.3 Stopping arrows

Now you will divide the upper plate "Bulkhead Fr. 29" into two single plates by using thearrows of type "Stopping".

Select the toolbar icon "Arrows":

After selecting this icon the panel "Slots" is displayed:

This panel contains six types of arrows. During the basic training course, you will see



examples of the following types:

Continuous

Stopping

Egg box

Let's split the upper plate "Bulkhead Fr. 29" at the position of 6600 from CL by selectingoption icon "Stopping arrows":

According to the hint "Indicate line" you select the vertical line at the position of 6600from CL, which represents the longitudinal bulkhead "Long. bulkhead 6600". Thestopping arrows will be located at the indicated position. You complete the action byclosing the panel

When you zoom in on the arrow, you will see that it contains a blue line symbol:

This indicates that the arrow is a 3D arrow, meaning that during coding the plate will besplit.

When the arrow does not have this blue line symbol then it is considered as a 2Ddrawing symbol. This type of arrows appear f.i. when you place a stopping arrow on aplate in block, which divides two plates in plan view with different thicknesses.

1.14 Frame 29


As a side step within this training course, you will use "egg box" arrows instead of"stopping" arrows.

Below you will find an example of what is meant with the egg box system:



This egg box system is mainly used in double bottoms to reduce the number of parts andto reduce man hours during fabrication.

By means of coding plate "Bulkhead Fr. 29", you will examine the difference betweendifferent types of arrows. By removing the arrows of type "egg box" and placing arrowsof type "stopping", you will return back to the initial situation.


1. Remove arrows of type "stopping" by using remove construction parts2. Place arrows of type "egg box"3. Code plate "Bulkhead Fr. 29"4. Remove arrows of type "egg box" 5. Return to the original situation by placing arrows of type "stopping"


4. Remove arrows of type "egg box"

Removing arrows of type "egg box" is similar to removing arrows of type "stopping"



5. Return to the original situation and place arrow of type "stopping"

Placing arrows of type stopping is already explained within the previous training step.

1.14.2 Remove construction parts

Now you will remove the "stopping" arrows belonging to the plate "Bulkhead Fr. 29". Thesystem will automatically remove the contra arrows of type "continuous" belonging toplate "Long. bulkhead 6600".

To remove construction parts from a drawing, you select the toolbar icon "Removeconstruction":

By means of panel "Remove items" you can select the item(s) to be removed:

The upper part of this panel until option 'Highlight' contains the already explainedstandard options for selecting items within NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull. In complicatedsituations it might be hard to select the appropriate items within the drawing. In order tomake it more easier to select items on graphical screen you can select the type of



concerning items to be removed first, by means of the 'pull down' menu on the panel"Remove items"

By selecting an item type, you make sure that only items of the same type will beselectable. The default item type is 'Any', meaning that items of all types will beselectable.

The 'OK' button is used to remove the selected items .

Let's remove the "stopping" arrows.

Because it's easy to select the arrows within the drawing, you accept the defaultselection method 'Cross hair', the default selection 'Select' and the default item type'Any'. Check the selection by using the 'Highlight' button if needed and select the 'OK'button to remove the arrows.

Note: The last removal can be undone by means of selecting "Edit" -> "Undo" from themenu or using the hot key "Ctrl+z"

1.14.3 Eggbox arrows

After removing "stopping" arrows, you will place arrows of type "egg box" within plate"Bulkhead Fr. 29" at the position of 6600 from CL.



Select the toolbar icon "Arrows":

Select from panel "Slots" the third option icon "Egg box":

According to the hint "Indicate line" you select the line at the position of 6600 from CL,which represents the longitudinal bulkhead "Long. bulkhead 6600". The egg box arrowswill be placed on the indicated line.

1.14.4 Code plate (2)

By coding plate "Bulkhead Fr. 29" you will understand the use of these egg box arrows.

To code this plate you select "CAM" -> "Code plate" from the menu and indicate plate"Bulkhead Fr. 29". The procedure is similar to coding plate "Deck 6200". Therefore onlythe result of the coding process will be explained here.

The coded part is displayed below:



You see that the bulkhead "Bulkhead Fr. 29" is one plate again, but it has a slot at theposition of the longitudinal bulkhead "Long. bulkhead 6600".

The longitudinal bulkhead will have the contra slot, so the two plates can be shifted intoeach other.

Note: You can check the existence of this contra slot in plate "Long. bulkhead 6600" bycoding this plate in the drawing "108-6600" of the side view as well:



1.15 Frame 29


Start situation

After the creation of one lower plate and two upper plates, you will add the followingconstruction parts: The upper stiffeners HP 220 x 10 between the decks "Deck 3500" and "Deck 6200"; The lower stiffeners HP 220 x 10 between the hull and the lower deck "Deck 3500"; The transverse deck beam HP 140 x 8; A bracket between deck beam and transverse bulkhead "Bulkhead Fr. 29".Finally you will dimension the decks, deck beam, bulkhead and stiffeners.

After finishing this view, you will return to the longitudinal section "Long. section 3960 offcl" to finish that view.

End situation


5. Create the upper stiffener at 7250 from CL

The creation of one upper stiffener at 7250 from CL is similar to the creation of upperstiffeners at 4620, 5280 and 5940 off CL with the following properties:



'Body size' 220

'Thickness' 10

1.15.2 Create vertical profiles (2)

Before you can make the upper stiffeners take a look at the second sheet drawing. Thissheet contains the longitudinal blocks 4620, 5280 and 5940 off centerline with details ofthe stiffeners on bulkhead of frame 29.

During the creation process of these stiffeners you will deliberately make somemistakes in order to practice the modification of these stiffeners afterwards!



You will create the upper stiffeners HP 220 x 10 at 4620, 5280 and 5940 from CL in oneaction.

Select the toolbar icon "Create profile":

Select from panel "Profiles" option icon "Vertical profiles":

You specify the type of profile and it's position by means of panel "Create profile":

Because you are already familiar with the meaning of the options within this panel, only



the values of these options will be given here: The type of profile is "HP" or "Bulb" and therefore the following option icon is selected:

The size of the profiles is HP 220 x 10, thus the values for 'Body size' and'Thickness' are 220 and 10;

The first and last profile are respectively located at 4620 and 5940 from CL, thus thevalues for 'From breadth' and 'To breadth' are 4620 and 5940. Now you cancontinue by either entering the step size or giving the number of items. Of course youcan calculate the step size, but it's easier to use the number of items. So enter value 3

for 'Number of items'. Then the step size will be automatically calculated by theprogram;

For now accept the presented default values 'From reversed frame' and 'TowardsCL' for the options 'Body direction' and 'Thickness direction'. Later on you willverify these directions. If these directions turn out to be wrong, you will use the profilemodification options;

The type of material of the profiles will be the standard material 'GR-A'.

After selecting the 'OK' button, you have to specify the length of the profile by definingit's start and endpoint. It's preferable to start with the lower end.

First you determine the lower end of the profile by means of panel "Border value":

According to the hint "Indicate 1st relation" you select the lower deck "Deck 3500" byindicating a fraction above this deck. Although the vertical distance should be 0 mm, youwill leave it at 40 mm. Then you need to select the end shape: the correct one should betype 'C' but select 'A' for now, please.

Secondly you determine the upper end of the profile by means of panel "Border value":



According to the hint "Indicate 2nd relation" you select the upper deck "Deck 6200" byindicating a fraction below this deck. The vertical distance is indeed 40 mm. Pleaseselect type 'A' as the second end shape.

After selecting the second end shape, three profiles of type HP 220 x 10 will be createdat 4620, 5280 and 5940 from CL.

1.15.3 Change endtype of profiles

As you know the three upper profiles HP 220 x 10 have been created with the followingfaults: These profiles have the wrong direction; At the lower end these profiles are too short; At the lower end these profiles have the wrong end types.

Now you will modify these profiles by selecting the 'Change' button from panel"Profiles", which is still available on the screen:

Another possibility is to select the icon "Change profiles" from the toolbar:



The following change panel "Profiles" will be presented:

This panel contains a lot of modification options. During the basic training course, youwill use the following options:

Change end type of profile

Change direction of profile inview

Lengthen profile to line

Lengthen profile

Shift profile

Change size/type of profile inview

Turn profile

Let's start with the modification of the end types by selecting option icon "Change endtype profiles":

By means of panel "Profiles selection" you select the profiles by using the defaultselection method 'Clump':



You make a box around the lower ends of the profiles in such a way that the end flagsare included within this box. After selecting all three ends, you select the 'OK' button.

Now select the correct end type from panel "Change end shapes":

In this case choose end type "C":

This end shape contains a small welding hole in the corner. You enter the value "35" forthe radius of this hole with in the presented panel "End type":

After selecting the 'OK' button, the lower end shapes of the profiles will be modified fromtype "A" into type "C".



1.15.4 Change direction of profiles in view

Now you will change the direction of the three created upper profiles HP 220 x 10.

You can see that the profiles are displayed as continuous lines, meaning that the profilesare located on the aft side of the bulkhead. But when you look at the drawing, you willnotice that the profiles are on the front side of the bulkhead, which are illustrated withdashed lines.

Within panel "Change profiles", which is still available on the screen, there are twooptions for changing the direction of profiles:

Change direction of profile inblock

Change direction of profile inview

The first option is used for profiles in block, like the following one:

The second option is used for profiles in view as illustrated here below:



Since the upper profiles are profiles in view, you select the option icon "Direction profilesin view" from panel "Change profiles":

By means of panel "Profiles selection" you select the profiles by using the defaultselection method 'Conflict':



You select the three upper profiles. After selecting these, the profiles will be highlightedfor a short time.

The lower part of this panel offers two modification options: 'Body direction' and 'Thickness direction' and the 'OK' button to carry out the modification(s).

In this case the thickness direction of the profiles is correct since they are pointing to CL,but the body direction is not.Check 'Body direction' and uncheck 'Thickness direction' and select the 'OK' button tochange the body direction of the selected profiles.

1.15.5 Lengthen profiles to line

Regarding the three upper profiles HP 220 x 10, the length of these profiles is still wrong.At the lower end these profiles are 40 mm too short.

Within panel "Change profiles" two options are available for modifying the length ofprofiles:



Lengthen profile

Lengthen profile to line

The first option "Lengthen profile" modifies the length of the profile with a fixed value;positive for lengthening and negative for shortening, whereas the second option"Lengthen profile to line" modifies the length of the profile by means of a reference line;By selecting a reference line the profile will be extended or reduced to this line.

You will now select the option "Lengthen profiles to line" from panel "Change profiles":

You select the profiles by using the default selection method 'Clump' in panel "Extendprofiles":

Because the profiles must be extended at the lower ends, you make a box around theselower ends in such a way that the end flags are included within this box. After selectingthese profiles select the 'OK' button.

According to the hint "Indicate relation to which should be extended" you select the upperside of the deck "Deck 3500". And you accept the value "0" for "Vertical distance" fromthis relation within panel "Extend profiles":



Select the 'OK' button to extend the upper profiles to the lower deck "Deck 3500".

1.15.6 Lengthen profiles

Looking at the lower profiles HP 220 x 10 at 4620, 5280 and 5940 off CL you will noticethat these profiles have been positioned with 40 mm distance from upper end to the deckwhile there should not be any distance between the profiles and the deck. To fix thissituation you are going to use the change options once more in order to lengthen theprofiles by 40 mm.

Select the 'Change' button from panel "Profiles" or the toolbar icon "Change profiles":

You will use the option "Lengthen profiles" now (which modifies the length of profiles witha fixed value) instead of the option "lengthen profiles to line".

Select from panel "Change profiles" the option icon "Lengthen profiles":

Now you are presented with the panel "Extend profiles" as here below:



To select the lower profiles you make a box around the upper ends in such a way thatthe end flags are partially included within this box. To extend the selected profiles, youenter "40" as value for 'Extension' and select the 'OK' button to lengthen the profiles.

The lower profiles HP 220 x 10 will be extended by 40 mm with the result that they arenow touching the lower deck "Deck 3500" now.

Note: A negative value would shorten the profile.

1.15.7 Shift profiles

Although the lower stiffener HP 140 x 8 at 6600 from CL looks correct, it's position is notin line with the bulkhead "Long. bulkhead 6600" due to a difference in thicknessdirection. The thickness directions of the bulkhead and the stiffener are defined asrespectively "From CL" and "Towards CL".

You can bring the lower stiffener in line with bulkhead by shifting the stiffener 10 mm tostarboard :

Select the 'Change' button from panel "Profiles" or the toolbar icon "Change profiles":



Select from panel "Change profiles" the option "Shift profiles":

You select the profile by using the default selection method 'Cross hair' within panel"Shift profiles":

By checking the option 'Profile on plate' you make sure the profile stays on the sameplane as the plate to which it belongs.

To shift the selected profile 10 mm to starboard, you enter value "10" for 'Breadth' andselect the 'OK' button, the profile will be shifted 10 mm to the outside.

Note: After shifting the lower stiffener HP 140 x 8, it will keep all it's relations, meaningthat e.g. the distance to the hull line will remain 40 mm, due to the fact that thisstiffener is topological!

1.15.8 Create profiles in view



There is still a transverse deck beam to be created. So far all deck beams have beencreated in the top view of the upper deck, the reasons for this are; the possibility tocreate a series of profiles in that view and also that you should always try to complete aview as much as possible while you are working on that view.Now you will create the transverse deck beam in the current frame view by using theoption "profiles in view" from the "Profiles panel":

Please select from toolbar the option "Create profile":

Now select the third option "Profiles in view" from panel "Profiles":

According to the hint "Indicate the hull line/plate" you select the upper deck plate. Bymeans of panel "Create profile" you specify the type of profile and it's directions:

The selected profile size and the presented directions are correct and therefore you



select the 'OK' button to accept these. Now you are able to define the first and secondrelation of this profile.

Since there are no plates or profiles available around centerline that could be used asrelation for the first limitation you need to enter the value 100 for "Breadth value" in panel"Border value" to define the first limitation at 100 mm from centreline:

You define the end type for this end by selecting type "C" as the first end shape:

The welding hole of this end shape has a radius of 35 mm:

Select the 'OK' button within panel "End type" to accept the first limitation.

Now you specify the second relation by indicating the existing upper bulkhead "BulkheadFr. 29" on the left hand side of it as shown below:



The horizontal distance from the bulkhead within panel "Border value" will be 40 mm:

Finally you define the end type by selecting type "A" as the second end shape:

Now also the second limitation is determined, resulting in the creation of the transversedeck beam HP 140 x 8.

Note: The option "Profiles in view" has one restriction: you can only create one profileat a time!

1.15.9 Create brackets type A

You will now create a standard bracket of type A between deck beam HP 140 x 8 andthe upper transverse bulkhead "Bulkhead Fr. 29".

Select "Create bracket" from the toolbar:

The system will display panel "Brackets", which contains default bracket types delivered



by NCG:

The brackets provided by NCG are as follows:1. Standard brackets;2. Brackets "fit to the situation".

The "Standard brackets" have fixed dimensions, meaning that the user can only selectthe bracket dimensions from predefined lists with standard dimensions. The followingbrackets belong to this group:

Bracket type 750

Bracket type 751

Bracket type 752

Bracket type 753

Bracket type 754

Bracket type 755

Bracket type 770

All the other brackets belong to group "Brackets fit to the situation" and have no fixeddimensions. The user can either accept the presented default dimensions or specify hisown dimensions.

Now you will create the bracket between deck beam HP 140 x 8 and the uppertransverse bulkhead "Bulkhead Fr. 29". In this situation you need to use standardbracket "A" with overlapping on one side at the deck beam. On the other side the bracketwill touch the bulkhead.

Select bracket type A:



As the first hint suggests; "Indicate a part (or profile, to where no overlap)" you indicatethe bulkhead at a position just inside of the plate. Then a second hint "Indicate profile atposition where overlap has to be placed" is displayed. Because the overlap should beplaced at the deck beam, you indicate the deck beam at a position just below this beam.

The locations of both indication points are illustrated in the figure below:

By indicating the bulkhead and deck beam you define the first and second relation of thebracket. After defining all relations of the brackets, you will be presented with the mainpanel for the selected bracket type "Bracket type 750" :

For this bracket type the system automatically calculates the bracket dimensionsaccording to the profile height, and displays them for 'Enter width of bracket', 'Enterdimension of bracket along overlapping part' and 'Enter thickness of bracket'. Eachstandard set of dimensions has a predefined part number, which is presented as 'Standards'. Please select the 'OK' button to accept the settings for "Bracket type 750":

The bracket will be created with the part number "2" and the panel number "YA":



1.15.10 Reposition text

You will reposition the standard text "Frame 29" above the view in order to createenough space for the placement of dimensions as shown on the drawing.

Before you can actually reposition text "Frame 29" the view needs to be shifted down byusing the function "PAN":

Hot key: <Ctrl>

Press this button <Ctrl> and shift the view by means of the mouse at the same time todrag the view to the desired location.

Now there is enough space above the view to reposition text "Frame 29" by using thefollowing method: Select the text by positioning the cross hair over the text and press the <SPACE>

bar: the selected text will be highlighted; Press the hot key <z> and move up the text a little bit by using the mouse to drag the

text to the desired position;

Use the toolbar icon "Full screen" to get the drawing presented in full screen:

Hot key: <5>



1.15.11 Check deck beam at portside

1.15.11.1 Check deck beam at portside

As a side step within this training course, you will check if your colleagues working atport side have used the same deck beam so that the situation at 100 mm from centerlinefits with each other.

In order to check if your colleagues at port side have used the same deck beam, youhave to check if the same deck beam and end cut has been used at port side.


1. Check properties of deck beam "Transverse beam Fr. 29 Deck 6200" at port side

1.15.11.2 Parts info (2)

You will check if the deck beam at port side has the same dimensions as the one youhave created at starboard and that these deck beams fit to each other.

Please zoom in on centerline by using hot key <1> and you can see that on port side thedeck beams are too short. This is a nice way of checking if blocks fit to each other.

Now you will check if the same dimensions and end types have been used for this deckbeam by using the toolbar icon "ATT?":



According to the hint "Select item" you select the deck beam at port side. The systemdisplays the panel "3D-Item information" with geometric information about this deckbeam:

It's clear that your colleagues working at the port side have used the same deck beamdimensions "HP140x8".

To check which end type has been used, you select option 'EXTRA' from panel "3D-Iteminformation":



In this case the used end type "C" is the correct one.

After checking the deck beam at port side, you return to the full screen again by usingtoolbar icon "Full screen":

Hot key: <5>

1.15.12 Horizontal / vertical dimensions

1.15.12.1 Horizontal / vertical dimensions

Start situation

Now you will dimension longitudinal girder, the longitudinal bulkhead, the stiffeners andthe lower and upper bulkhead from centerline using horizontal short dimensions. Thelower and upper deck will be dimensioned using vertical short dimensions.


1. Dimension longitudinal girder, longitudinal bulkhead and stiffeners from CL2. Dimension lower and upper bulkhead from CL 3. Dimension lower and upper deck

End situation


2. Dimension lower and upper bulkhead from CL

Dimension the lower and upper bulkhead from centerline is similar to dimensionlongitudinal girder, longitudinal bulkhead and stiffeners from centerline.



1.15.12.2 Dimension horizontal short

You will provide the longitudinal girder, the longitudinal bulkhead and the stiffeners withhorizontal short dimensions from centerline.


Then select the toolbar icon "Dimension horizontal":

You specify the type of dimension by means of panel "Dimension":

According to the hint "Give item where measure start" you will start with dimensioning thelongitudinal girder by selecting it. The cursor position will snap to the end of this girder.Then a second hint "Give place from measure position" is displayed according to whichyou should indicate a position where the dimension stops; please indicate a position



above the upper deck. Now the dimension will be added to the drawing.

Again the hint "Give item where measure start" is shown, meaning that you can selectthe stiffeners and the longitudinal bulkhead one by one . The positions of thesedimensions are based on the given position (second point defined above the upper deck)during the dimensioning of the first item: all dimensions are placed in line with the firstdimension.

In order to change the position where the dimension stops you should select the option'Short measure' in the panel 'Dimension' which enables you to define a new position forthe next following dimensions to be placed.

Note: During dimensioning you can always use the zoom and pan options including hotkey <DEL>, due to the feature that you will remain within the selected dimensioningoption! The functionality of hot key <DEL> during dimensioning is to remove the lastdimension, you have added to the drawing.

1.15.12.3 Dimension vertical short

You will add vertical short dimensions from the baseline to the lower and upper deck.


Select the toolbar icon "Dimension vertical":




Starting with the lower deck you select the lower deck "Deck 3500" near the end andindicate the location for the position of the dimension just outside the hull line.

By selecting the upper deck "Deck 6200" you will place a dimension in line with the firstdimension. Since the position of this dimension is not as it should be you can remove thisby using hot key <DEL>. Hot key <DEL> stands for killing the last command orperformed action.

To define a new position where at the dimension stops you should select the option'Short measure' in the panel 'Dimension' which enables you to define a new position forthe next following dimensions after which you can start adding the dimension of theupper deck "Deck 6200" to the drawing.

1.15.13 Profile dimensions

1.15.13.1 Profile dimensions

Start situation



To complete the current drawing, you will add the size of the deck beam and thestiffeners. You will also practice additional profile dimensioning options, like addingprofile symbols to the lower stiffeners and placing profile part number symbols.


1. Dimension transverse deck beam2. Dimension upper stiffeners at 4620, 5280 and 5940 off CL in one action3. Dimension lower stiffeners at 4620, 5280 and 5940 off CL in one action 4. Dimension lower stiffener at 6600 off CL5. Dimension upper stiffener at 7250 off CL6. Add profile symbols to lower stiffeners7. Place profile part number symbols to all stiffeners

End situation


3. Dimension lower stiffeners at 4620, 5280 and 5940 off cl in one step

Dimension lower stiffeners at 4620, 5280 and 5940 off cl in one step is similar to dimension upper stiffeners at 4620, 5280 and 5940 off cl in one step.

1.15.13.2 Profile size (1)

You will dimension the deck beam HP 140 x 8 by placing a reference with both the sizesof the deck beam and the part number on this beam.

Select from the toolbar "draw" the symbols icon:

The following options are available within the toolbar for dimensioning profiles:



"Profile sizeperpendicular""Profile size parallel"

The main difference between this options is the way how the text is placed: Option "Profile size perpendicular" will position the text always perpendicular to the

profile; Option "Profile size parallel" will position the text always parallel to the profile.

After selecting one of the toolbar icons "Profile size perpendicular" or "Profile sizeparallel" the hint "Select item" appears. According to this hint you can select a profile orbracket to add it's dimension.Another possibility of this option is to place user defined text. This can be achieved byselecting an empty area on the screen and you will be presented with panel "Place text"as follows:

In case of a selected profile or bracket it's size could be presented along with the partnumber and the part number symbol depending on the certain setting concerning thispresentation;

There are two methods by which you could determine whether a part number symbolshould be presented while dimensioning :1. You can switch the part number symbols on or off for the whole project by means of

the application "System Management";2. You can switch the part number symbols on or off for a block by selecting "Settings"

-> " Block properties" -> "Part symbol" from the menu.

Ad 2: By selecting "Settings" -> "Part symbol" from the menu, the system will displaypanel "Partsymbol settings":



Within this panel you can select the appropriate option and accept it by selecting the'OK' button.

Now you will dimension the deck beam according to the drawing by selecting the toolbaricon "Profile size parallel":

As the hint "Select item" suggests you select the beam and the dimension appears withthe optional part number symbol. The position of the dimension can be determined bypulling this dimension to the outside of the beam and indicating a point using the mouse,where the dimension will be placed.

If the angle between the indicated point at the beam and the endpoint of the dimensionline is less than 15 degrees, the pointing arrow will be placed perpendicular to thedimension line. But in cases where the angle is greater than 15 degrees the pointingarrow will be placed according to the direction of a straight line between the indicationpoint at the beam and the endpoint of the dimension line.

The following example illustrates the described behaviour regarding the dimensioning ofprofiles, based on the following initial situation with an indication point on the profile andtwo different end points 1 and 2 outside the profile:

The result of selecting each endpoint is shown in the two figures below:



In both situations the end points are located at the right side of the indication point. Itworks in the same way if the end points are at the left side of the indication point; thepointing arrow will be placed perpendicular to the dimension line if the angle betweenthe endpoint of the dimension line and the indication point is less than -15 degrees fromthe vertical line through the indication point.

1.15.13.3 Profile size series

If you take a look at the upper stiffeners HP 220 x 10 in the sheet drawing, you will noticethat the three stiffeners, located at 4620, 5280 and 5940 off CL, are dimensioned byusing one dimension text. Now you will practice this option by dimensioning a series ofprofiles.

Select from the toolbar "draw" the icon Symbols::

Let's dimension the upper stiffeners at 4620, 5280 and 5940 off CL by selecting toolbaroption "Profile size series":



According to the hint "Indicate starting-point of check-line" you indicate just inside of thestiffener, located at 4620 off cl. Upon the second hint "Indicate end of check-line" youindicate just outside of the stiffener, located at 5940 off cl. After indicating both pointsyou can position the profile dimension by using the mouse. The result will be as follows:

Warning: Be aware of the fact that all the profiles to be dimensioned should be of thesame type and sizes otherwise you it could cause some confusion, for example;if dimension all four lower profiles using this option the system will display asprofile size HP 220 x 10 for all stiffeners, although the profile size of the stiffenerat 6600 off HP 140 x 8! Therefore be careful with this option.


You will dimension the lower stiffener at 6600 off CL by using another option fordimensioning profiles, which has already been mentioned in one of the previous topics,namely "Profile size perpendicular".

Select the toolbar icon "Profile size perpendicular":

According to the hint "Select item" you select the lower stiffener, located at 6600 off cl,and drag de dimension to the outside of the hull line. Place the profile dimension at thedesired position by using the mouse-left button:




Another possibility of profile dimensioning is adding only the profile size to the selectedprofile without the part number symbol and the part number itself. Although this option isnot shown on the drawing, you will use it to dimension the upper stiffener HP 220 x 10 at7250 off cl.

Let's dimension the upper stiffener at 7250 off CL by selecting the toolbar icon "Profilesize parallel":

According to the hint "Select item" you select the upper stiffener, located at 7250 off CL.Now you don't pull the dimension outside of the stiffener like you did during dimensioningof the deck beam, but you remain on top of the stiffener. By clicking the mouse-leftbutton at that position, now the stiffener is provided with a dimension as it is shown inthe figure below, without any part number and part number symbol:



1.15.13.6 Profile symbols

Another profile dimensioning option, not applied on the drawing, offers you the ability toadd a profile symbol to a specific profile. Within this training step you will add profilesymbols to the three lower stiffeners HP 220 x 10 and the remaining lower stiffener HP140 x 8.

Select "draw" -> "symbol" -> "profile symbol" From the menu

Following the hint "Indicate profile(s) at positions where profile symbols are to beplaced", you indicate the lower stiffeners one by one. Automatically all profile symbolswill be placed at the same height, because all the stiffeners are attached to the sameplate.

Probably the profile symbol will be placed too low in case of the last stiffener HP 140 x 8.



To avoid this situation, you select from panel "Draw profile symbols" the option 'Placesymbol at new height':

This option offers you the possibility to add the profile symbol on another position thanthe one used for the previous profile symbols. So indicate the lower stiffener HP 140 x 8near the midpoint of it.

1.15.13.7 Profile part number symbols

Finally you will add part number symbols to the upper and the lower stiffeners.

By selecting "Logistics" -> "Profile symbols" from the menu, part number symbolscan be added to the existing profiles within the current drawing.

Part number symbols can be added in two ways:1. Fully automatic;2. Semi automatic.

You can choose between options "Fully automatic" and "Semi automatic" by means ofpanel "Part number menu":

1. Adding profile part number symbols fully automatically

The default presented option 'All' within panel "Part number menu" is used for placingpart number symbols fully automatically. After selecting the 'OK' button all part numbersymbols will appear on the midpoint of the stiffeners. Sometimes the midpoint of thestiffeners will not be the right spot for these symbols. In such cases you can choose forplacing the part numbers semi automatically.



2. Adding profile part number symbols semi automatically

In order to have more control regarding the placement of the part number symbols, youselect option 'By line' from panel "Part number menu". The option 'By line' enables you todraw a straight line across one or more profiles. The part number symbol(s) will beplaced along side of this reference line crossing one or more profiles. Thus you havecontrol over the actual position of the part number symbols.

Note: you can only place one part number symbol per profile using these options.



Start situation

You will return to side view "108-3960" to finish the upper part of this view by adding thefollowing construction parts: The longitudinal bulkhead "Long. bulkhead 3960"; The stiffener HP 200 x 9 at FR30; The longitudinal girder with a flange of 150 mm; A bracket between the flange of the longitudinal girder and the bulkhead "Bulkhead

Fr. 29".


1. open drawing side view "108-3960" 2. Choose "Update active block"3. Create upper plate "Long. bulkhead 3960" with thickness 10 mm 4. Create stiffener at FR30 5. Dimension stiffener at FR30 6. Place thickness text and part number on plate "Long. bulkhead 3960" 7. Create longitudinal girder with a flange of 150 mm8. Create bracket between the flange of the girder and the bulkhead "Bulkhead Fr. 29"

End situation





open drawing side view "108-3960" is similar to open drawing top view "108-6200", butyou should indicate the green line at 3960 off cl, representing the longitudinal bulkhead"Long. bulkhead 3960", within the current frame view "108-29".

3. Create upper plate "Long. bulkhead 3960" with thickness 10 mm

The creation of upper plate "Long bulkhead 3960" with thickness 10 mm is similar to the creation of plate "Deck 6200" with the following plate boundaries:

Option Value

Indicate the upper deckIndicate the bulkhead at FR29Indicate the lower deck

'Max. Length' 31

4. Create stiffener at FR30

The creation of the vertical stiffener HP 200 x 9 is similar to the creation of transversedeck beam at FR28 with the following properties:



'Body size' 200'Thickness' 9'From frame' 30'Body direction' From CL'Thicknessdirection'

From reversed frame


Indicate the lower deck'Vertical distance' 40'1st end shape'





5. Dimension stiffener at FR30

The dimensioning of stiffener HP 200 x 9 is done in a similar way as the dimensioning ofthe transverse deck beam HP 140 x 8 located at frame 29.

6. Place thickness text and part number on plate "Long. bulkhead 3960"

The placement of thickness text and part number on plate "Long. bulkhead 3960" issimilar to the placement of thickness text and part number on the three lower plates ofthis view.

8. Create bracket between the flange of the girder and bulkhead "Bulkhead Fr. 29"

The creation of the bracket between the flange of the girder and the bulkhead "BulkheadFr. 29" is similar to the creation of the bracket between deck beam and transversebulkhead within frame view "Frame 29" with the following properties:


Brackets Selected brackettype

Indicate the bulkhead as firstconstruction partIndicate the flange as secondconstruction part

Bracket type 752 'Standards' 23

Note: Because the indicated construction parts are not profiles, the system can notdetermine automatically a standard bracket with the correct dimensions from thetable of available standard dimensions. Thus the user must select for 'Standards'the appropriate standard bracket "23". The user can also alter the presenteddimensions if he wishes to, by checking the option 'free' and change the values for 'Enter width of bracket', 'Enter height of bracket', 'Enter hole radius' and 'Enterthickness of bracket' within panel "Bracket type 752".

By selecting the 'OK' button, the bracket will be created including part number "23" andpanel number "YA".



1.16.2 Flanged girder

1.16.2.1 Create flanged girder

Now you will create the longitudinal girder with a flange of 150 mm, a so called ' flangedgirder'.

A flanged girder and a T-girder (meaning a plate with a face plate) are not available asstandard construction items within NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull. If you want to create aflanged girder or T-girder, you first need to create a plate and then add a flange or faceplate to that plate, depending on the situation .


1. Create longitudinal girder "Long. bulkhead 3960" with thickness 8 mm2. Create cutouts around deck beams3. Add flange of 150 mm to longitudinal girder "Long. bulkhead 3960"4. Add end type symbol to the flange5. Dimension flange by adding it's size 6. Add the height of the longitudinal girder "Long. bulkhead 3960"7. Code plate "Long. bulkhead 3960" to examine that the longitudinal girder and the

flange are added together and have become one part


5. Dimension flange by adding it's size

The dimensioning of the flange with a body size of 150 mm is done in a similar way asthe dimensioning of the transverse deck beam HP 140 x 8 located at frame 29.

1.16.2.2 Create plates (5)

You will create plate "Long. bulkhead 3960" with thickness 8 mm.

During the creation of this plate the left upper corner hole will be made in the contour ofthe plate. The dimensions at the left upper corner are presented in the figure below:



Let's create the plate by selecting toolbar icon "Create plate":

After selecting this icon, you enter the values for 'Thickness' and 'Thickness direction' inpanel "Plate thickness and type of material":

The plate has a thickness of 8 mm and the thickness direction is from CL. Select the 'OK'button and specify the plate boundaries by means of panel "Define a plate contour":



The boundaries of the plate will be defined as follows: Start with the transverse bulkhead at FR29 as the forward boundary of the plate, which

can be defined by indicating this bulkhead; Add the corner hole with radius 50 mm to this forward boundary by entering the value

"50" for the radius of this cutout for 'Cutout'; The next boundary is the upper deck "Deck 6200", which can be defined by indicating

the deck just underneath of it; Due to the height of the cutout of 50 mm and the corner radius of 40 mm, the start of

the cutout will be defined by a minimum length with a distance of 140 mm from frame22; select 'Min. Length' and enter value "22+140" in the entry box; Add the corner radius of 40 mm to the previous boundary. In this case the corner

radius is specified by selecting option 'Radius of curvature' and entering the value "40"for the radius in the entry box:

The next boundary is determined by the specified height of 50 mm of the cutout. Youcould type a value for 'Max. Height', but it's much better to enter a parallel distance of50 mm from the deck. By using a parallel distance from the deck, this plate boundarywill always be kept related to the deck. This is achieved by clicking first just below thedeck and then entering after option 'Parallel' the corresponding value of "50" in theentry box:



The next boundary is the aft boundary of the plate defined by the minimum length.Select the 'Min. Length' button and enter value "22+9" in the entry box. The value "+9"is the thickness of the attached bulkhead that has been taken to account;

The last boundary is determined by the lower boundary of this plate. Also in this caseit's better to enter a parallel distance from the upper deck instead of entering a valuefor 'Min. Height'. Thus first indicate the upper deck again and afterwards enter afteroption 'Parallel' the value of "400" for the parallel distance in the entry box.

To become a preview of the created plate you select the 'Compute' button. You can notonly visually check the plate contour, but you can also check the defined relations byselecting the 'Show overview' button. The plate relations will appear within panel"Relations overview":

Finally you select the 'OK' button to create plate "Long. bulkhead 3960".

1.16.2.3 Create cutouts type 100

You will make the cutouts around the deck beams.

Select the toolbar icon "Cutouts":

After selecting this icon the panel "Create" is displayed with a couple of cutout types:



In this situation you can use the first cutout type:

By means of panel "Select the cutout" you select one or more profiles by using thedefault selection method 'Clump':

To create cutouts you have to make a box around all the deck beams.

After selecting the 'OK' button, the system will create a cutout for each selected deckbeam.

1.16.2.4 Create flanges (1)

You will add a flange of 150 mm to the already created plate "Long. bulkhead 3960".

To create a face plate or a flange, you select the toolbar icon "Create flanges":



According to the hint "Indicate the side of the plate where the flange/face plate should beplaced" you indicate a point just below the lower boundary of plate "Long. bulkhead3960". Now some arrows appear in the left upper corner of the plate. Those arrowsindicate the contour direction of the plate.

Now you should first define the size of the flange and the direction by means of thefollowing panel:

In this case the body size is 150 mm and the body direction will be from CL. You specifythe start and endpoint of the flange in a similar way as for normal profiles.

According to the hint "Indicate a construction for the start point", you start withdetermining the start point of the flange, taking in to account the contour direction of theplate to which the flange will be attached. Due to the visible direction arrows, it will beclear that the start point will be located at the aft end of the plate. You select the aft endand the text "Starting_point" at the indication point will be presented . Now you specifythe distance from the starting point by entering a value for 'Distance'. Finally you have todefine the end shape for the indicated starting point. From the three presented endshapes for flanges, you select type "B" with a variable angle and nose height:



You enter the values for angle and nose height within panel "End type":

Please accept the default values by selecting the 'OK' button.

Now you determine the end point of the flange as hint "Indicate a construction for theend point" suggests. The end point is located at the front end of the plate. Pleaseindicate a point at the front end and the "Ending_point" will be presented at the indicationpoint :

The end shape with it's properties will be the same as the end shape for the start point.You select end shape type "B" and accept the default values for 'Angle of edge' and 'Nose height' within panel "End type". By selecting the 'OK' button, you have alsodetermined the end point of the flange.

Now both ends of the flange are defined, the flange will be created and added to the



longitudinal girder.

1.16.2.5 Add endtype symbol to flanges

You will add a flag to the created flange in the current side view, which indicates the typeof end shape used. This flag is a 2D symbol and therefore the type of symbol will notautomatically change if the end shape is changed.

You select the "Symbols" button from panel the "Draw":

After selecting "Symbols" button the panel "Symbols" is displayed:

This panel contains various modification options for face plates and flanges.

To add a flag indicating the type of end shape used, you select the following option; "Addend type symbol":

As the hint "Indicate flange/face plate at side where "flag" has to be placed" suggests,you indicate a point near the end of the flange. A symbol indicating the selected endshape will be placed at the location of the end shape.

After indicating the end shape at the specified start point of the flange the followingsymbol will be placed:



By indicating the end shape at the specified end point, the same symbol will be placed atthe end point.

1.16.2.6 Chain measure

In order to show the distance between the flange of the longitudinal girder "Long.bulkhead 3960" and the upper deck "Deck 6200", you will place a vertical dimension.

Select from the toolbar draw the icon Dimensions

Select the toolbar icon "Dimension vertical":




To indicate the height of the longitudinal girder, you will use dimension type 'Chainmeasure'.

The system is asking you by displaying the hint "Give item where measure start" toindicate a point where the measure starts. In this case that can be either the lower sideof the upper deck "Deck 6200" or the upper side of the flange.

Please start indicating the upper side of the flange. Following the second hint "Give itemwhere measure stop" you indicate the opposite side, meaning the lower side of the upperdeck. By dragging the dimension line to a desired position you determine the locationwhere the dimension should be placed.

1.16.2.7 Code plate (3)

By coding plate "Long. bulkhead 3960" you will notice that the longitudinal girder and theflange are added together and have become one part.

To code this plate you select "CAM" -> "Code one part" from the menu and indicate



plate "Long. bulkhead 3960". Because the procedure is similar to coding plate "Deck6200", only the end result of the coding process will be shown here.

The coded part is displayed below:



Start situation

You will return to the upper deck "Deck 6200 above base" to add the missing deckbeams HP 140 x 8 at frame 30, which now can be related to the longitudinal bulkhead"Long. bulkhead 3960".


1. open drawing top view "108-6200"2. Choose "Update active block"3. Take a look at the longitudinal girder you have created at 3960 from CL: you will only

see the plate of the girder and not the flange!4. Make the flange visible by increasing the "face plate view distance"5. Create outer transverse deck beam at FR30 6. Create inner transverse deck beam at FR30 by copying the transverse deck beam at

FR29 and shifting it to FR30

End situation




5. Create outer transverse deck beam at FR30

The outer transverse deck beam at FR30 is created with the following properties:



'Body size' 140'Thickness' 8'From frame' 30'Body direction' Towards base'Thicknessdirection'

From reversed frame


Indicate the longitudinal bulkhead at6600 from cl 1

'Vertical distance' 40'1st end shape'

Border value Limitation Second limitationIndicate the longitudinal bulkhead at3960 from cl


1 : Because the seam will be ignored, you can indicate the seam in order to select thelongitudinal bulkhead "Long. bulkhead 6600".

1.17.2 Set visibility 'Face plate view distance'

Looking at the longitudinal girder you have created at 3960 from C.L., you will only seethe plate of the longitudinal girder and not it's flange. The flange is positioned 400 mmbelow the deck level of 6200. In this case the visibility distance is not big enough. Byincreasing the visibility distance, you will make the flange visible within the current topview "108-6200".



Let's increase the visibility distance by selecting the toolbar icon "DRAW?":

After selecting this icon the panel "108-6200" appears:

Select button 'Visibility' to access the visibility settings, presented within panel "Visibilitysettings":



You need to change the face plate view distance from the default value 100 into at least400. Please enter the value "410" for 'Face plate view distance'. By selecting the 'OK'button from panel "108-6200" the flange will become visible.

1.17.3 Copy items with shift (1)

You will create the inner transverse deck beam at FR30 by copying the existingtransverse deck beam at FR29 and shifting it to FR30.

Select the toolbar icon "Copy items":

By means of panel "Copy items" you select the inner transverse deck beam at frame 29:



Because the selected deck beam must be shifted one frame, you select button 'Shift' andspecify the properties for shifting within panel "Copy items" tab "Shift":

The deck beam will be shifted in length over one frame, therefore you enter the value "1"for 'length', which stands for "1FR". Since only one copy will be made, you don't have to



enter a value for 'Amount' and for option 'Step' . By selecting the 'OK' button, the copycommand will be executed. The result will be the creation of a new deck beam HP 140 x8 at frame 30 with the same properties as the existing deck beam located at frame 29.

See Manual 'Detailed Function Descriptions' for a complete description of these copy andmove functions.

1.18 Frame 23


Start situation

You will switch to frame view "108-23" to add the bracket between deck beam HP 140 x8 and longitudinal bulkhead "Long. bulkhead 6600". Afterwards this bracket will becopied to frame 24, 25, 26, 27 and 30.


1. open drawing frame view "108-23"2. Choose "Update active block"3. Place standard text "Frame 23" above view4. Dimension transverse deck beam 5. Create bracket "A 02" between deck beam and longitudinal bulkhead 6. Create the same brackets at other frame positions by copying the bracket from frame

23 to frame 24, 25, 26, 27 and 30

End situation


4. Dimension transverse deck beam



The dimensioning of the transverse deck beam HP 140 x 8 is done in a similar way asthe dimensioning of the transverse deck beam HP 140 x 8 located at frame 29.

5. Create bracket "A 02" between deck beam and longitudinal bulkhead

The creation of bracket "A 02" between deck beam HP 140 x 8 and longitudinal bulkhead"Long. bulkhead 6600" is similar to the creation of the bracket between deck beam andtransverse bulkhead within frame view "Frame 29" with the following properties:



Indicate the bulkhead as firstconstruction partIndicate the deck beam as secondconstruction part


You accept the default bracket within panel "Bracket type 750" by pressing the 'OK'button. The bracket will be created including the part number "02" and the panel number"YA".

1.18.2 Text (2)

First create additional space above the view by shifting it a little bit down using the"PAN":

Hot key: <Ctrl>

Now there is enough space above the view to place the standard text by selecting thetoolbar icon "TEXT":

After selecting this icon, the cursor will be automatically positioned at the position of thelast used standard text at frame view "Frame 29". If you want to have all standard textsin one line, you can use current control in panel "Text menu" to achieve this.



Select option 'Current control' in panel "Text menu":

Select as standard text "Frame 23" and this text will be placed at the current cursorposition. Now the text "Frame 23" will be at the same spot as the standard text "Frame29" within frame view "108-29".

Please use the toolbar icon "Full screen" to get the drawing presented in full screen:

Hot key: <5>


The standard bracket "A 02" also appears on frame 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 and 30 at thesame position as frame 23. The brackets at these frame positions can be created by



copying the bracket from frame 23. Only the bracket at frame 28 can not be created bycopying the bracket from frame 23, due to a different deck beam size HP 200 x 9 insteadof HP 140 x 8.

Use of the copy command is only successful if the situation atthe place where the parts are copied to is the same as theoriginal place where the parts are copied from

Now you will create the brackets at frame 24, 25, 26, 27 and 30 by copying the bracketfrom frame 23.


Select the bracket by using the default selection method 'Cross hair' within panel "Copyitems":

The selected bracket needs to be copied and shifted therefore you select the 'Shift'button. The properties for shifting the bracket are specified by means of panel "Copyitems".

All options within the tab "Shift" will be explained using the figure below:



This tab contains the following options:

1. 'Shift along axes''; allows the user to enter shift values in all three directions at once;Length, Width and Height.

2. 'Shift along vector' ; enables the user to enter or indicate a vector defining thedirection in which to copy.

3. 'Shift actions' ; these "action counters" indicate the number of entered actions andwhether they were entered correctly ( ) or not ( ).

4. 'Show overview'; this displays or hides the overview of the copy actions to beexecuted (see 'Overview of the entered copy actions').

5. 'Preview' ; this button enables the user to have an impression in the Hull Viewer ofhow the copy action will work out (see also 'Previewing the Copy/Move action').

6. 'Amount'; the number of desired copies can be entered (not available during movingitems). If the desired amount is greater than one, then for at least one of the copyactions a step should be entered which defines the distance between the resultingparts.

Now you will specify the necessary copy commands for the selected bracket by means ofpanel "Copy items" in two steps:1. Determine the copy commands for copying the bracket from frame 23 to frame 24,

25, 26 and 27;2. Add the copy command for copying the bracket from frame 23 to frame 30.

Step 1: "Determine the ´Shift actions´ for copying the bracket from frame 23 to frame24, 25, 26 and 27"



Please enter the following specifications in panel "Copy items" tab "Shift":

Since the brackets are copied in length and the distance between the original and thefirst copy is one frame, enter value "1" for 'Length';

The value for 'Amount' is "4"; Since the distance between the resulting brackets is "1" frame, enter "1" for 'Step '.

By selecting the 'Show overview' button, the system will present you with an overview ofthe defined 'Shift actions' as illustrated in the figure below:

As you can see in the list you have defined 4 'shift actions'. Step 2: "Add the ´Shift action´ for copying the bracket from frame 23 to frame 30"

Before starting to define this action you need to change a setting which enables you todefine multiple copy actions at the same time.

Select the tab 'Settings' and the following panel will be presented (See ' 'Influencingthe copy result'):



Select the option 'Accumulate all valid copy actions' which enables you to definemultiple copy actions at the same time(See also 'Multiple copy actions at the sametime'). Select the tab 'Shift' to enter the new copy values. Please change the value "1" to "7" for 'Length' since the distance regarding to frame

30 is "7" frames. The value for 'Amount' should be "1" since this command concerns only one 'shift

action'. By selecting the button 'Calculate' you accept the copy action and the concerning

action will be added to the list of 'Shift actions'.

Please select the 'OK' button to execute the defined copy actions.

1.19 Frame 25


Start and end situation

You will switch to frame view "108-25" to check if the bracket has been copied fromframe 23.


1. open drawing frame view "108-25"2. Choose "Update all blocks" and you will see that the new bracket is also presented.



1.20 Frame 26


Start situation

You will also switch to frame view "108-26" to check if the bracket has been copied fromframe 23.


1. open drawing frame view "108-26"2. Choose "Update active block" and the bracket will appear without dimensions,

because the bracket is copied without dimensions!3. Dimension bracket and deck beam4. Place standard text "Frame 26" above view

The created brackets will also appear in top view "108-6200".

End situation



Place standard text "Frame 26" above view by using "Current Control". This is similar to place standard text "Frame 23" above view, but now you select as standard text "Frame26".



1.20.2 Profile size (4)

You will add the dimension to the standard bracket "A 02" between deck beam HP 140 x8 and longitudinal bulkhead "Long. bulkhead 6600". This bracket has been copied fromframe 23.

Select from the toolbar "draw" the icon symbols:

Let's dimension the bracket by selecting the toolbar icon "Profile size":

As the hint suggests "Select item", you select the concerning bracket by either using theleft-mouse button or the <SPCAE> bar. "Please notice that the <SPACE> bar can be used instead of the left-mouse button".

After selecting the bracket, panel "Choose dimension type" will appear:

Please select either the 'Ok' button or the <SPACE> bar to accept the presented valueswithin this panel .

Now the dimension of the bracket appears together with the part number. Indicate aposition where the dimension should be placed by dragging the dimension and using themouse.

Now you will dimension the deck beam with the same dimensioning option.





Start situation

You will return to the upper deck "Deck 6200 above base" to have a look at the createdbrackets.


1. open drawing top view "108-6200"2. Choose "Update active block": the created brackets will not be visible in this view3. Make the brackets visible by increasing the "distance behind view"4. Make the brackets more clear to see by activating the background lines

After finishing this view, you will create the side views "Long. section 4620, 5280 and5940 off C.L.". You can find these views at the second drawing sheet. The creation ofthese views enables you to make the upper and lower brackets, which will be related tothe stiffeners at frame 29.

End situation

1.21.2 Set visibility 'Distance behind view'

The brackets are not visible within the current top view "108-6200", because again theviewing depth is not big enough. You will make them visible by increasing the visibilitydistance, like you have done for the flange of the longitudinal girder at 3960 from CL.

Let's increase the visibility distance by selecting the toolbar icon "DRAW?":



After selecting this icon the panel "108-6200" appears:

Select button 'Visibility' to access the visibility settings, presented within panel "Visibilitysettings":



In this case you need to modify the distance behind view from the default value 50 into atleast 140. Please enter the value "140" for 'Distance behind view'. By sing the 'OK'button within panel "108-6200" the brackets will appear in the top view too.

1.21.3 Background lines (1)

You can make the brackets more clear to see by displaying the background lines.

Go to the menu "View" -> "Plate Presentations" -> "Show Background lines"

Accept the default option 'all plates' within panel "Actual position":



By default all plates in block are displayed as green lines when their thickness is notbigger than the actual value for visibility setting "Maximum plate thickness for lines".These green lines are just single lines representing the plates in block and are the lineswhich will be plotted. Their position is calculated depending on the scale of the drawing.

Activating background lines will display the real thickness lines of plates in block in bluecolor, while the border lines of plates in view are displayed in yellow color. Thisfunctionality is not only applied for plates but also for brackets, flanges and shell frames.

In this case activating background lines will display the real thickness lines of thebrackets in block, as shown in the figure below:

You can remove the background lines again by closing the window or using the hot key <Esc>.

Note: The visibility setting "Maximum plate thickness for lines" can be accessed byselecting the toolbar icon "DRAW?" and selecting from panel "108-6200" button 'Visibility':



In cases where the plate thickness is bigger than the value for visibility setting"Maximum plate thickness for lines", the plate will be represented with the real platethickness and fully coloured.



Start situation

You will create a new side view "Long. section 4620 off cl", save it and add the followingconstruction 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; The floor "Bulkhead Fr. 30" at frame 30; 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 twobrackets and afterwards create the side views, you will copy the upper and lower bracketwithin 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".


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 view4. Create upper bracket "763" between stiffener HP 220 x 10 and deck beam HP 140 x

8 at frame 305. Change location of dimension belonging to the upper bracket6. Create floor "Bulkhead Fr. 30" at frame 30 7. Change thickness of floor "Bulkhead Fr. 30" from 12 into 9 mm 8. Create lower bracket "762" between stiffener HP 220 x 10 and floor at frame 309. Change location of dimension belonging to the lower bracket 10.Copy the upper and lower bracket to side views "Long. section 5280 off cl" and

"Long. section 5940 off cl"

End situation


6. Create floor "Bulkhead Fr. 30" at frame 30

In order to create the lower bracket "762" you need the floor at frame 30 as a reference.There are two different options by which you can create this floor: You can switch to frame view "Frame 30" and create the floor over there; You copy the floor from frame 29 and afterwards check if all properties are correct.Although the first option may be the best, you will choose the second option to create thefloor.

You copy the floor from FR29 by using the same procedure as you have done for copying the transverse deck beam at FR29 and shifting it to FR30. Here are theproperties for this copy action :


Copy items 'Selectionmethod'

Cross hair

'Selectiontreatment'

Select

Select floor at frame 29'Include attributes'

Copy items Select button 'Shift'



Copy items/Tab 'Shift'

'Shift actions' In length

'Length' 1 (meaning one frame spacing)

By selecting the 'OK' button, the floor at frame 29 will be copied to frame 30 including allit's attributes.

By checking the attributes of floor "Bulkhead Fr. 30", you will notice that both the floorthickness and the stiffeners must be modified. You will change the thickness of floor"Bulkhead Fr. 30" from 12 into 9 mm within the current training step. The modification ofthe stiffeners will be executed later on within frame view "Frame 30", because in frameview all stiffeners can be modified in one action.

7. Change thickness of floor "Bulkhead Fr. 30" from 12 into 9 mm

Changing the thickness of floor "Bulkhead Fr. 30" is similar to changing the thickness of"Long. bulkhead 3960". In order to select this floor, you have to change the defaultoption 'Plates in plan view' into 'Plates in block' within panel "Select plates".

9. Change location of dimension belonging to the lower bracket

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

10.Copy the upper and lower bracket to side views "Long. section 5280 off CL" and"Long. section 5940 off CL"

Copying the brackets from the current side view to side views "5280 and 5940 off CL" issimilar to copying the bracket from frame 23 to frame 24, 25, 26, 27 and 30 with thefollowing properties:


Copy items 'Selectionmethod'

Cross hair


Select

Select upper and lower bracket'Include attributes'

Copy items Select button 'Shift'Copy items->Tab'Shift'

'Width' 660'Amount' 2'Step' 660

By selecting the 'OK' button, the brackets will be copied to side views "Long. section5280 off CL" and "Long. section 5940 off CL".



1.22.2 Create side view (2)

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

Please select "Create views" from the toolbar to create the new side view:

The following panel "blocks" is displayed:

This panel contains 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. There is already a view on the graphical screen with a different view type from the

one which is to be created;3. Using option DRAW ?

Ad 2: If you try to create a new view of the same type, which is currently shown at thescreen, the panel "Selections on hull data" will be shown:



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

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

Now you will be presented with the panel "Side view " in order to define this view:



The new side view is located at 4620 from centerline 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 selectthe 'Create' button to finish the creation of side views.

One side view will be created and displayed in the graphical screen.

Recommendation: Save drawing immediately after creation!

1.22.3 Save drawing

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

To save a drawing you have to select the toolbar icon "SAVE":

After selecting this icon the panel "Save as..." is displayed which enables you to enter adrawing name and a description:



Usually you will ignore the options 'Drawing name' and 'Description' and directly pressthe 'OK' button to save the drawing with the default name.

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 number' :indicates the block where the view belongs to; 'block':indicates the position of the view which in this cars is the breadth value "4620";

The optional parts are 'Drawing name' and 'Description' and are used to provide the viewwith some additional information by the user.

1.22.4 Create brackets type 763

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



Select the toolbar icon "bracket in Plane View":

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 profilein block, 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 on the screen:

According to the drawing, the values for 'Enter height of bracket' and 'Enter thickness ofbracket' must be changed into "250" and "9". The default value "140" for 'Enter the noselength 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, youselect the 'OK' button to continue.



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

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

Corner hole typeradius

Corner hole typesnipe

Overlap type parallel

Overlap type slanted

Please select the 'OK' button to accept the default selection of "Radius" and overlap type"Parallel".

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

1.22.5 Change location of bracket dimension

The position of the upper bracket dimension is not desirable and therefore it should be tothe right position.

Select from the toolbar "draw" the icon symbols:



Then select "Profile size parallel" from the toolbar:

According to the hint "Select item" you select the bracket. Now press the <SPACE> barto accept the presented dimension type in panel "Choose dimension type". Please dragthe dimension to a new position and conform this position by using either the mouse orthe <SPACE> bar.

1.22.6 Create brackets type 762

You will make a connection between the lower stiffener HP 220 x 10 in plan view and thefloor 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 andwhich allows the user to specify a gap between the nose of the bracket and the selectedprofile or plate in section.

Select "Create bracket in plan view" from the toolbar:

Select "Bracket in plan view" from panel " from panel "Brackets":

Select from panel "Brackets" 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 frame30. After defining the bracket relations, the panel "Bracket type 762" appears on thescreen:



According to the drawing, the value for 'Enter height of bracket' must be changed into"350". The presented default value "10" for 'Enter thickness of bracket' is correct. Pleaseaccept the presented default values for all other options within this panel by selecting 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.



You will create a new side view "Long. section 5280 off cl", save it and have a look at thecreated upper and lower bracket.




1. Create new side view "Long. section 5280 off cl"2. Save drawing side view "108-5280"

End situation


2. Save drawing side view "108-5280"

Save drawing side view "108-5280" is similar to save drawing side view "108-4620".

1.23.2 Create side view (3)

You will create a new side view "Long. section 5280 off CL".

If the view to be created has the same area as the current view on the graphical screenyou can then us the function "DRAW?" from the toolbar in order to create the concerningview.

In the current situation the new side view "Long. section 5280 off CL" will have the samearea as the current view "Long. section 4620 off CL" and therefore the alternativemethod for creating views will be used.

Let's create the new view "Long. section 5280 off CL" by selecting "DRAW?" from thetoolbar:

After selecting this icon the panel "108-4620" is displayed:



You only have to type in the new value "5280" for 'Breadth' and select the 'OK' button.

Some dimensions have incorrect references, these can be removed. Select "Remove allincorrect dimensions" and "Remove all incorrect part numbers".

The new side view will be created and displayed in the graphical screen. Also thestandard text is modified automatically into "Long. section 5280 off C.L. SB".





You will create a new side view "Long. section 5940 off cl", save it and have a look at thecreated upper and lower bracket.


1. Create new side view "Long. section 5940 off cl" 3. Add new part number to lower bracket "762"4. Save drawing side view "108-5940"

End situation


1. Create new side view "Long. section 5940 off cl"

The creation of side view "Long. section 5940 off cl" is similar to the creation of side view"Long. section 5280 off cl".

2. Save drawing side view "108-5940"

Save drawing side view "108-5280" is similar to save drawing side view "108-4620".






You will return to the upper deck "Deck 6200 above base" to have a look at the createdbrackets. To practice another copy possibility, you will copy a bracket from PS to SB.First you will remove one of the brackets that you have just created, for instance the oneat 4620 from CL at starboard side. Then you will copy the same bracket from port side.So at the end of this training step, the end situation will be exactly the same as the startsituation.


1. open drawing top view "108-6200"2. Choose "Update active block": the brackets will appear in the top view3. Remove the bracket at 4620 off CL at starboard.4. Extend the present view in order to see port side too5. Copy the bracket at -4620 off CL from port side to starboard6. Reduce the present view to it's original size

The subject of the next training steps will be the creation of the lower part of the floors.These floors are located between the hull and the lower deck "Deck 3500" at framestation 23 until 28.


6. Reduce the present view to it's original size

Reducing the present view to it's original size is similar to extending the present view.Within panel "108-6200" you enter the original value "-500" for 'Min. Breadth' for area 'Area construction' again and press the 'OK' button.



1.25.2 Change view

You will copy the bracket, located at 4620 from CL, from port side. In the current viewthe brackets at port side are not visible. Therefore you first need to extend the area ofthe present top view "108-6200" in order to make the port side visible as well.

Let's extend the area of the current view "108-6200" by selecting "DRAW?" from toolbar:

After selecting this icon the panel "108-6200" is displayed with the original area settings:

Views are defined as an area in which the construction and the hull line is shown. The



values have been specified by the user during the view creation process.

In this situation the area is specified by it's values for the length and breadth. WithinNUPAS CADMATIC Hull three area types can be distinguished: Area construction; Area shape, meaning the area hull line; Area equipment.By default each area will have the same values for the length and breadth.

You can extend or reduce the area of the current view by modifying the values for 'Min.Length', 'Max. Length', 'Min. Breadth' and 'Max. Breadth' regarding 'Area construction'and 'Area shape'.

Now you want to see all construction items at port side too. This can be realized byremoving value "-500" for 'Min. Breadth' of the area 'Area construction'. The followingpanel "108-6200" lists the modified area settings to show all construction items atstarboard and port side:



Select the 'OK' button to confirm the new area settings. Although the current view"108-6200" is extended, still only starboard will be visible in the graphical screen. In orderto see the port side as well, you need either to select the function Full Screen" from thetoolbar or to use the hot key <5>.

The resulting top view "108-6200" is shown in the figure below:



1.25.3 Copy items with mirror

After extending the area of top view "108-6200", you will copy the bracket, located at-4620 off CL, from port side to starboard.

Select "Copy items" from the toolbar:

Select the inner bracket at -4620 off cl by using the default selection method 'Cross hair'within panel "Copy items" (See also Manual 'Detailed Function Descriptions'):

Select the 'Mirror' button . The bracket should be mirrored in breadth with a breadthvalue of zero (meaning the centerline). You define these mirror properties within panel"Copy items"->Tab "Mirror":



By selecting the 'OK' button, the bracket at port side is copied to starboard by mirroring itwith respect to the centerline.

1.26 Frame 23


Start situation

You will switch to frame view "Frame 23" to create the floor "Bulkhead Fr. 23" betweenthe hull and the lower deck "Deck 3500". After creating this floor, you will add thefollowing construction parts: The lower stiffeners ST 100 x 10 between the hull and lower deck "Deck 3500"; The holes with diameter 450 mm.

Because the same kind of floor must be created at frame 24 and 25, you will copy thisfloor to frame 24 and 25, including stiffeners and holes. Although this floor lacks twosmall welding holes near the seams, you will first copy the floor and then create thesesmall holes. The main reason for this order of actions is that these small holes are nottopological, meaning that these holes will not be related to the seams. Copying this floor



including welding holes will therefore result in an incorrect position of these welding holeswithin frame 24 and 25.


1. open drawing frame view "108-23"2. Choose "Update active block"3. Check if a plate already exists at the location of the floor by activating background

lines: no plate exists4. Create lower plate "Bulkhead Fr. 23" with thickness 9 mm 5. Create lower stiffeners at 4620, 5280 and 5940 off cl 6. Create holes with diameter 450 mm 7. Copy floor "Bulkhead Fr. 23" to frame 24 and 25 8. Create welding holes with radius 35 mm

1.26.2 Background lines (2)

Before you create the lower plate "Bulkhead Fr. 23" between the hull and the lower deck"Deck 3500", it's important to check if there is already a plate present within the currentframe view "Frame 23". Please notice that sometimes NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull userscreate two plates on top of each other. Please avoid such situations by checking on theexistence of plates before creating new plates!

Go to the menu "View" -> "Plate Presentations" -> "Show Background lines"

Select second option 'all plates in plan view' from panel "Actual position":

Now only plates and profiles in plan view will be displayed, plates in block will not bedisplayed.

In this case the graphical screen will be empty at the location of the floor, which willassure you that no floor exists within frame view "Frame 23":



1.26.3 Create holes at seam symbols

You will create two welding holes with a radius of 35 mm around the seams. Thesewelding holes will be added to floor "Bulkhead Fr. 23".

Let's create these welding holes by selecting the toolbar icon "Create corner holes":

Select from panel "Corner holes" option icon "Hole at seam":



According to the hint "Select welding symbols" you select the welding symbols by usingthe default selection method 'Clump' within panel "Weld hole selection menu":

After selection of the welding symbols, you have to determine the type of welding holewithin panel "Welding holes":

This panel contains three welding hole types:

Welding hole type310



In this case you select welding hole type "348" and enter in panel "Hole types" for 'Radius' the value "35":

Select the 'OK' button to create the two welding holes around the seams.

This floor has been copied from frame 23 with it's three stiffeners ST 100 x 10 and twoholes with diameter 450 mm. You will make the following necessary modifications to thisfloor: Change the position of the holes with diameter 450 mm from 3100 into 3000 mm

above base; Change the left lower corner radius from 100 into 75 mm, which is not created as a

hole but it is how the plate has been created; Add two welding holes with radius 35 mm and one welding hole with radius 75 mm.


1. open drawing frame view "108-24"2. Choose "Update active block"3. Place standard text "Frame 24" above view 4. Change position of holes with diameter 450 mm from 3100 to 3000 mm above base

5. Change left lower corner radius from 100 to 75 mm6. Create two welding holes with radius 35 mm and one welding hole with radius 75

mm

End situation



Place standard text "Frame 24" above view is similar to place standard text "Frame 23"above view, but now you select as standard text "Frame 24".



4. Change position of holes with diameter 450 mm from 3100 to 3000 mm above base

The position of the holes with diameter 450 mm can be changed by shifting them -100mm in height. Shifting these holes is similar to shifting the aft most hole from Deck 6200,but now you select within panel "Hole selection menu" the option 'Shift in height' andenter the value "-100". Instead of using value "-100" you can also use the absolute valuefor the height by selecting the 'Abs' button.

6. Create two welding holes with radius 35 mm and one welding hole with radius 75 mm

The creation of two welding holes with radius 35 mm and one welding hole with radius 75mm is similar to the creation of welding holes within frame view "Frame 23".


The plate "Bulkhead Fr. 24" between the hull and the lower deck "Deck 3500" contains atthe left lower corner a corner hole with a radius of 100 mm. This corner hole is part of theplate contour. You will change the radius of this corner hole into 75 mm by modifying theplate.


Select "Change plate" from panel "Plates" :

According to the hint "Indicate construction part that has to be modified" you select thefloor. After selecting the floor, the system will display panel "Relations overview" with thecurrent plate boundaries and panel "Modify a plate contour" with the plate contourdefinitions.

1.29 Frame 26


Start situation

You will switch to frame view "Frame 26" to modify the floor "Bulkhead Fr. 26" betweenthe hull and the lower deck "Deck 3500".

Here are the modifications to be made: Remove all holes; Change the thickness of this floor from 9 into 12 mm; Remove all corner holes of this floor to make it watertight.

Now take a close look at the drawing and you will see that the type and size of thestiffeners need to be changed from flat bar 100 x 10 into HP 120 x 8. This floor alsocontains an additional stiffener of type flat bar 100 x 10, placed below the bulkhead"Long. bulkhead 6600".

The best way to proceed is to copy one of the existing stiffeners to the new positionbelow the bulkhead and modify afterwards the type and size of the remaining stiffeners: Create stiffener ST 100 x 10 below bulkhead "Long. bulkhead 6600"; Change end type of this stiffener ST 100 x 10 from type "B" into type "C" with a

radius of 25 mm; Lengthen this stiffener ST 100 x 10 with 25 mm, because the upper end of this

stiffener has to touch the lower deck; Modify the size and type of stiffeners at 4620, 5280 and 5940 off cl from ST 100 x 10

into HP 120 x 8; Modify the end type of stiffeners at 4620, 5280 and 5940 off cl from type "B" into type

"A".

Finally you will place both the free text "W.T." and the thickness text including partnumber on this floor.


1. open drawing frame view "108-26"2. Choose "Update active block"3. Remove all holes



4. Change thickness of floor "Bulkhead Fr. 26" from 9 into 12 mm 5. Remove all corner holes of floor "Bulkhead Fr. 26" to make it watertight6. Create stiffener below bulkhead "Long. bulkhead 6600" 7.

Because the plate "Bulkhead Fr. 26" between the hull and the lower deck "Deck 3500"must be watertight, you will remove all three corner holes. These corner holes are part ofthe plate contour, therefore you will use the plate modification options again.




Select from panel "Plates" option icon "Change plate":

According to the hint "Indicate construction part that has to be modified" you select plate"Bulkhead Fr. 26". After selection, the system will display panel "Relations overview" withthe current plate boundaries:

This panel shows you that the selected plate "Bulkhead Fr. 26" consists of three plateboundaries and that each plate boundary contains a corner hole. As you have seenbefore, you can change the plate boundary properties by means of panel "Modify a platecontour":

Now you will remove the existing corner holes one by one.



According to the hint "Indicate relation to be changed" you indicate the upper left cornerhole. The relation will be highlighted in panel "Relations overview":

Remove the current value for the corner radius "50" for 'Cutout':

After changing the plate boundary, you can preview the result by pressing the 'Compute'button. The plate will be recalculated and the first relation will be updated within panel"Relations overview":

Indeed the upper left corner hole has been removed. Before pressing the 'OK' button toaccept your modification, it's better to remove the other two existing corner holes too.

For the removal of the remaining two corner holes, you will use an alternative quicker



method:

According to the hint "Indicate relation to be changed" you indicate the lower left cornerhole. Please remove the current value "75" for the cutout radius within panel "Modify aplate contour". After deleting this value, you indicate the last upper right corner hole andremove the value "75" for the cutout radius for this boundary as well.

After removing all corner holes, you select the 'OK' button to finalize your modificationsof plate "Bulkhead Fr. 26".

1.29.3 Change type/size of profiles in view

You have to change the type and size of the existing stiffeners ST 100 x 10, located at4620, 5280 and 5940 off CL, into HP 120 x 8 by using the profile modification options.

Let's modify the type and size of these profiles by selecting "Change profiles" from thetoolbar :

Select "Change size/type of profiles in view" from panel "Change profiles":

By means of panel "Profiles selection" you select the profiles by using the defaultselection method 'Conflict':



You make a box around the profiles in such a way that each profile is at least partiallyincluded in the box:

Select the 'OK' button to continue:



Select the following options within the panel "Change profile type": The type of profile is "HP" or "Bulb" and therefore select option:

The size of the profile is 120 x 8, meaning that the value for 'Body size' will be "120"and the value for 'Thickness' will be "8".

After selecting the 'OK' button, the profiles will be modified into HP 120 x 8.

1.29.4 Text (3)

After the necessary modifications on floor "Bulkhead Fr. 26", you will place the text "W.T." to indicate that this floor is watertight. To add this user defined text, you will use a newtext option called free text.

To place free text you select the function "TEXT" from toolbar :

End situation


11.Create brackets "D 21" between pillar and deck beam



Indicate the pillar as first constructionpartIndicate the deck beam as secondconstruction part


By pressing the 'OK' button, the bracket will be created including part number "21" andpanel number "YA".

Note: During the creation of a bracket between a pillar and an other construction part, itis important that you first select the pillar and secondly the other construction part!



1.33.2 Create pillars

In order to support the upper deck "Deck 6200", you will add a pillar between the deck"Deck 2750" and the upper deck beam HP 200 x 9. This pillar is positioned at 1900 mmfrom cl.

You can create pillars by selecting "Insert" -> "Pillars" -> "Horizontal pillars" from themenu. After selecting this function the panel "Create pillars" is displayed:

You specify the type of pillar and it's position by means of panel "Create pillars" in asimilar way as you have already done for profiles:



The selected options with the appropriate values are: The type of pillar is "Pipe" and therefore the following option icon is selected:

The size of the pillar is Ø 150 x 10 mm, so the values for 'Diameter' and 'Wallthickness' are "150" and "10";

The pillar is located at 1900 from CL, therefore the value for 'From breadth' is "1900"; Since 'Body direction' and 'Thickness direction' does not apply to this type of pillars

you accept the default settings; The type of material of the pillar will be the default standard material "GR-A".



After selecting the 'OK' button, you have to specify the length of the pillar by defining it'sstart and endpoint.

You determine the lower end of the pillar by means of panel "Border value":

According to the hint "Indicate 1st relation" you select the deck "Deck 2750", youindicating a point above this deck. Taking into consideration the existence of afoundation plate with a thickness of 10 mm, the vertical distance should be 10 mm. Youdefine the end cut at this position by selecting type "A" as the first end shape:

Now you determine the upper end of the pillar by means of panel "Border value":

According to the hint "Indicate 2nd relation" you select the upper deck beam HP 200 x 9by indicating a point below this deck beam. Although the vertical distance should be 10mm, you will leave it 0 mm. The reason will be explained later on. Please select type "A"as the second end shape to continue.



After selecting the second end shape, the pillar with dimensions Ø 150 x 10 mm will becreated at 1900 from CL.

1.33.3 Create pillars centerline

According to the drawing you will add a centerline to the created pillar Ø 150 x 10 mmwithin frame view "Frame 28".

To add a centerline to this pillar, select "Draw" -> "Pillar CL" from the menu. Next youselect the pillar Ø 150 x 10 mm by using the default selection method 'Cross hair' withinpanel "Select":

By selecting on the 'OK' button, the centerline will be added to the pillar.



1.33.4 Create double round plating

Now you need to create the plates with dimensions Ø 200 x 10 mm on top and below thepillar Ø 150 x 10 mm. These plates are so-called double plates.

To create double plates, you select "insert" -> "foundations" -> "round doubleplating" from the menu. After selecting this menu You will be presented with the following panel:

Start with selecting the upper end of the pillar by selecting the 'Select' button within panel"Round Double Plating" and the following panel will appear:

Select the upper end of pillar Ø 150 x 10 mm by using the 'Clump' possibility of the"Select" panel.

Select the 'OK' button to get back to the panel "Double round plating" in order to specifythe properties of the selected foundation type:



The selected options with the appropriate values are: The size of the double plate is Ø 200 x 10 mm, the values for 'Diameter' and '

Thickness' are "200" and "10" which are set automatically; The type of material of the double plate will be the default standard material "GR-A"; The pillar needs to be shortened at the upper end, due to the specified vertical

distance of 10 mm at the upper end, by selecting option 'Shorten pillar' ( This is set bydefault);

The double plate must be given a name by entering an arbitrary name for 'Name', forinstance "A".

By selecting the 'OK' button, the specified upper double plate will be created and thepillar will be shortened.

After creating this upper plate, you will create the lower one in a similar way. Be aware ofthe circumstance, that the pillar doesn't need to be shortened at the lower end. Thereforeyou need to deselect option 'Shorten pillar' within panel "Round double plating". You canenter the "A" for 'Name' again within panel "Round double plating".

After creating these double plates, you can take a close look at one of these doubleplates for instance the upper double plate. Please zoom in on this double plate by usinghot key <1> and then activate the background lines by selecting "view" -> "platepresentation" -> "Background lines" from the menu

Activating background lines with the default option 'all plates' will result in displaying thereal thickness lines of this double plate in section, as shown in the figure below:

You can remove the background lines by closing the window or by using the hot key <



Esc>.See also: Basic Training Course -> Create foundation

1.33.5 Profile size (5)

You will dimension the pillar Ø 150 x 10 mm by placing a reference with both the size ofthe pillar and the part number to this pillar. You can use for pillars the samedimensioning functions as for normal profiles.

Select "Profile size perpendicular" from the toolbar:

According to the hint "Select item" you select the pillar Ø 150 x 10 mm and drag thedimension outside of the pillar and indicate a point where the dimension should beplaced, by using the mouse.

Using this dimensioning option, the text "Pipe 150 x 10" is placed perpendicular to thepillar.



1.34 3D-Show: Create series of plates


Start situation

Now you will switch to the application "3D-Show" to create the upper plates from frame23 to frame 28, located between the lower deck "Deck 3500" and the upper deck "Deck6200".

All the plates and stiffeners you have created so far, have done in the "3D-Contek"application. But these construction parts can also be created in "3D-Show" application.The advantage of creating plates "3D-Show" application is, that you can make a seriesof plates whereas within the application "3D-Contek", you can only make a single plate.This is the main reason that the application "3D-Show" is often used for creating theinitial plates, when you are start with a new building block. For this training block youhave not used the application "3D-Show" for creating initial plates so far in order to avoidconfusion for you as a beginner.


1. Switch to application "3D-Show" 2. Show active block in a 3-dimensional environment 3. Shade lines from active block 4. Create plates between decks "Deck 3500 " and "Deck 6200 " from frame 23 until

frame 285. View block in isometric view6. Shade lines from active block in order to see the created plates7. Switch to application "3D-Contek"

After returning to the application "3D-Contek", you will add the holes and stiffeners to theupper plates and execute the necessary modifications. Eventually you can also createthe holes and stiffeners by means of application "3D-Show", but the available optionshave some limitations. Therefore the application "3D-Show" is hardly used for makingholes and stiffeners.



End situation


1 Switch to application "3D-Show"

Switching to application "3D-Show" is similar to switching to another application

2. Show active block in a 3-dimensional environment

Let's create a series of upper plates from frame 23 to frame 28 by selecting toolbar icon"Transverse plates":

After selecting this icon, you will be presented with the following panel:

Because the upper plates must be created from frame 23 to frame 28, you enter thevalue "23" for 'From frame' and the value "28" for 'To frame' . In this case you don't needto enter a value for 'Step size', the default value for this is "1" . The thickness of theupper plates will be 9 mm and the thickness direction will be towards reversed frame.Accept the presented default values for 'Type of material' and 'Shift of working plane' byselecting the 'OK' button.

After selecting the 'OK' button, the view on the graphical screen will be changed from"iso rear" into "rear view block" at frame "23".

Next you have to specify the plate boundaries by means of panel "Create topologicalplates":



The boundaries of the upper plates, located between the two decks "Deck 3500" and"Deck 6200", will be defined as follows: Start with the upper deck "Deck 6200" as the first boundary of the plate, which can be

defined by indicating the upper deck; Add the corner hole with radius 50 mm to the first boundary by entering the value "50"

for 'Cutout'; Please indicate the longitudinal bulkhead "Long. bulkhead 6600" as the second

boundary; Add the corner hole with radius 50 mm to the second boundary; Please indicate the lower deck "Deck 3500" as the third boundary; Add the corner hole with radius 75 mm to the third boundary; The last boundary is the hull line. Since the hull line is missing you will select the

button 'Shape' for 'Max. Breadth' to define the maximum breadth. As a result thevalue "0" will entered in the concerning input box. This value "0" means hull group 0.A lines plan can consist of different hull groups, i.e. one for the main body, one for theskeg, etc. The main body is usually stored in hull group 0.

According to the hint "Indicate construction part that has to be modified" you select plate"Deck 6200". Next, the system displays a list of all the boundaries of the selected plate inthe panel called "Relations overview" and you are also presented with the panel "Modifya plate contour".

Now you have to indicate the relation, which needs to be changed. Taking in account therule that you should always work in a counterclockwise direction, you select the upperboundary of the plate, located at a parallel distance of 100 mm from the centerline. Thisrelation will be highlighted in panel "Relations overview":




You will create the cutout in deck plate "Deck 6200" by starting the modification from theindicated relation. Therefore you select button 'Start adding' to add the modification,taking in account the following rules:

When modifying plate boundaries, you must also work in acounterclockwise direction;

The first boundary of the modification must always intersect with theselected plate boundary.

The first boundary of the modification is defined by the minimum length. You couldtype a value for 'Min. Length', but in this case you select the deck beam at frame 28 byindicating a point on the right-hand side of the deck beam and enter the value "50" for 'Parallel' in the panel "Modify a plate contour" which stands for the parallel distance;

Add the corner radius of 100 mm to the selected boundary by selecting option 'Radiusof curvature' and entering the value "100" in the entry box;

The last boundary of the modification is defined by the minimum breadth. Select the 'Min. Breadth' button and enter value "1300" in the entry box:



After defining all boundaries of the cutout, you select the button 'Stop adding'. Next youhave to indicate the relation whereat the modification ends. Please notice that this is always an existing relation of the plate.

In this situation you select the aft boundary of the plate, located at 100 mm in front offrame 22.

Please select the 'Compute' button to get a preview of the modified deck plate. Theupdated plate relations will appear within panel "Relations overview":

Please select the 'OK' button to modify the deck plate "Deck 6200".




You will make a small platform, which will be an integrated part of the deck plate "Deck6200", by modifying the contour of the deck plate, for some extra exercises. Thedimensions of this platform are shown in the figure below:

Please select "Change plates" from the toolbar :


According to the hint "Indicate construction part that has to be modified" you select plate"Deck 6200". Next the system displays list of all the boundaries of the selected plate inthe panel called "Relations overview" and you are also presented with the panel "Modifya plate contour".

You select the upper boundary of the plate, located at a parallel distance of 1300 mmfrom centerline. This relation will be highlighted in panel "Relations overview":




Please add the first corner radius of 75 mm to the selected plate boundary by selecting 'Radius of curvature' in the panel "Modify a plate contour" and entering the value "75"for it. Next you select 'Start adding' to add the new boundaries:

The first boundary to add, is defined by the maximum length. Select the 'Max. Length'button and enter value "26+20" in the entry box;

The second boundary is defined by the minimum breadth. Select the 'Min. Breadth'button and enter value "450" in the entry box;

After defining all relations of the platform, you select button 'Stop adding' and indicatethe relation whereat the modification ends. In this case you select the upper boundary ofthe plate, located at a parallel distance of 1300 mm from centerline.

Now you can preview the created platform by using the 'Compute' button and theupdated plate relations will appear within panel "Relations overview":



Select the 'OK' button to create the deck plate "Deck 6200" with the integrated platform.

1.37.4 Undo plate change

if you are not satisfied with the last modification of the deck plate "Deck 6200", you canuse the undo possibility for plate changes.

Let's remove the platform by selecting "Change plates" from the toolbar :

Select "Undo plate change" from panel "Plates":

Next the corresponding deck plate "Deck 6200" will be highlighted for a few seconds andthe following message will appear:

By selecting the 'Yes' button, the last modification of the plate will be undone. Now youhave the original deck plate 'Deck 6200" back, without the integrated platform.



Option "Undo plate change" is only applied on the lastmodification of the last modified plate.



Start situation

You will switch to the lower deck "Deck 3500" to create the cutout in deck plate "Deck3500".


1. open drawing top view "108-3500"2. Choose "Update active block"3. Make the bulkheads above the deck visible by increasing the "distance in front of

view"4. Create the cutout in deck plate "Deck 3500"5. Modify the cutout by changing the parallel contour, related to the transverse bulkhead

at FR29, in a slanted parallel contour6. Modify the cutout by relating the slanted parallel contour to the transverse bulkhead

at FR287. Undo the last plate modification8. Create stiffener ST 150 x 10 along the slanted parallel contour of the cutout

End situation



1.38.2 Set visibility 'Distance in front of view'

As you can see on the drawing; the cutout in deck plate "Deck 3500" is related to it'senvironment by means of parallel relations to the following three bulkheads: The longitudinal bulkhead at 6600 from C.L.; The transverse bulkhead at FR29; The longitudinal bulkhead at 3960 from C.L..

But these bulkheads are not visible within the current top view "108-3500", because thevisibility distance above the deck is too small. Normally within the applicationNUPAS-CADMATIC Hull only the plates below a deck will be shown. If you also want tosee the bulkheads above the deck, you need to increase the visibility distance.

Please select "DRAW?" from the toolbar :

Next you will be presented with the panel "108-3500":



Select button 'Visibility' to access the visibility settings within panel "Visibility settings".Since the thickness of the deck 12 mm you have to change the value for 'the distancein front of view' from 6 mm into at least 13 mm:



By selecting the 'OK' button within panel "108-3500" the bulkheads will be presented inthe top view as well.


You will create the cutout in deck plate "Deck 3500" by modifying the contour of this deckplate. As mentioned before the cutout is related to it's environment by means of thefollowing three main relations: A parallel relation to the longitudinal bulkhead 6600 from C.L. of 100 mm; A parallel relation to the transverse bulkhead at FR29 of 250 mm; A parallel relation to the longitudinal bulkhead 3960 from C.L. of 150 mm.

The dimensions of the cutout are presented in the figure below:




Select "Change plate" from panel "Plates":

According to the hint "Indicate construction part that has to be modified" you select theforward plate "Deck 3500". Next, the system displays a list of all the boundaries of theselected plate in the panel called "Relations overview" and you are also presented withthe panel "Modify a plate contour".

Now you have to indicate the relation which needs to be changed. Taking in account therule that you should always work in a counterclockwise direction, you select the boundaryof the plate located at frame 31. This relation will be highlighted in panel "Relationsoverview":




You will create the cutout in deck plate "Deck 3500" by starting from the indicatedrelation. Therefore you select within the panel 'Start adding' to add the modification:

The first part of the cutout is a small nose, starting at a parallel distance of 20 mmabove the longitudinal bulkhead 6600. Start by indicating a point above the longitudinalbulkhead 6600 to select the deck and entering the value "20" for 'Parallel' . Next, youdefine an angle of 150º by selecting option 'Angle from' instead of 'No crossover'and entering the value of "150" for 'Angle from' :

Note: The value for the angle must always be confirmed by pressing the<ENTER> key.

The second boundary is defined by a parallel distance of 100 mm from the longitudinalbulkhead 6600. Indicate the longitudinal bulkhead 6600 and enter the value "100" for 'Parallel' ;

Add the lower corner radius of 300 mm by selecting 'Radius of curvature' andentering the value "300";

The third boundary is defined by a parallel distance of 250 mm from the transversebulkhead at FR29. So indicate the transverse bulkhead at FR29 at the front side andenter the value "250" for 'Parallel';

Add the upper corner radius of 300 mm; The fourth boundary is defined by a parallel distance of 150 mm from the longitudinal

bulkhead 3960. Select the longitudinal bulkhead 3960 by indicating a point below itand enter the value "150" for 'Parallel' ;



The last part of the cutout is also a small nose with a fixed angle of 30º, ending at aparallel distance of 20 mm below the longitudinal bulkhead 3960. Because the exactposition of the start point is unknown, you can not use the option 'Angle from'. In suchcases you use the alternative option 'Angle to'. Select option 'Angle to' and enter "30"as value for the angle:

Confirm this angle again by pressing the <ENTER> key.

The last action is to define the parallel distance of 20 mm below the longitudinalbulkhead 3960. Indicate the longitudinal bulkhead 3960 and enter the value "20" for 'Parallel' .

Now select the button 'Stop adding' and indicate the relation whereat the modificationends. In this case you select the boundary of the plate located at frame 31.

You can get a preview of the modified deck plate by using the 'Compute' button and thepanel "Relations overview" will be updated:

If you are satisfied with the result, presented on your screen and in the panel "Relationsoverview" then you can confirm the modification of the deck plate "Deck 3500" byselecting the 'OK' button.

The end result is presented in the following figure:




You will modify the created cutout in deck plate "Deck 3500" by changing the existingvertical plate boundary, which is related to the transverse bulkhead at FR29, in a slantedplate boundary.

Although this modification is not visible on the provided drawing sheets, you will carry outthis modification as an additional exercise. The new dimensions of the cutout are givenin the following figure:





According to the hint "Indicate construction part that has to be modified" you select thefront plate "Deck 3500".Next, the system displays a list of all the boundaries of theselected plate in the panel called "Relations overview" and you are also presented withthe panel "Modify a plate contour".

Now select vertical plate boundary of the cutout, which is related to the transversebulkhead. This relation is highlighted in panel "Relations overview":




By specifying a second value for option 'Parallel', you define the current relation as aslanted relation with respect to the selected item;The value in the left entry box for 'Parallel' is the distance between the start point of thecurrent relation and the selected item, the start point is determined by the intersection ofthe previous relation with the current relation.The value in the right entry box is the distance between the end point of the currentrelation and the selected item the end point is determined by the intersection of the nextrelation with the current relation.Please notice that the current relation is seen as an strait line to determine theintersections

According to the figure with the specified dimensions of the cutout, you must insert thevalue "300" for 'Parallel' in the right entry box:

After selecting the 'OK' button, the vertical plate boundary of the cutout will be modifiedinto a slanted plate boundary.

The end result is presented in the figure below:




You will modify the created cutout in deck plate "Deck 3500" for a second time bymaking the cutout deeper. This can be realized by relating the slanted plate boundary ofthe cutout to the transverse bulkhead at FR28. Please notice that the slanted plateboundary of the cutout is related to the transverse bulkhead at FR29.



This second modification is an additional exercise to show you the use of the 'Replace'button within panel "Modify a plate contour". After carrying out this exercise, you willundo this modification.

The new dimensions of the cutout are illustrated in the following figure:


Select "Change plates" from panel "Plates":

According to the hint "Indicate construction part that has to be modified" you select theforward plate "Deck 3500". Next, the system displays a list of all the boundaries of theselected plate in the panel called "Relations overview" and you are also presented withthe panel "Modify a plate contour".

Please select the slanted plate boundary of the cutout, which is related to the transversebulkhead. The selected relation is highlighted in panel "Relations overview":




You can replace a relation by a new relation by selecting the 'Replace' button withinpanel "Modify a plate contour". After defining a new relation and selecting the 'OK'button, the existing relation will be replaced by the new one.

In the current situation, you select the 'Replace' button and define your new relation byindicating the transverse bulkhead at FR28. To get a preview of the modified deck plate,you select the 'Compute' button. If you are satisfied with the result you can select the'OK' button to confirm the modification of the deck plate "Deck 3500".

The end result is presented in the following figure:



1.38.6 Create arbitrary profiles (1)

You will create stiffener ST 150 x 10 along the slanted plate boundary of the createdcutout in deck plate "Deck 3500".

Although you will find the same profile on the drawing, there is one main difference: the



presented profile on the drawing is a vertical profile, which can easily be created with theoption "Vertical profiles" . To create this slanted profile, you will use a new profile option called "Arbitrary profiles".

The stiffener ST 150 x 10 will be created between the start point P¹ and the endpoint P²along the slanted plate boundary. The exact position of these points are given in thefollowing figure:

The start point P¹ will be defined as an intersection point between the relations: A parallel relation to the longitudinal bulkhead 6600 from C.L. of 40 mm; A parallel relation to the slanted plate boundary of the cutout of 15 mm.

The endpoint P² will also be defined as an intersection point between the relations: A parallel relation to the longitudinal bulkhead 3960 from C.L. of 40 mm; A parallel relation to the slanted plate boundary of the cutout of 20 mm.

Both the first and second end shapes of this stiffener will be of type "B" with an angle of60 mm and a nose height of 25 mm.

Please select "Create profile" from the toolbar :

Select "Arbitrary profiles" from panel "Profiles":

At first you have to specify the type of profile and it's directions by means of panel"Create profile". The profile type, body size and thickness are respectively "Flat bar","150" and "10". The profile directions will be "Towards base" and "Towards reversedframe" :



After selecting the 'OK' button, you have to specify the start and endpoint of the profileand the corresponding end shapes by means of panel "Profile on plate ? TDB 108":



As basis for the start point of the profile, you will define the following relations:1. A parallel relation to the longitudinal bulkhead 6600 from C.L. of 40 mm;2. A parallel relation to the slanted plate boundary of the cutout of 15 mm.

Ad 1. To define the first relation you select the longitudinal bulkhead 6600 by indicating apoint above the plate and entering within panel "Profile on plate ? TDB 108" thevalue "40" for 'Vertical distance' :

Select the 'OK' button to confirm the definition of the relation. Please note that allthe values concerning a relation should be given before the de relation isconfirmed by means of the 'OK' button.

Ad 2. To define the second relation you select the slanted plate boundary of the cutout,but if you select this plate, the full contour of the plate will be highlighted! You willsee this also within panel "Profile on plate ? TDB 108", where the selected type ofrelation will be 'Complete relation':



To make sure that only the indicated slanted plate boundary is selected, you have tochoose '1 vector' as type of relation from the pull-down menu .Generally speaking the selected type of relation '1 vector' means that only thevector of the relation, which is closest to the indicated point will be selected.

Now enter the value "15" for 'Parallel distance' :

Confirm the definition of this relation by selecting the 'OK' button.

You have defined two relations which are presented as purple lines within the graphicalscreen:



The intersection point of these purple lines will determine the start point of the profile.

According to the hint you have to choose the third and first end shape from panel "Profileon plate ? TDB 108". Since the profile does not have a flange, you only have to definethe first end shape, which will be of type "B" or a so-called snipe:

Please accept the presented default values for 'Angle of edge' and 'Nose height' withinpanel "End type" by selecting the 'OK' button:

As basis for the endpoint of the profile, you will define the following relations:3. A parallel relation to the longitudinal bulkhead 3960 from C.L. of 40 mm;4. A parallel relation to the slanted plate boundary of the cutout of 20 mm.

Ad 3. To define the third relation you select the longitudinal bulkhead 3960 by indicatinga point below the plate, next you enter the value "40" for 'Vertical distance' . Confirmthe definition for this relation by selecting the 'OK' button.

Ad 4. You define the fourth relation by selecting the slanted plate boundary of the cutoutand choosing '1 vector' from the pull-down menu the correct type of relation . Enterthe value "20" for 'Parallel distance' and confirm the definition of this relation byselecting the 'OK' button.

An alternative for selecting the type of relation '1 vector' from the pull-down menu isby using the right-mouse button after selecting the slanted plate boundary. Thepop-up menu "Select contour interpretation" appears, which enables you to selectthe appropriate type of relation:

The defined relations will be presented as purple lines within the graphical screen. Theintersection point of these purple lines will determine the endpoint of the profile.

According to the hint you have to choose the fourth and second end shape from panel



"Profile on plate ? TDB 108". You only have to select the second end shape, which willbe of type "B" . Accept the presented default values for 'Angle of edge' and 'Noseheight' within panel "End type" by selecting the 'OK' button.

The stiffener ST 150 x 10 will be created between the specified start and endpoint:

1.39 Update all views




Although you haven't really finished your block, it is time to create a sheet drawing tohave an overview of the views you have created so far. But before you can create asheet drawing, you need to be sure that all views are up to date!


1. Update all views

1.39.2 Recalculate views

Please notice that when you modify e.g. a cross view it also can have influence on topand longitudinal views. Therefore the system enables you to update all the views of theactive section in one action.

Our recommendation is to update all views in the following situations: If you want to create sheet drawings; If you want to plot sheet drawings; If you want to create all kinds of export files.

In order to update all views, you select "Tools" -> "Recalculate views" from the menu,and the panel "Recalculate" will appear:



Using this panel you can select which type of view(s) and which section(s) needs to beupdated.

Next you can load views in the sheet drawing. This action will be handled as a separateaction within this training step.

1.40.1.4 Import views to sheet drawing (1)

You will select views as part of the sheet drawing creation process. These views will beloaded in the sheet drawing. The arrangement will be different from the arrangement ofviews on the example drawing.

You will load the following views in the sheet drawing: Top views "108-6200" and "108-3500"; Side views "108-3960" and "108-6600"; Frame views "108-23", "108-24", "108-25" and "108-26".

The arrangement of these views is illustrated in the figure below:



Let's load the specified views in the sheet drawing in the following order:1. Top views;2. Side views;3. Frame views.

You will start with selecting top views by checking the option 'Top' in the panel "Sheetdrawings":



Within this panel you will find list of two available top views. In this case you will load theviews in a manual and arbitrary way, please notice that the options 'Manual' and'Arbitrary' are selected as default. Please select the top view "108-6200" from the list and place the view at the desiredposition in the sheet drawing. The selected top view will be removed from the list in thepanel.

The second top view "108-3500" will be not placed arbitrarily but below the first top view.Please select option 'Above/below' :

After selecting the top view "108-3500" from the list, you have to select one of the viewsin the sheet drawing as the hint "Select a model" also suggests.According to the selected placement method 'Above/below', you select one of the viewsin the sheet drawing by indicating a point above or below that view. So indicate a point just below the first top view "108-6200" and the second top view"108-3500" will be positioned below the first one with a default intermediate distance.

After selecting top views, you will continue with side views by deselecting the option 'Top' selecting option 'Side' in the panel "Sheet drawings":



within this panel you will find a list of available side views. From these five views only twoviews "108-3960" and "108-6600" will be loaded into the sheet drawing. First select 'Arbitrary' as the method of placement and then select the side view "108-3960" from thelist and place the view at the desired position in the sheet drawing. You will position thisview just at the right side of top view "108-6200".

The next side view "108-6600" has to be placed next to the side view "108-3960". Soselect first 'Beside model' as the method of placement :

Please select side view "108-6600" from the list. Next, you indicate a point at the rightside of the side view "108-3960" in the sheet drawing to define the position whereat theselected side view should be placed.



Please deselect the option 'Side' and select the option 'Frame' in the panel. Next youselect the placement method 'Arbitrary' to continue:

stillYou are now presented with a list of eight available frame views. there is stil some spaceavailable in the drawing sheet, therefore you will load four of the eight frame views;"108-23", "108-24", "108-25" and "108-26":

Please select the first frame view "108-23" and place this view below side view"108-3960" and beside both top views "108-6200" and "108-3500";

Since the frame view "108-24" should be placed next to the frame view "108-23" youselect the option 'Beside model' . Please select frame view "108-24" from the list andplace this view at the right side of the frame view "108-24" by indicating a point on thatposition.;

The third frame view "108-25" should be placed below frame view "108-23". Selectoption 'Above below' and frame view "108-25" from the list. Then select the frameview "108-23" by indicating a point just below this view;

The fourth frame view "108-26" should be placed next to the frame view "108-25" andbelow frame view "108-24", meaning at an intersection. Now select placement method 'Intersection' in the panel:

Please select frame view "108-26" from the list. Next, you have to select the frameview "108-25" by indicating a point at the right side of the view.

After having loaded all the specified views, you end this function by closing the panel.



1.40.2 Create hidden lines drawing and import it to sheet drawing


You will create an isometric hidden line view of your block and add this view to theexisting sheet drawing.


1 Switch to application "3D-Show"2 Show active block3 Save block as isometric hidden lines view with drawing number "108" and drawing

name "iso-rear"4 Switch to application "3D-Contek"5 Load sheet drawing with drawing number "108" and sheet number "1"6 Add isometric hidden lines view to sheet drawing7 Save sheet drawing with drawing number "108" and sheet number "1"

End situation

1.40.2.2 Save drawing as position and hidden biso

The application "3D-Show" offers you the possibility to save 3D hidden lines drawings.These 3D hidden lines drawings are created from the selected block(s), taking inaccount the actual viewing perspective.

In this case you will create an isometric hidden lines drawing from your block and save itwith drawing number "108" and drawing name "iso-rear". Because the active block isalready shown in isometric view, you don't have to change the viewing perspective!

Let's save the current block as an isometric hidden lines drawing by selecting "File" ->



"Save as ..." from the menu. Select from panel "Save as ..." option 'Position andhidden biso' and accept the default values for the 'Drawing number' and 'Drawingname':

Because there is just a little bit space left at the sheet drawing, you will change the valuefor 'Scale' from 25 into 50. You can ignore the optional field 'Description' and select the'OK' button.

Next you are presented with two panels "Turn model" and "Remove parts" to enable youto turn the displayed block around one of it's axes and to remove items from thedisplayed block.

Because many blocks are built upside down, you will also turn your block upside down.This can be realized by turning the block 180º degrees around the East-West axis. Clickin the entry box of the option 'East-West axis' within panel "Turn model" and the defaultvalue of 180 degrees appears:

By selecting the 'Turn' button, the block will be turned upside down.



In order to get a nice view of your block, you also turn the block 180º degrees around theUp-Down axis. Click in the entry box of the option 'Up-Down axis' and the default valueof 180 degrees appears:

Select the 'Turn' button, the block will be turned around the up-down axis.

After turning the block, you could remove items from the displayed block by means of thepanel "Remove parts" if you find it necessary:

The purpose of removing items is to get a better view of the actual structure. Pleasenotice that the items are only removed from the screen and not removed from thedatabase!For the current block you don't have to remove any items. So select the 'OK'button and the hidden line removal will be carried out. The result of the hidden lineremoval will be displayed in the graphical screen.

Select the 'OK' button to save the 3D hidden lines drawing.



The end result is presented in the next figure:

1.40.2.3 Load sheet drawing

You will load the sheet drawing "108-1" .

Generally speaking, there are two methods for loading an existing sheet drawing:

1. Switch to the sheet drawings environment by selecting "File"->"Sheet drawings"from the menu and select "Open drawing" from the toolbar :

Now the system presents panel "Choose sheet" with a list of available sheetdrawings:



By selecting the sheet drawing from the list you get the sheet drawing presented onthe screen.

2. Using the "Open drawing" function within "3D-Contek":

In situations where you have recently created or modified a sheet drawing, you canuse a quicker approach by directly selecting this sheet drawing from the history box

available in the "open drawing" panel without switching to the sheet drawings

environment.

Let's use the second method to load the sheet drawing "108-1".

To load a drawing you have to select "Open drawing" from the toolbar:

menu "open drawing" appears:



When loading sheet drawings, only the following two options from this panel are ofconcern:1. The history box, referenced by number in the figure above, with a list of recently

loaded drawings. The last loaded drawing is always presented at the top of this listwith one exception: sheet drawings. Therefore in this case the sheet drawing "108-1"is located at the top of the list.

2. When a sheet drawing exists, the second list box will contain the contents of thissheet drawing. This list box, referenced by number , contains all views which havebeen added to the sheet drawing. By scrolling through the list, you could select one ofthe available views:

Please select 'Cancel' from the list to continue.

Now load the sheet drawing "108-1" by selecting it from the history box. You have to clicktwice on filename "108/sheet/108-1" in order to make a selection. The system will switchto the sheet drawings environment and will open sheet drawing "108-1".



1.40.2.4 Import views to sheet drawing (2)

You will add the 3D isometric hidden lines view to the sheet drawing "108-1".

You can load additional views to an existing sheet drawing by selecting "Load" from thetoolbar:

Using "Sheet drawings" panel you can load the 3D isometric hidden lines view as follows.:Select option '3D-Show' as type of view

Within this panel you will find a list of all 3D isometric hidden lines views. Please selectthe view "109 and place the selected at the desired position by indicating a point at lowerleft corner of the sheet drawing.

Close the window to stop loading views.



1.40.3 Modifications on sheet drawings


Start situation

If modifications are necessary, you will generally not carry out your modifications at thesheet drawing level but within the individual views, which have been imported to thesheet drawing.

All structural modifications should be carried out within single viewsand not within the sheet drawings environment

The general procedure for carrying out modifications, which should be reflected in thecorresponding sheet drawing, consists of two steps:1. Load the view which must be modified;2. Make your changes within the view and save it.The sheet drawing will reflect all your modifications due to the fact that withinNUPAS-CADMATIC Hull the sheet drawing is automatically updated!

To illustrate this modification procedure, you will modify frame view "108-23" by adding abracket of type D between the lower deck "Deck 3500" and the longitudinal bulkhead"Long. bulkhead 6600". Next you will check if the sheet drawing has been updated bylooking for the added bracket.


1. Load drawing frame view "108-23"2. Choose "Update active section"3. Create bracket "D 25" between lower deck and longitudinal bulkhead4. Load sheet drawing with drawing number "108" and sheet number "1" to check if it

has been updated 5. Leave sheet drawings environment

Some modifications can also be performed at the sheet drawing level. For the sake ofcompleteness, a list of general modifications for sheet drawings have been added to thistraining step.



End situation


4. Load sheet drawing with drawing number "108" and sheet number "1" to check if ithas been updated

After loading the sheet drawing, which is similar to loading an existing sheet drawing, youcan verify that the added bracket within frame view "108-23" also appears at the sheetdrawing. Indeed the sheet drawing has been updated automatically!

1.40.3.2 Load drawing (4)

You will load the frame view "108-23" for modification from the sheet drawing "108-1",meaning that you are still within the sheet drawings environment.

When you are working within the sheet drawings environment and a sheet drawing isdisplayed on the screen, the system offers two different loading methods:

1. Select "Open drawing" from the toolbar:

Now select one of the single views in the sheet drawing. The system will leave thesheet drawings environment and return to the normal 3D-Contek environment. Theview will be presented on the graphical screen.

2. Select "Open drawing" from the toolbar, while you still have a sheet drawing on thescreen;

Click somewhere outside the sheet in the black area of the screen. In this case thesystem will display panel "Choose sheet" with a list of available sheet drawings. Afterselecting another sheet drawing from the list, the current sheet drawing will be savedand the new one will be loaded.

In this case you will load the frame view "108-23" and not another sheet drawing,meaning that you will practice the first loading method.



After selecting the toolbar icon "Open drawing", you select the desired frame view"108-23" on the sheet drawing, This will result in loading the frame view "108-23" in thenormal 3D-Contek environment.

1.40.3.3 Leave sheet drawings environment

You can leave the sheet drawings environment by selecting "Done" from the toolbar:

After selecting this button, the system will return to the application from which you hadactivated the sheet drawings environment.

1.40.3.4 General modifications

Although all structural modifications should be carried out within single views, somemodifications can be executed at the sheet drawings level:1. Change titlefield of sheet drawing; 2. Add change number to sheet drawing; 3. Replace views within sheet drawing; 4. Perform 2D modifications to individual views within sheet drawing. For each modification function a brief explanation will be given.

1. Change title-field of sheet drawing

You are able to modify the current values which are presented in the title-field of a sheetdrawing by selecting the "Titlefld" button from the toolbar:



After selecting this button, the system will display panel "Fill titlefield" with the currentvalues:

After modifying these values, you select the 'OK' button to accept your changes and toupdate the information within the title-field.

2. Add revision to sheet drawing

You can add a revision to a sheet drawing by selecting "Chg.no." button from the toolbar:

After selecting this button, you can enter information about a specific revision by meansof panel "Enter revision":

The system keeps automatically track of your revisions and comes up with anappropriate revision value for the option 'Alteration' as a default. Our advise to you is;give information about this revision by entering your initials for 'Name' and a clear



distinctive description of the revision for 'Description' .

After selecting the 'OK' button, all information about this revision will be added to therevision list of the sheet drawing, located above the title block.

3. Replace views within sheet drawing

To replace views within a sheet drawing you select the "Load" button from the toolbar :

This function has already been mentioned for importing additional views.

Within panel "Sheet drawings" you select option 'Replace' and select the new view to beloaded in the sheet drawing. Next, you select the view which have

to be replaced by the new one by means of either selecting this view from panel "Selecta model" or clicking on the view in the sheet drawing.

4. Perform 2D modifications to individual views within sheet drawing

You can perform 2D modifications within individual views, belonging to a sheet drawing,without leaving the sheet drawings environment. Some examples of 2D modifications are: moving standard text, adding text, drawinglines, drawing circles, adding dimensions, etc.

No construction modifications can be carried out.

To enable the modification of individual views within a sheet drawing, you select thebutton "Modify drawing" from the toolbar:

Next, you determine the view to be modified either by selecting this view from the sheetdrawing itself or by selecting it from a list of available views in the sheet drawing in thepanel "Selection menu":



By means of the 'Next layer of models' button you are able to modify a drawing whichhas been loaded into another drawing.

As soon as you have selected a certain view, this view will be highlighted for a shorttime. After selecting the 'OK' button, you will notice that the selected view will keep it'soriginal colors but all other views will be displayed entirely in blue. This means that onlythe selected view can be modified and not the other views.

After modifying the selected view, you can modify several other views by selecting"Modify drawing" button from the toolbar again. Each time you select a certain view to bemodified, the previous selected view will be saved automatically.

After executing all the necessary modifications, you select the "SAVE" button from thetoolbar to save your changes to the sheet drawing:

Next, you use the button from the toolbar or hot key <5> to get the whole sheetdrawing presented on the screen. You will see that all views of the sheet drawing aredisplayed with their original colors again.



1.41 Create iceframes


You will create a series of ice frames, located between frame 23.5 and frame 30.5.These ice frames can be found on the second sheet drawing. In contrast with thisdrawing you will ignore the ice frame at frame 22.5. With exception of the ice frame atframe 23.5, all ice frames are supported by a flat bar at the lower end. You will createthese flat bars as well.

In order to create these ice frames with supporting flat bars, you will perform thefollowing actions: Create eight additional frame views "Frame 23.5" up to "Frame 30.5"; Create first ice frame HP 200 x 9 within frame view "Frame 23.5"; Create second ice frame by copying the first ice frame to frame view "Frame 24.5"; Create the supporting flat bar ST 150 x 10 of the second ice frame within top view

"Deck 3500"; Copy the second ice frame and supporting flat bar to frame views "Frame 25.5" up to

"Frame 30.5".

Now the position of the supporting flat bars ST 150 x 10 will still be vertical to the iceframes HP 200 x 9 instead of alongside of these ice frames. To achieve that the flat barsare positioned alongside of the ice frames, you have to turn them from their verticalposition to the desired position alongside of the ice frames.This correction must be carried out for each ice frame in the corresponding frame viewand consists of two steps: Ask for the angle at the lower end of the ice frame; Turn the flat bar to it's correct position alongside of the ice frame.


1. Create eight frame views "Frame 23.5" until "Frame 30.5" 2. Load drawing frame view "108-23d5"3. Choose "Do not update"4. Place standard text "Frame 23.5" above view5. Create first ice frame HP 200 x 96. Create second ice frame by copying the first ice frame to frame view "Frame 24.5"7. Load drawing top view "108-3500"8. Choose "Update active block"9. Create supporting flat bar ST 150 x 10 of the second ice frame10.Copy ice frame with the supporting flat bar to frame 25.5 until frame 30.511.Load drawing frame view "108-24d5" 12.Choose "Update active block"13.Determine the angle at the lower end of the first ice frame14.Turn the flat bar to it's correct position along the first ice frame15.Correct the position of the remaining flat bars at frame 25.5 until frame 30.5



End situation


1. Create eight frame views "Frame 23.5" up to "Frame 30.5"

Select "Create views" from the toolbar:

Next select the option "Cross views" from panel "Create views" :

Let's create these views as small as possible by using the following values for the listedoptions:


Frame view 'Length' 23.5'Min. Height' 3400'Max. Height' 6500'Min. Breadth' 6500'Max. Breadth''No. of sections' 8'Step size' 1'Centre line' deselect this, because you don't need

the centre line'Base lines' deselect this, because you don't need

base lines

Note: These intermediate views will be named as "108-23d5", "108-24d5", etc.

11.Load drawing frame view "108-24d5"

For slanting parts and parts not situated at a frame station, it's not possible to load thecorresponding views by selecting the concerning parts. So selecting the ice frame atframe 24.5 in order to load the frame view "108-24d4" will not work. In such situations,you have to indicate a point in an empty area after which you can select a certain view tobe loaded, from the list in the panel "open drawing".



1.41.2 Create shell frames

You will create the first ice frame HP 200 x 9 at frame 23.5 by using the "profiles in view"option.

Let's create ice frame HP 200 x 9 by selecting "Create profile" from the toolbar:

Now select the third option "Profiles in view" from panel "Profiles":

According to the hint "Indicate the hull line/plate" you select the hull line by indicating apoint on left-side of the hull line. By means of panel "Create shell frame" you specify thetype of profile HP 200 x 9 and it's directions:

After selecting the 'OK' button, you specify the first and second limitation of this shell



frame.

The first limitation will be the lower deck "Deck 3500". So indicate a point just above thelower deck and enter value "0" for the parallel distance from the lower deck:

Select as first end shape the type "C" and accept the default value "35" for the radius"35" within panel "End type" by selecting the 'OK' button.

The second limitation will be the upper deck "Deck 6200". So indicate a point just belowthe upper deck and enter value "0" for the parallel distance from the upper deck:

Select as second end shape the type "C" with the same radius of 35 mm. After selectingthe 'OK' button, the specified shell frame will be created.

1.41.3 Create arbitrary profiles (2)



You will create the supporting flat bar ST 150 x 10 of the second ice frame HP 200 x 9 atframe 24.5 by using the "arbitrary profiles" option.

The supporting flat bar ST 150 x 10 will be created between the start point P¹ and theendpoint P² within top view "Deck 3500". The exact position of these points are given inthe next figure:

The start point P¹ will be defined as an intersection point between the relations: A parallel distance to the floor at frame 24 of 25 mm; A parallel distance to the top of the ice frame HP 200 x 9 of 0 mm.

The endpoint P² will also be defined as an intersection point between the relations: A parallel distance to the floor at frame 25 of 25 mm; A parallel distance to the top of the ice frame HP 200 x 9 of 0 mm.

Both the first and second end shapes of this stiffener will be of type "B" with an angle of60 mm and a nose height of 25 mm.

Let's create this flat bar according to the specified position by selecting "Create profile"from the toolbar:

Select option "Arbitrary profiles" from the panel "Profiles":

You specify the type of profile and it's directions by means of panel "Create profile":



After selecting the 'OK' button, you have to specify the start and endpoint of the profileand the end shapes.

As basis for the start point of the profile, you will define the following relations:1. A parallel distance to the floor at frame 24 of 25 mm;2. A parallel distance to the top of the ice frame of 0 mm.

Ad 1. You define the first relation by indicating a point at a position in front (right-side) ofthe floor at frame 24 and entering the value "25" 'Horizontal distance' within panel"Profile on plate ? TDB 108":

Confirm the definition of this relation by selecting the 'OK' button.

Ad 2. You define the second relation by indicating the top of the ice frame HP 200 x 9:



Enter the value "0" for 'Vertical distance' within panel "Profile on plate ? TDB 108":

Confirm the definition of this relation selecting the 'OK' button.

These two relations are presented as purple lines within the graphical screen:

The intersection point of these purple lines will determine the start point of the profile.

Now select type "B" as first end shape :

The default values for the 'Angle of edge' and 'Nose height' within panel "End type" arecorrect. By selecting the 'OK' button you have completely defined the start point of theprofile.

As basis for the endpoint of the profile, you will define the following relations:3. A parallel distance to the floor at frame 25 of 25 mm;4. A parallel distance to the top of the ice frame of 0 mm.



You define these relations and the second end shape, which will be of type "B'" with thesame default properties, in a similar way as you have done for the start point.

After completely defining both points, the supporting flat bar of the ice frame will becreated between the specified points:

1.41.4 Retrieve line information

The position of the supporting flat bar ST 150 x 10 will be vertical.

To position this flat bar along the ice frame, you need to turn it around a specified angle.Therefore you must know the angle at the lower end of the ice frame by retrievinginformation about this ice frame.



Let's get the angle at the end of the ice frame by selecting "Information"->"Lineinformation" from the menu. According to the hint "Indicate a line" you select the line ofthe ice frame as illustrated below:

After indicating this line, the system displays panel "Line information" with the informationabout the selected line:

The angle at the lower end of the ice frame will be nearly equal to the angle of theselected line. This angle is rounded off to 50 degrees and consequently the flat bar mustbe turned 40 degrees.

1.41.5 Turn profiles

You will turn the flat bar ST 150 x 10 to it's correct position along the ice frame HP 200 x9. Within the current frame view "108-24d5" the flat bar needs to be turned 40 degrees.



Now turn the profile by selecting "Change profiles" from the toolbar :

Select the option "Turn profiles" from panel "Change profiles":

You select the flat bar by using the default selection method 'Clump' within panel"Profiles selection":

After selecting the flat bar, you enter "-40" for 'Angle' . In this case you give a negativevalue for the angle, because the turning direction is clockwise.

Select the 'OK' button and the flat bar will be positioned along the ice frame:



1.42 Frame 30


Start situation

You will add the flange with flange size 100 mm to the floor "Bulkhead Fr. 30", locatedbetween the hull and the lower deck "Deck 3500". Also three brackets will be added tothis view.

The floor "Bulkhead Fr. 30" has been created by copying the floor "Bulkhead Fr. 29".According to the drawing, you have to make the following modifications to floor"Bulkhead Fr. 30": Add two upper corner holes with radius 50 mm; Remove the additional part of the floor, located left of the longitudinal bulkhead 3960; Add the left lower corner hole with radius 75 mm; Change the type and size of all stiffeners into ST 100 x 10; Modify the lower end types of stiffeners at 4620, 5280 and 5940 off CL from type A

into type B; Add three welding holes with radius 35 mm around the seams; Change the radius of the inner welding hole from 35 into 75 mm; Add three standard holes with dimensions 850/450 mm.


1. Load drawing frame view "108-30"2. Choose "Update active block": the upper boundary of the floor is partly missing3. Check if the floor is really available 4. Add the missing upper line to the floor5. Add flange with size 100 mm to the floor6. Place standard text "Frame 30" above view7. Create bracket "G 33" between deck beam HP 140 x 8 and longitudinal bulkhead

39608. Create bracket "B 10" between deck beam HP 140 x 8 and profile HP 200 x 99. Create bracket "A 04" between profile HP 200 x 9 and the flange of the floor10.Add upper corner holes with radius 50 mm to the floor11.Remove the additional part of the floor, located inside of the longitudinal bulkhead

into type B



16.Add three welding holes with radius 35 mm to the floor17.Change the radius of the inner welding hole from 35 into 75 mm18.Add standard holes with dimensions 850/450 mm

End situation


3. Check if the floor is really available

You can check if the floor is really available by activating the background lines. You willsee that the floor is there, but the upper line is missing. Within NUPAS-CADMATIC Hullall relations of the plates which are related to other plates are not shown. This floor isoriginally related to the lower deck and that's why this relation is not presented as a line.But now a part of the deck has been removed and the system is not automaticallydetecting that the line is missing. In such cases it's possible to add a line later on.

13.Check type and size of existing stiffeners

You can check the type and size of existing stiffeners by means of the parts informationfunction.

14.Modify the type and size of all stiffeners into ST 100 x 10

The modification of type and size of all stiffeners is similar to the modification of type andsize of stiffeners at frame 26.

15.Modify the lower end types of stiffeners at 4620, 5280 and 5940 off cl from type Ainto type B

The modification of end types is similar to the modification of end types of upperstiffeners at frame 29

18.Add standard holes with dimensions 850/450 mm


Create holes 'From breadth' ( 3960 + 4620 ) / 2'From height' 2750'Step size' 660'Number of items'

Selected holetype



Hole types 'Height' 850'Breadth' 450

1.42.2 Create visible lines

Now you will add the missing upper line to floor "Bulkhead Fr. 30":

Add a line to the existing floor by selecting "View" -> "presentation filters" -> "platecontour" from the menu. According to the hint "Select plate in view" you select the floorand the contour direction of this floor will be shown by means of arrows:



Now let's define the start and end point of the new line and it's dash type by means ofpanel "Border value":

You define the first point, where the line should start, by indicating the upper boundarynear the longitudinal bulkhead 6600. But the actual start point P1 will be the intersectionpoint of the upper boundary and the hull line.

Next, you define the second point, where the line should end, by selecting option 'Second point' within panel "Border value" and indicating the upper boundary near thelongitudinal bulkhead 3960. The end point P2 will be the intersection point of the upperboundary and the longitudinal bulkhead 3960.

You want to create a solid line, meaning that the corresponding dash type 'Dash' will be"0".

Both points of the new line are illustrated in the figure below:

After selecting the 'OK' button, the new line will be created at the upper boundary of thefloor:



By closing the panel you can leave the function.

1.42.3 Create flanges (2)

You will create a flange of 100 mm and add this flange to the upper boundary of the floor"Bulkhead Fr. 30". In contrast with the flange of the longitudinal girder "Long. bulkhead3960", this flange will not cover the full length of the upper plate boundary but only a partof it!

Select the option "Flange" from the toolbar

According to the hint "Indicate the side of the plate where the flange/face plate should beplaced" you indicate a point just above the upper boundary of floor "Bulkhead Fr. 30".

First you define the size of the flange and the direction by means of panel "Face plate onplate 29 TDB 108":



The body size is 100 mm and the body direction will be towards reversed frame.

Secondly you specify the start and end point of the flange, taking in account the contourdirection of the plate to which the flange will be attached:

The start point will be located at the left side of the visible part of the deck plate at theright hand side and can be defined by indicating a point at this end. Accept the defaultvalue "25" for the distance from the start point and select as end shape type "B":

You accept the default values for angle and nose height within panel "End type" byselecting the 'OK' button.



The end point will be located at right side of the visible part of the deck plate at the righthand side and can be defined by indicating a point at this end. You specify the samedistance of "25" and the same end shape, meaning type "B" with it's default properties,for the end point. By selecting the 'OK' button within panel "End type" you have alsodefined the end point of the flange.

Now both ends of the flange are defined. Next you select the 'OK' button to create theflange on the floor "Bulkhead Fr. 30".

You can check if the flange has really been added to floor "Bulkhead Fr. 30" by codingthis floor. First you select "CAM"->"Code plate" from the menu and secondly youindicate floor "Bulkhead Fr. 30". The coded part is displayed below:

Please notice that coded part is presented upside down by default.




You will remove the additional part of the floor "Bulkhead Fr. 30" by modifying thecontour of this floor. The part to be removed is illustrated in the figure below:

Let's change the plate by selecting the function "Change plates" from the toolbar:

Select the option "Change plate" from panel "Plates" :

According to the hint "Indicate construction part that has to be modified" you select plate"Bulkhead Fr. 30". Next, the system will display panel "Relations overview" with thecurrent plate boundaries:

Also the corresponding panel with the plate contour definitions "Modify a plate contour"will be displayed.

After taking a close look at the picture, illustrating the part to be removed, and the panelwith the current plate boundaries, it will be obvious that the following relations define thepart, which should be removed: relation "maximal height at 2785" relation "minimal breadth at 3920".So in order to remove the additional part of the floor, located the left side of longitudinalbulkhead 3960, you must remove both relations!



According to the hint "Indicate relation to be changed" you select the boundary with amaximal height of 2785 mm from base. This relation will be highlighted in panel"Relations overview":


By selecting the 'Undo/Remove' button, the selected plate boundary will be removed.

Now remove in a similar way the other plate boundary with a minimal breadth of 3920mm.

After removing both boundaries, you select the 'Compute' button to get a preview of themodified plate. You will see that the plate boundary, which is related to the longitudinalbulkhead 3960, is automatically extended to the hull line. The result of your modificationsare reflected within panel "Relations overview":



Finally select the 'OK' button to create the modified floor "Bulkhead Fr. 30".
