1 3-arm Brackets Generated via Depth

• DescriptionNormally, the geometry of the bracket is primarily controlled by the length of the arms, eitherexplicitly given or calculated automatically by Tribon. However, for 3-arm brackets it is incertain cases more convenient to let the bracket size be controlled by the depth of thebracket. Typical examples are the two brackets in the figure below.

In most cases the free side should be parallel to the base of the bracket and the length ofthe edges should be adjusted automatically accordingly. Tribon has a new option to controlthe bracket size by the depth in these cases, normally eliminating the need to give the armlengths explicitly.

This option is supported for 3-arm brackets in bracket syntaxes 2, 3 and 7.

• BenefitsIt has become easier to generate and control 3-arm brackets specified with a given depth.

• Compatibility ConstraintsNone.

• For Further InformationSee Design Language of Planar Hull Modelling / Bracket Statement / 3-arm BracketsControlled by Depth.

3 Delete Single Shell Stiffener

• DescriptionSo far it it has not been impossible to delete a single shell stiffener from a shell profile. Thesystem only had the possibility to set the stiffener to a dummy interval or to remove acomplete branch of a shell profile. In addition, if you selected as single shell stiffener andinvoked the Delete function then the system asked OK to delete the shell profile XXX?. Ifyou answered yes the complete shell profile was deleted.

The delete single stiffener feature is now implemented. If you select a shell stiffener andinvoke Delete only this stiffener is removed. In this process, the system will split up thecurve branch that the stiffener belongs to so that the selected stiffener is on a branch of itsown. Then this curve branch will be deleted.

• BenefitsA single shell stiffener from a longitudinal or transversal can be deleted.

• Compatibility constrainsNone.

• For Further InformationNone.

4 Improved Shell Profile Inclination Control

• DescriptionIn Tribon M2, it is possible to control shell stiffener inclination angles at specific positions inthe interior of the stiffener. It is now possible to do this in Tribon M3 as well, and thehandling has been improved compared to Tribon M2. Specific inclination angles may be setat up to 100 positions in a shell profile, the location of each position being defined by theintersection between the profile trace and another object (seam, hull curve, planar panel,plane or another shell profile) or a principal plane.

The angles at intermediate points are interpolated from any nearby inclination points (or thestiffener end point).

• BenefitsThe user will have better control of the stiffener inclination angle when required.

• Compatibility constrainsNone.

• For Further InformationThis is further described in Tribon M3 Hull / Curved Modelling / User's Guide Interactive /Interactive Functions, Curved Menu / The Model Submenu / Shell Profile / Create ShellProfile / Inclination Points.

5 Deleting Panel via Scheme Removed

• DescriptionFrom Tribon M3 SP5 it is no longer possible to delete a panel via the scheme. The existingfunction Planar > Panel > Delete is to be used in stead. The reason is that with theintroduction of the multi-view project concept with Design and Production panels, thedeletion of a panel became more complex involving multiple panels that would not fit wellinto scheme generation.

• BenefitsSingle delete function for plane panels.

7 Material Orientation of Stiffeners

• DescriptionNormally, the orientation of a stiffener is defined by its direction, e.g. by the order in whichthe end points have been given. The rule is that the material will be located to the left of theline from the starting point (end point 1) to the ending point (end point 2).

By use of a new keyword MSIDE it is possible to control the material orientationindependently of the order in which the endpoints have been given (or the direction definedfor the mould line).

Remarks:

1. If the use of MSIDE is in conflict with the default rule, then the order of the end pointswill automatically be swapped after generation, i.e. if a scheme is derived from thepanel it should be possible to take away MSIDE and still get the same result.

2. The direction of the mould line is still relevant in cases when the stiffener ends e.g. atthe outer contour, because the direction in this case defines what is end point 1 and 2,respectively.

To control the orientation use MSI= AFT | FOR | SB | PS | TOP | BOT

• BenefitsLess thinking required when creating stiffeners. This may be especially useful whendescribing stiffeners on frame panels in views looking forward.

• Compatibility constrainsNone.

8 Named Cutouts in Shell Profiles

• DescriptionSince long it has been possible to use a name alias instead of a numeric cutout code whencreating a cutout in a planar panel. This is now supported also for shell profiles, both ininteractive and batch modelling. The clip arrangement optionally connected to the namedcutout in the setup file is disregarded as clips are not supported for shell profiles.

• BenefitsThe user will be able to give cutout types arbitrary names and use the same cutout names inCurved Hull and Planar Hull.

• Compatibility constrainsNone.

• For Further InformationFor details on named cutouts, please see Hull / Setup and Customisation / Cutouts andClips / Named Cutouts in Tribon M3 User's Guide.

11 Topological Sorting of Objects to Recreate

• DescriptionWhen objects are selected for recreation in Curved Hull they will from now on be sortedtopologically before the recreation starts. This ensures that the objects are updated in thecorrect order with respect to the topological connections between them.

For example, if seam B is defined as being parallel to seam A, and B and A are selected bythe user (in that order) for recreation, A will be updated first, then B.

• BenefitsThe objects selected for recreation will always be updated as expected and each object willbe recreated only once, thus giving maximum model consistency in minimum time.

• Compatibility constrainsNone.

• For Further InformationThe recreate function is described in general in Hull / Curved Modelling / User's GuideInteractive / Interactive Functions, Curved Menu / The Model Submenu.

12 Corrected Bevel Handling in Profile Ends

• DescriptionThere has been a problem to automatically select the correct bevel at profile ends. This hasbeen corrected. However, this also affects the profile interface where customer in theprograms may have compensated for the error. To still get the erroneous result in the profileinterface and not the corrected calculations, a new temporary environment variable wasintroduced.

This environment variable was introduced in Tribon M3SP4.

The name of the variable is SB_NEW_PROF_END_HANDLING and was set to any value toget the correct calculation of bevel (in M3SP4). Default for the profile interface was to getthe old erroneous values.

In Tribon M3SP5 MU1 the default result is the corrected result, but to still get the olderroneous result, the environment variable should be set (i.e. reversed handling comparedto M3SP4).

Affected keywords in the profile interface are BEVEL_CODE, BEVEL_TYPE, ALPHA, BETAand CONNECTION_ANGLE.

• BenefitsIn the profile interface, customers may continue with their in-house program and can modifyin-house program without disturbing the production.

• Compatibility constrainsNone.

• For Further InformationOnly mentioned in this release note.

13 Block Field in Panel Statement

• DescriptionThe block combo box for the panel statement form always contains all defined blocks in aproject. This list may be very long and the size of the combo box is small. Also in the formsystem used, it is not possible to get the event for more than one character (the first). Thismakes it difficult to select a block when a large number of blocks are defined.

The block filed has been changed to be a text field. In this field it is also possible to usewildcards (*) in the beginning and end of a block name. If wildcards are used (or no block isgiven), a list of matching blocks is presented in a selection window where it is possible toclick on the block to use.

• BenefitsMore easy way of setting block for a planar panel.

14 Output XML for Single Shell Stiffener

• DescriptionSince version M3 there has been a function in Curved Hull Modelling to output an XMLdescription file of all (non-temporary) curved hull modelling objects. There has been oneexception though: shell stiffeners. XML output has so far only been available for the wholelongitudinal/transversal. This is improved in TBM3SP5_MU1. You may now select a singleshell stiffener and get the XML description.

This makes it easier to modify a shell stiffener via Vitesse, to move the trace for instance.You can use the Vitesse function output_XML to get the XML description, modify the fileand then input it again with the Vitesse function run_XML.

• BenefitsYou can now modify shell stiffener via XML interface.

16 Welded Flanges - Extended Functionality

• DescriptionThe function for generation of welded flanges has been completely rewritten. As a resultimportant new functionality has become available:

• There are more options for connection of a flange to other profiles/ flanges (e.g. theflange on a bottom web may be attached to a flange on a side web at the same frameposition with proper calculation of both position and dotori angle at the end).

• It is possible to generate round bars as flanges, both on panels and brackets (currentlyfully supported only in modelling and in symbolic views).

• Straight flanges that are inclined will be generated in a correct position independent ofthe combination of inclination and material orientation of the plate material (modellingand symbolic views)

• Support has been added to treat curved flanges along limits, if they extend outside thepanel limit, e.g. at block limits.

In the latter case the following rules are apply:• If there is a curve that has been used for the boundary that extends long enough

outside the panel, the flange will follow that curve.• If not, but the limit ends with an arc of a certain size and length, this arc will be

extended to the length that the flange extends outside the limit.• If finally none of this is the case the limit will be extended along the tangent in the

end point to form a trace curve.

To control the extension outside the limit you should use a connection code. Either create anew connection code with a negative gap (basic connection type 3) or negate a connectioncode with positive gap (e.g. CON=-14). In this way you can use the same connection code(with different signs) on two adjoining panels with flanges to be connected.

• BenefitsMissing functionality has been added.

• Compatibility constrainsNone.

17 Bracket Syntax1 - Added Functionality

• DescriptionWhen generating a bracket in syntax 1, the bracket toe A is supposed to be attached to anintersecting profile. This intersecting profile may be given by the user, but if not given theprogram will automatically look for the closest stiffener. If none is found, the program willcontinue to look for a flange. If no profile at all is found, an error message has been issued.

Now this has been changed so, that in the latter situation the program will continue to lookfor a panel, that has been used as a boundary in the given direction. If found, the bracket willattach to that panel as though it was a stiffener. The user may as an alternative give anintersecting panel via input that need not be a boundary.

• BenefitsA few more brackets can be generated conveniently.

• Compatibility constrainsNone.

23 Improved Text Handling in Nesting and PLCM

• DescriptionThe text handling in Nesting and PLCM has been improved. It is now fully compatible withthe text handling in Tribon Drafting. As a consequence all Nesting and PLCM defaultparameters for text heights must be changed to be in the same order as the correspondingparameters in the Drafting default file.

With the new text handling, the same text heights can be used for small and large nestings.However, it it is still recommended to use the Nesting text functions since the burning sketchis divided into different system layers and ids for different kind of production information.Changing the contents or the properties of a text must be done using the Drafting functionModify > Properties > Text (also if the new handling is not activated).

True type fonts are now supported in the burning sketch.

The new text handling is activated by setting the environment variableSBH_NEST_NEW_TEXT_HANDLING to Yes.

• BenefitsThe text handling is uniform in all interactive systems.

• Compatibility ConstraintsThe new text handling cannot be used in old Nesting burning sketches. In such cases it isnecessary to delete the whole sketch and re-create it again.
