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 trainers and 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 Support Department) - 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 (select topic link 'Start situation') of what you should see on your screen after the accompanied drawing is opened ("OPEN DRAWING"). The name of the topic is the same as the drawing (view) to be opened. - 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 previous training steps, the action is marked as a topic link which will be displayed when selecting this topic link. To return to the 'Overview of actions' you can use one of the 'arrow' icons which 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 training steps, but should be used in a slightly different way or with other values this is indicated by the sign at the end of the action. This means that this action is further described in the '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 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 the mirrored 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. and

Overview of actions: 1. Start NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull
1.2.2
Start NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull
Please start the application NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull by selecting the NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull icon on your desktop:
When the program has started up, it will always ask you to select the name of a project and 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;
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
"bnrtraining", "bnrdemo" and "bnrveg1500". The training project "bnrtraining" is the default project and is shown in the left upper input box. This project contains three blocks, which are presented on the right part of the panel in a list. These blocks belong to the group 'Hull' as it is presented in the combo box above the list. A project can have more groups and only those blocks will be presented which are assigned 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".

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 person can work at the same time in one block. If you want to start with a new block, you always enter an existing block of the project you need to work on. Therefore you have selected
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
the existing block 999 from the project bnrtraining within the previous training step. From this block 999 you will create a new block named 108. To create block "108" you select "File"->"NEW" ->"BLOCK" from the menu and enter the block name 108 in the panel "Create Block":
On the left part of this panel you find the current available blocks. This panel also contains 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 training course you will skip the other fields 'Width grid' and 'Height grid' and accept the presented 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 which you will be presented with the following panel:
This panel enables you to define an area for the created block, please use the following values to define this area: enter the values 2 2 + 9 and 31 for 'Length'
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
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 as well. You will only work in block "108" and will probably need information from the other blocks to 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
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
In the next step, you can create views. A view has an area in which the constructions will be 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.

1.4.1.1
Create views
Create top views
In the previous training step you have created a new block 108 and indicated which blocks need to be drawn or dashed. Because you have answered the question "Do you want to make views yet?" with YES, the system gives you the possibility to create new views 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 "Deck 3500 above base". Overview of actions: 1. Create top views "Deck 6200 above base" and "Deck 3500 above base"
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
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. This area is specified by it's values for the length, breadth and height. Make this area always bigger than the area of the constructions in the current block, this way, the constructions of 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 above base" 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 of the 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 on starboard 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.
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
Breadth' at the current position. If you don't know a value and you want the value to be
determined 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' are just the opposite. You don't enter a value for 'Min. Breadth' but leave it blank and you enter 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 frame number 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 presentation instead 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 is created. Since you have to create a second top view "Deck 3500 above base", you select the 'Next top view' button.
After selecting the 'Next top view' button the same panel "Top view" appears again
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
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' needs to be changed, because this view is not so wide as the previous view. Let's modify the value 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 this point. Two top views have been created with their drawing names "108-6200" and "108-3500".

1.4.2.1
Create side views

After the creation of top views the system automatically gives you the possibility to create one 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". Overview of actions: 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 6600 off 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:
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
10
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 the view must start from the hull line, no value is entered for 'Min. Height'. The view should stop just above the upper deck "Deck 6200 above base" , Therefore you should insert the 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' from 3960 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" is positioned at 6600 from centerline, so the new value for 'Breadth' is 6600. All the other values are correct. At the moment you will not create more side views, but finish the creation of side views by selecting the 'Create' button.

Create frame views

After the creation of side views the system automatically gives you the possibility to create one or more frame views. In this training step you will create eight frame views "Frame 23" to "Frame 30". Overview of actions: 1. Create frame views "Frame 23" to "Frame 30"
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007

1.4.3.2
Create cross view
You will create eight frame views "Frame 23" to "Frame 30" as part of the block creation process. 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 aft perpendicular, but just the aft most frame number! In this case the aft most frame number is 23. Officially the 'Min. Height' could be left blank, meaning the view will start from the hull baseline, but the shape is rather high and you don't need the lower part of it. 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 in one 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 the creation of frame views.
As you can see in the dialogue window for output, the frame views are created one by

Deck 6200 above base

Start situation Now you will start making your first plate. When creating plates it is very important to determine 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 "Deck 3500" and a longitudinal bulkhead "Long. bulkhead 6600" in between those decks. This means 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 sequence results 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 deck consists of one plate with a thickness of 8 mm. Overview of actions: 1. Clear the screen if at this point you already have opened a drawing. This can be done by selecting the "Blank drawing" button from the toolbar.

One of the most frequently used functions within NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull is the creation of plates. The plate creation function has a considerable number of options, due to the fact that plates can have very different shapes. During this training course you will create several plates with increasing level of complexity. Each plate has a specified thickness and contour. Within the current application 3D-Contek the plate will always be situated in the plane of the current view. Within NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull plate boundaries must be defined counterclockwise. 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 the values for 'Thickness' and 'Thickness direction' will be of concern during the basic training course. In this case plate "Deck 6200" has a thickness of 8 mm and the thickness 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".
19
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
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 must be entered as 22+ 100 for 'Min. Length'; Applying the rule that plate boundaries must be defined counterclockwise, the next boundary of the plate is the hull line. This boundary can be defined by giving an indicating point inside the hull at the graphical window; The next boundary is the forward boundary of the plate located at frame 31. Select the '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 the centerline. 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 or maximum) 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.

1.7.1

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 from two separate plates: A deck with thickness 10 mm; A deck with thickness 12 mm. Overview of actions: 1. 2. 3. 4. open drawing top view "108-3500" Place standard text "Deck 3500 above base" above view Create plate "Deck 3500" with thickness 10 mm Create plate "Deck 3500" with thickness 12 mm but without cutout
End situation
Additional description of actions: 1. open drawing top view "108-3500" open drawing top view "108-3500" is similar to open drawing frame view "108-27", but you have to select "Top" as type of view and "108-3500" as drawing name within panel "Open drawing".

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' 'Max. Length' 'Min. Breadth'
22 + 9 ( 9: assumed thickness of transverse bulkhead ) Indicate the hull line 26 - 50 3920
1.7.2
Create plates (2)
Now you will create the second plate "Deck 3500" with thickness 12 mm but without cutout. If you take a close look at the drawing, you will detect a little jut in the contour of this plate. This jut is located at the upper left corner of the plate:
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
22
Due to the jut in the plate contour, the creation of this plate will be more complicated than the 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 'Thickness direction' in panel "Plate thickness and type of material".
The second plate "Deck 3500" has a thickness of 12 mm and the thickness direction is from base. After selecting the 'OK' button, you have to specify the plate boundaries or plate relations by means of the panel "Define a plate contour".
23
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
As a reminder, please be aware of the following rule:"The plate boundaries must be defined counterclockwise!" The boundaries of plate "Deck 3500" with thickness 12 mm will be defined by using a reference 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 this situation you don't have to use the 'Min. Length' button; Applying the rule that plate boundaries must be described counterclockwise, the next boundary 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 frame 31. 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 the centerline. 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 the entry box; The last boundary of the plate is a line with a parallel distance of 3920 from the centerline. Select the 'Min. Breadth' button and enter 3920 as new value in the entry box. After defining all boundaries of plate "Deck 3500" you can preview the result by pressing
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007

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 contain several minimum and maximum lengths!

Long. section 6600 off CL

Start situation Now you will create the longitudinal bulkhead "Long. bulkhead 6600" in between the decks "Deck 6200" and "Deck 3500". Overview of actions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. open drawing side view "108-6600" Choose Update active block to see the decks you have created earlier Place standard text "Long. section 6600 off cl" above view Shift baseline Create plate "Long. bulkhead 6600" without corner holes Create standard holes with dimensions 850 / 450 mm Dimension holes Create de-aeration/draining holes with radius 50 mm
Two small corner holes are still missing here. They can be created by using the toolbar icon "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 be topological! 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 option will be explained later. End situation

Update active section
When you open a drawing by using the toolbar icon "open drawing", the program asks you to update the view by displaying a message panel:
You can choose between three options: : update only the current block 1. Update Active block 2. Update all blocks : update all blocks, which are enabled to be displayed within the current block : Do not update the current block 3. Do not update Updating a block means regenerating the view to present all previously created construction parts within the area of the current view which have not been saved in the drawing already.

Shift baseline
Now you will move up the baseline from the zero level, because the baseline is a little bit too far away from the hull line. By lifting the baseline up, you don't loose additional space on 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:

Create plates (3)
Now you will create plate "Long. bulkhead 6600" with thickness 10 mm but without corner holes. This plate will be created between the decks "Deck 6200" and "Deck 3500". You have created deck "Deck 3500" out of two separate plates with different thicknesses and therefore 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 these decks 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 'Thickness direction' in panel "Plate thickness and type of material":
This plate has a thickness of 10 mm and the thickness direction is from CL. Ignore the value for 'Shift of working plane', Select the 'OK' button and specify the plate boundaries.
29
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
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" is the thickness of the aft bulkhead is taken in account; The next boundaries are the lower decks "Deck 3500", consisting of two deck plates with 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 lower boundary of this plate. But before zooming in, it is recommended to display background lines by selecting the option "view" -> "plate presentation"-> "Show background lines":
Accept the default option 'all plates' within panel "Actual position":
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007

All plates in block are standard displayed as one green line, but with this option the real thickness lines of plates in block are displayed in blue color, while the border lines of plates 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 zooming in, there is a difference in usage: After selecting the toolbar function "Zoom in", you use the mouse to define the area on which 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 in zooming in one step. The current position of the cross hair is used as focus point for the zoom process. Indeed, the bulkhead contains a small step. Remove the background lines by using the little cross in the upper right corner of the panel 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.
31
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Unfortunately these four holes can not be created in one step, you have to create them in 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 the position of the centre point of the first aft most hole and the fields 'To frame' and 'To height' 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 the first 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 the number of items will be automatically calculated as 2. Notes: If the cursor is already at the right position, you can use the button 'Hole at current control'. The corresponding values will then automatically be shown in the panel. After you have defined the centre point of the first hole, the cursor will move to this position. You can check the actual values for 'Step size' and 'Number of items' by using several times the <Tab> key.
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007

Create draining / ventilation holes
You will create three upper holes and three lower holes with radius 50 mm. The upper holes 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 be created in one action. In this case only two holes can be created in one action, so you must create the remaining hole separately. Let's create two ventilation holes in one action by selecting the toolbar icon "Create draining/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 have to indicate just below the upper deck. After indicating this deck, you enter the position of the aft most and the forward ventilation hole by means of panel "Create draining/ventilation holes":
Within this panel the fields 'From frame' and 'To frame' are used to determine the position of the aft most and the forward ventilation hole. Again no values are needed to be entered for 'Step size' and 'Number of items'. By selecting the 'OK' button, the two ventilation holes are created. The remaining ventilation hole is positioned at frame 30 minus 100 mm and can be created using the same procedure. Within panel "Create draining/ventilation holes" you only have to enter value 30-100 for 'From frame'. Select the 'OK' button to create the third ventilation hole.
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007

Create two small holes with diameter 50 mm 7. Create holes parallel to hull line with diameter 50 mm 8. Create transverse deck beam at FR28 9. Create two longitudinal deck beams at 1320 off cl 10. 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 seams 13. 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 make these beams with a fixed value here, but it's better to wait a while until you have created the longitudinal bulkhead "Long. bulkhead 3960". Then you can relate the deck beams to this bulkhead.

5. Dimension holes The dimensioning of holes with diameter 450 mm is similar to the dimensioning of standard 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 frame 31. Nevertheless these holes can be created in one go with the following properties:

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 'Step size ', 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 frame positions, you enter a value "2" for option 'Number of items' instead of a value for option 'Step size'. By means of the <TAB> key, you can check later on the value for
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
36
'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 between the longitudinal bulkhead "Long. bulkhead 6600" and the longitudinal girder at 1320 from cl. Because all these deck beams are equal, you can make them in one go. The creation process is similar to the creation of one transverse deck beam at FR28 with the following properties:
Create profile

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 to change between drawings is to indicate a part in the current drawing. After indicating the part, 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 of selecting 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 mm forward. Within NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull every 'Create' option has also a 'Change' option to modify the earlier created part and every 'Change' option has a 'Create' option. To modify 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 options are 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:
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007

From this selection panel the upper part until option 'Highlight' will appear in many selection panels within NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull. The options of this upper part will be shortly explained here: Selection methods: Cross hair Conflict Clump Selection treatment: Select Exclude Selection buttons: All Reverse Highlight
: only the item(s) you click on is (are) selected : making a box, also items that have been only partially boxed are included : making a box, only items that have been boxed entirely are included : item(s) are selected : exclude items to be selected item(s) from the current selection : select all items at once : reverse the current selection : highlight the current selection
Now select the aft most hole . Enter the value 0+ 50 for 'In length' which means the hole
39
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
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 shift the 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 few millimeters above the hull line. Afterwards you enter the position of the holes along the hull line by means of panel "Create holes":
Within this panel the value for 'Parallel distance' stands for the distance between the
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
40
center of the holes and the hull line. Furthermore, the fields 'From frame' and 'To frame' are used to determine the position of the aft most hole and the last hole to be created towards fore ship. A difficulty for determining the concerning values for these fields 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 aft most 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 'Horizontal distance' 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 parallel to 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 the creation of plates, you should always try to refer as much as possible to other construction 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
41
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
the longitudinal bulkhead "Long. bulkhead 6600" and the longitudinal deck beam at 1320 from CL. To get the most optimum in referring, at first you will create the transverse deck beam at frame 28, then you will create the two longitudinal deck beams at 1320 from cl and finally you will create the remaining smaller transverse deck beams from frame 23 until frame 27.
Generally, all deck beams will be created using the available functions for profiles. These functions 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 other constructionparts and/or the hull. This means that any changes in the position of the other 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 also create profiles in view and arbitrary profiles.
Let's create the transverse deck beam at frame 28. Due to the vertical position of this beam 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":
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
42
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 the appropriate 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 a value 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
43
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
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 profile with respect to the reversed frame and the chosen value for 'Thickness direction'. For instance, when the profile is located aft from the reversed frame and the thickness direction is "From reversed frame" the profile will be created with it'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 'Choose plate' button is hardly used. After selecting the 'OK' button, you have to specify the length of the profile by defining it's first and second relations. Whenever possible, you should define the first and second relations by referring to other construction parts. Using the reference method results in a so-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. bulkhead 6600". 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 'Vertical distance' stands for the distance between the beam and the longitudinal bulkhead. This distance is 40 mm. You also have to define the concerning end cuts of the deck beam for 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.
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
44
Looking at the limitations of the profile, the end cut at the first limitation is specified by the first and third end shapes and so the end cut at the second limitation is defined by the second and fourth end shapes. Note: In this case you will not select the third and fourth end shape, because defining the end 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 end shape:
After specifying the lower end or first limitation of the profile, you determine the upper end or second limitation of the profile. The same panel "Border value" is presented with option '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 by selecting a position just below it. At the upper end the vertical distance from the end of the stiffener until the plate boundary should be 0 mm. Finally you have to define the end cut 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 the appropriate radius of this welding hole within panel "End type":
45
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
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 longitudinal deck 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 stopping at 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 of panel "Create profile". Generally speaking the last used type of profile is used as the default for the new one. In this situation the default type of profile HP 200 x 9 is the correct one.
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
46
Within this panel the available options are quite similar to the presented options within panel "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 be located 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 defining it's start and end points. We take as start point the aft end of the profile.
47
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
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 "Deck 6200". Refer to this aft boundary by selecting a point just in front of it, inside the plate. At the 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 deck beam. Now the forward end of the profile will be defined by means of the same panel:
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
48
The forward end of the longitudinal deck beam is limited by frame 28. Instead of entering value 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 shape type 'N'. This special type is chosen because it contains, besides the welding hole, an additional 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 and stopping at frame 31, in a similar way. The properties of this second beam are listed in the following table:

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 be divided 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 a plate 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 are able to change the position of the seams on the plate easily, since the plate is not really splitted. Therefore our recommendation is to use seams to take care of the following prerequisite: the plate must have an equal thickness! Sometimes it is required to make a part of the existing plate thicker or thinner. In such cases you have to split the plate first and then change the thickness of the concerning part. In this case the upper deck "Deck 6200" contains three seams: A horizontal seam at 1940 from CL;
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
50
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 the remaining one at 6550 from CL. These seams can't be made in one step, due to a difference in intermediate distance between them. Now we are going to create the first two horizontal seams in plate "Deck 6200", which has 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 select plate "Deck 6200". Enter the location of the first two welds to be created by means of panel "Create welds":
By pressing the 'OK' button, two soft seams are created at 1940 and 3910 from cl.
51
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Now let's create the third horizontal weld in plate "Deck 6200". This weld, positioned at 6550 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 a welding code:
This welding code is not used by everyone. If you don't wish to place a welding code, you complete the process using the little cross in the upper right corner. After you have indicated the positions whereat the weld symbols should be placed. Other wise you complete 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
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
52
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 four individual parts by coding it. Coding a plate means creating one or more DXF-output files for Computer Aided Manufacturing. These output files contain both geometric and production information of the part and will be imported in a nesting program. Generally speaking the "Code plate" option is only used for individual geometrically complex plates to verify if the generated production output is correct. In real life the entire 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":
53
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
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 the original drawing and the other part contains the coded part. With the 'Switch windows' button from panel "Coded part" you are able to switch between these windows. In this situation the first coded part in DXF-format "6116108-1-1.dxf" will be displayed within window "Code part". By using the 'Next' button you are able to display and add to this window all the coded parts belonging to this plate one by one as it is illustrated in the figure below displaying the files "6116108-1-1.dxf", "6116108-1-2.dxf", "6116108-1-3.dxf" and "6116108-1-4.dxf":
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
54
Within window "Code part" you see that every plate has it's own orientation symbol. The cutting lines are displayed in green and the marking lines are displayed in white. The white marking lines also contain one or more triangles. These triangles indicate the thickness direction of the connected deck beams. The plate is shown upside down. As part of the coding process the plate is automatically turned upside down because of the marking lines, which must be marked from above on the 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 process does not modify the original part but generates an extract from it.

In contrary with the drawing, you will follow a different approach in creating this lower part to practice additional 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. Overview of actions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. open drawing side view "108-3960" Choose "Update active block" Shift baseline Place standard text "Long. block 3960 off CL" above view Create aft plate "Long. bulkhead 3960" with thickness 10 mm from FR22 until FR29+50 6. 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 FR26-50 8. Place thickness text and part number on plates 9. Change thickness of the mid plate "Long. bulkhead 3960" from 10 to 12 mm 10. 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 holes 14. Check properties of available parts By now you have finished the lower part of this view. What still needs to be done is the creation of the longitudinal bulkhead of 10 mm and the longitudinal girder. We prefer to make these parts later, because the transfer plate at frame 29 is continuous. So it's better to make first the transfer plate at frame 29 and later on refer the small longitudinal plate and the girder to the transfer plate at frame 29.

End situation
Additional description of actions: 1. open drawing side view "108-3960" open drawing side view "108-3960" is similar to open drawing frame view "108-27", with the 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 have done 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 standard text "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+50 until FR31 The creation of forward plate "Long bulkhead 3960" with thickness 10 mm is similar to the creation of plate "Deck 6200" with the following plate boundaries:

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 and supplying the following properties:
Create draining/ventilation 'From frame' holes
22.5 25.5 50
'To frame' 'Radius'
Now create three draining holes along the hull line by indicating the hull line and supplying the following properties:
Create draining/ventilation 'From frame' holes
23.5 25.5 50
'To frame' 'Radius'

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 the hole but just outside of it. Both the arrow and the dimension will be placed outside the hole. 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 the indication point. Thus the arrow direction depends on the indication point just outside the hole, for example point 1 or point 2.

If something goes wrong with this option, you can use the hot key <DEL> to remove the dimension, but you still keep inside the option. Thus you can directly select a new proper place for the dimension of the hole. Furthermore during this option you can zoom in or zoom out by using respectively hot key <1> and hot key <3> or by using the toolbar options.
1.12.2 Create plates (4)
Now you will create the lower aft plate "Long. bulkhead 3960" with thickness 10 mm and two 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 holes always remain at the corners of the plate, even when one of its boundaries has been moved. Let's create the plate by selecting the toolbar icon "Create plate":
After selecting this icon, you enter the values for 'Thickness' and 'Thickness direction' in panel "Plate thickness and type of material":
This plate has a thickness of 10 mm and the thickness direction is from CL. Ignore the value for 'Shift of working plane', press the 'OK' button and specify the plate boundaries.

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. bulkhead 3960".
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 the hole but just outside of it. Both the arrow and the dimension will be placed outside the hole. 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 the indication point. Thus the arrow direction depends on the indication point just outside the hole, for example point 1 or point 2. You can always use the hot key <DEL> to remove the last placed dimension if you are not satisfied with the result, without aborting the option itself and you can directly select a new proper place for the dimension of the hole. Furthermore during this option you can zoom in or out by using respectively hot key <1> and hot key <3> or by using the toolbar options.

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 one big plate instead and divide this into two plates by using arrows. These arrows have the same kind of functionality as placing seams does. This means that during the coding process the plate will be split according to the used arrows. This offers you a high flexibility; If the transverse bulkhead should be continuous instead of the longitudinal bulkhead, you just remove the stopping arrow and place a continuous one. Overview of actions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. open drawing frame view "108-29" Choose "Update active block" Place standard text "Frame 29" above view Create lower plate "Bulkhead Fr. 29" with thickness 12 mm Create one upper plate "Bulkhead Fr. 29" with thickness 10 mm Divide upper plate "Bulkhead Fr. 29" in two single plates at the position of 6600 off CL by using arrows of type "stopping" 7. Switch to the longitudinal view "108-6600" to see the contra arrows 8. Return to the previous view "108-29" 9.

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 the drawing you want to open, it is of course not possible to open such a drawing by indicating 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 no construction exists and the menu appears. Here you want to switch from side view "108-3960" to frame view "108-29". So far you have not created any construction part within frame 29 and therefore you click in an empty area within side view "108-3960". The system will display panel "open drawing":

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 selecting option icon "Stopping arrows":
According to the hint "Indicate line" you select the vertical line at the position of 6600 from CL, which represents the longitudinal bulkhead "Long. bulkhead 6600". The stopping arrows will be located at the indicated position. You complete the action by closing 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 be split. When the arrow does not have this blue line symbol then it is considered as a 2D drawing symbol. This type of arrows appear f.i. when you place a stopping arrow on a plate 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:
81
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
This egg box system is mainly used in double bottoms to reduce the number of parts and to reduce man hours during fabrication. By means of coding plate "Bulkhead Fr. 29", you will examine the difference between different types of arrows. By removing the arrows of type "egg box" and placing arrows of type "stopping", you will return back to the initial situation. Overview of actions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Remove arrows of type "stopping" by using remove construction parts Place arrows of type "egg box" Code plate "Bulkhead Fr. 29" Remove arrows of type "egg box" Return to the original situation by placing arrows of type "stopping"

NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
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 be selectable. The default item type is 'Any', meaning that items of all types will be selectable. 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 default selection 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 the menu or using the hot key "Ctrl+z"

You will create the upper stiffeners HP 220 x 10 at 4620, 5280 and 5940 from CL in one action. 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
91
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
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 the values for 'From breadth' and 'To breadth' are 4620 and 5940. Now you can continue by either entering the step size or giving the number of items. Of course you can 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 the program; For now accept the presented default values 'From reversed frame' and 'Towards CL' for the options 'Body direction' and 'Thickness direction'. Later on you will verify these directions. If these directions turn out to be wrong, you will use the profile modification 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 defining it'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" by indicating a fraction above this deck. Although the vertical distance should be 0 mm, you will leave it at 40 mm. Then you need to select the end shape: the correct one should be type 'C' but select 'A' for now, please. Secondly you determine the upper end of the profile by means of panel "Border value":
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
92
According to the hint "Indicate 2nd relation" you select the upper deck "Deck 6200" by indicating a fraction below this deck. The vertical distance is indeed 40 mm. Please select type 'A' as the second end shape. After selecting the second end shape, three profiles of type HP 220 x 10 will be created at 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 following faults: 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:
93
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
The following change panel "Profiles" will be presented:
This panel contains a lot of modification options. During the basic training course, you will use the following options: Change end type of profile Change direction of profile in view Lengthen profile to line Lengthen profile Shift profile Change size/type of profile in view Turn profile
Let's start with the modification of the end types by selecting option icon "Change end type profiles":
By means of panel "Profiles selection" you select the profiles by using the default selection method 'Clump':
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
94
You make a box around the lower ends of the profiles in such a way that the end flags are 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" for the 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 from type "A" into type "C".
95
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
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 profiles are located on the aft side of the bulkhead. But when you look at the drawing, you will notice that the profiles are on the front side of the bulkhead, which are illustrated with dashed lines. Within panel "Change profiles", which is still available on the screen, there are two options for changing the direction of profiles: Change direction of profile in block Change direction of profile in view 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:
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
96
Since the upper profiles are profiles in view, you select the option icon "Direction profiles in view" from panel "Change profiles":
By means of panel "Profiles selection" you select the profiles by using the default selection method 'Conflict':
97
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
You select the three upper profiles. After selecting these, the profiles will be highlighted for 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 to change 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 of profiles:
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
98
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 "Extend profiles":
Because the profiles must be extended at the lower ends, you make a box around these lower ends in such a way that the end flags are included within this box. After selecting these profiles select the 'OK' button. According to the hint "Indicate relation to which should be extended" you select the upper side of the deck "Deck 3500". And you accept the value "0" for "Vertical distance" from this relation within panel "Extend profiles":
99
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
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 notice that these profiles have been positioned with 40 mm distance from upper end to the deck while there should not be any distance between the profiles and the deck. To fix this situation you are going to use the change options once more in order to lengthen the profiles 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 with a 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:
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
100
To select the lower profiles you make a box around the upper ends in such a way that the end flags are partially included within this box. To extend the selected profiles, you enter "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 are now 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 not in line with the bulkhead "Long. bulkhead 6600" due to a difference in thickness direction. The thickness directions of the bulkhead and the stiffener are defined as respectively "From CL" and "Towards CL". You can bring the lower stiffener in line with bulkhead by shifting the stiffener 10 mm to starboard : Select the 'Change' button from panel "Profiles" or the toolbar icon "Change profiles":
101
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
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 same plane as the plate to which it belongs. To shift the selected profile 10 mm to starboard, you enter value "10" for 'Breadth' and select 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, meaning that e.g. the distance to the hull line will remain 40 mm, due to the fact that this stiffener is topological!
1.15.8 Create profiles in view
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
102
There is still a transverse deck beam to be created. So far all deck beams have been created in the top view of the upper deck, the reasons for this are; the possibility to create a series of profiles in that view and also that you should always try to complete a view 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 the option "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. By means 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
103
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
select the 'OK' button to accept these. Now you are able to define the first and second relation of this profile. Since there are no plates or profiles available around centerline that could be used as relation 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 "Bulkhead Fr. 29" on the left hand side of it as shown below:
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
104
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 transverse deck beam HP 140 x 8. Note: The option "Profiles in view" has one restriction: you can only create one profile at 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 and the upper transverse bulkhead "Bulkhead Fr. 29". Select "Create bracket" from the toolbar:
The system will display panel "Brackets", which contains default bracket types delivered
105
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
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 select the bracket dimensions from predefined lists with standard dimensions. The following brackets 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 fixed dimensions. The user can either accept the presented default dimensions or specify his own dimensions.
Now you will create the bracket between deck beam HP 140 x 8 and the upper transverse bulkhead "Bulkhead Fr. 29". In this situation you need to use standard bracket "A" with overlapping on one side at the deck beam. On the other side the bracket will touch the bulkhead. Select bracket type A:
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
106
As the first hint suggests; "Indicate a part (or profile, to where no overlap)" you indicate the bulkhead at a position just inside of the plate. Then a second hint "Indicate profile at position where overlap has to be placed" is displayed. Because the overlap should be placed 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 the bracket. After defining all relations of the brackets, you will be presented with the main panel for the selected bracket type "Bracket type 750" :
For this bracket type the system automatically calculates the bracket dimensions according to the profile height, and displays them for 'Enter width of bracket', 'Enter dimension of bracket along overlapping part' and 'Enter thickness of bracket'. Each standard 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":

1.15.11.1 Check deck beam at portside
As a side step within this training course, you will check if your colleagues working at port side have used the same deck beam so that the situation at 100 mm from centerline fits with each other. In order to check if your colleagues at port side have used the same deck beam, you have to check if the same deck beam and end cut has been used at port side. Overview of actions: 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 you have 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 the deck 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 deck beam by using the toolbar icon "ATT?":

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 select the stiffeners and the longitudinal bulkhead one by one . The positions of these dimensions 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 first dimension. 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 for the next following dimensions to be placed. Note: During dimensioning you can always use the zoom and pan options including hot key <DEL>, due to the feature that you will remain within the selected dimensioning option! The functionality of hot key <DEL> during dimensioning is to remove the last dimension, 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 from the toolbar "draw" the icon dimensions:

1.15.13.2 Profile size (1)
You will dimension the deck beam HP 140 x 8 by placing a reference with both the sizes of 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:
115
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
"Profile size perpendicular" "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 size parallel" the hint "Select item" appears. According to this hint you can select a profile or bracket to add it's dimension. Another possibility of this option is to place user defined text. This can be achieved by selecting 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 part number and the part number symbol depending on the certain setting concerning this presentation; There are two methods by which you could determine whether a part number symbol should 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 display panel "Partsymbol settings":
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
116
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 toolbar icon "Profile size parallel":
As the hint "Select item" suggests you select the beam and the dimension appears with the optional part number symbol. The position of the dimension can be determined by pulling 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 dimension line is less than 15 degrees, the pointing arrow will be placed perpendicular to the dimension line. But in cases where the angle is greater than 15 degrees the pointing arrow will be placed according to the direction of a straight line between the indication point at the beam and the endpoint of the dimension line. The following example illustrates the described behaviour regarding the dimensioning of profiles, based on the following initial situation with an indication point on the profile and two different end points 1 and 2 outside the profile:
The result of selecting each endpoint is shown in the two figures below:
117
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
In both situations the end points are located at the right side of the indication point. It works in the same way if the end points are at the left side of the indication point; the pointing arrow will be placed perpendicular to the dimension line if the angle between the endpoint of the dimension line and the indication point is less than -15 degrees from the 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 notice that the three stiffeners, located at 4620, 5280 and 5940 off CL, are dimensioned by using one dimension text. Now you will practice this option by dimensioning a series of profiles. Select from the toolbar "draw" the icon Symbols: :
Let's dimension the upper stiffeners at 4620, 5280 and 5940 off CL by selecting toolbar option "Profile size series":
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
118
According to the hint "Indicate starting-point of check-line" you indicate just inside of the stiffener, located at 4620 off cl. Upon the second hint "Indicate end of check-line" you indicate just outside of the stiffener, located at 5940 off cl. After indicating both points you 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 the same 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 as profile size HP 220 x 10 for all stiffeners, although the profile size of the stiffener at 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 for dimensioning 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 the desired position by using the mouse-left button:
119
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Another possibility of profile dimensioning is adding only the profile size to the selected profile without the part number symbol and the part number itself. Although this option is not shown on the drawing, you will use it to dimension the upper stiffener HP 220 x 10 at 7250 off cl. Let's dimension the upper stiffener at 7250 off CL by selecting the toolbar icon "Profile size 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 dimensioning of the deck beam, but you remain on top of the stiffener. By clicking the mouse-left button at that position, now the stiffener is provided with a dimension as it is shown in the figure below, without any part number and part number symbol:
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
120
1.15.13.6 Profile symbols
Another profile dimensioning option, not applied on the drawing, offers you the ability to add a profile symbol to a specific profile. Within this training step you will add profile symbols to the three lower stiffeners HP 220 x 10 and the remaining lower stiffener HP 140 x 8.
Select "draw" -> "symbol" -> "profile symbol" From the menu Following the hint "Indicate profile(s) at positions where profile symbols are to be placed", you indicate the lower stiffeners one by one. Automatically all profile symbols will be placed at the same height, because all the stiffeners are attached to the same plate. Probably the profile symbol will be placed too low in case of the last stiffener HP 140 x 8.
121
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
To avoid this situation, you select from panel "Draw profile symbols" the option 'Place symbol at new height':
This option offers you the possibility to add the profile symbol on another position than the one used for the previous profile symbols. So indicate the lower stiffener HP 140 x 8 near 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 symbols can 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 of panel "Part number menu":
1. Adding profile part number symbols fully automatically The default presented option 'All' within panel "Part number menu" is used for placing part number symbols fully automatically. After selecting the 'OK' button all part number symbols will appear on the midpoint of the stiffeners. Sometimes the midpoint of the stiffeners will not be the right spot for these symbols. In such cases you can choose for placing the part numbers semi automatically.
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
122
2. Adding profile part number symbols semi automatically In order to have more control regarding the placement of the part number symbols, you select option 'By line' from panel "Part number menu". The option 'By line' enables you to draw a straight line across one or more profiles. The part number symbol(s) will be placed along side of this reference line crossing one or more profiles. Thus you have control over the actual position of the part number symbols. Note: you can only place one part number symbol per profile using these options.

5. Dimension stiffener at FR30 The dimensioning of stiffener HP 200 x 9 is done in a similar way as the dimensioning of the 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" is similar to the placement of thickness text and part number on the three lower plates of this 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 "Bulkhead Fr. 29" is similar to the creation of the bracket between deck beam and transverse bulkhead within frame view "Frame 29" with the following properties:
Brackets
Selected bracket type Indicate the bulkhead as first construction part Indicate the flange as second construction part 23
Bracket type 752 'Standards'
Note: Because the indicated construction parts are not profiles, the system can not determine automatically a standard bracket with the correct dimensions from the table of available standard dimensions. Thus the user must select for 'Standards' the appropriate standard bracket "23". The user can also alter the presented dimensions 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 'Enter thickness of bracket' within panel "Bracket type 752". By selecting the 'OK' button, the bracket will be created including part number "23" and panel 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 ' flanged girder'. A flanged girder and a T-girder (meaning a plate with a face plate) are not available as standard construction items within NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull. If you want to create a flanged girder or T-girder, you first need to create a plate and then add a flange or face plate to that plate, depending on the situation . Overview of actions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Create longitudinal girder "Long. bulkhead 3960" with thickness 8 mm Create cutouts around deck beams Add flange of 150 mm to longitudinal girder "Long. bulkhead 3960" Add end type symbol to the flange Dimension flange by adding it's size Add the height of the longitudinal girder "Long. bulkhead 3960" Code plate "Long. bulkhead 3960" to examine that the longitudinal girder and the flange are added together and have become one part
Additional description of actions: 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 as the 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 of the plate. The dimensions at the left upper corner are presented in the figure below:
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
126
Let's create the plate by selecting toolbar icon "Create plate":
After selecting this icon, you enter the values for 'Thickness' and 'Thickness direction' in panel "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":
127
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
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 frame 22; 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. You could type a value for 'Max. Height', but it's much better to enter a parallel distance of 50 mm from the deck. By using a parallel distance from the deck, this plate boundary will always be kept related to the deck. This is achieved by clicking first just below the deck and then entering after option 'Parallel' the corresponding value of "50" in the entry box:
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
128
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 case it's better to enter a parallel distance from the upper deck instead of entering a value for 'Min. Height'. Thus first indicate the upper deck again and afterwards enter after option '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 not only visually check the plate contour, but you can also check the defined relations by selecting 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:
129
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
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 the default 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 deck beam.
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":
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
130
According to the hint "Indicate the side of the plate where the flange/face plate should be placed" you indicate a point just below the lower boundary of plate "Long. bulkhead 3960". Now some arrows appear in the left upper corner of the plate. Those arrows indicate the contour direction of the plate. Now you should first define the size of the flange and the direction by means of the following panel:
In this case the body size is 150 mm and the body direction will be from CL. You specify the 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 with determining the start point of the flange, taking in to account the contour direction of the plate to which the flange will be attached. Due to the visible direction arrows, it will be clear that the start point will be located at the aft end of the plate. You select the aft end and the text "Starting_point" at the indication point will be presented . Now you specify the distance from the starting point by entering a value for 'Distance'. Finally you have to define the end shape for the indicated starting point. From the three presented end shapes for flanges, you select type "B" with a variable angle and nose height:
131
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
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 the end point" suggests. The end point is located at the front end of the plate. Please indicate a point at the front end and the "Ending_point" will be presented at the indication point :
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 also determined the end point of the flange. Now both ends of the flange are defined, the flange will be created and added to the
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
132
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 type of end shape used. This flag is a 2D symbol and therefore the type of symbol will not automatically 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; "Add end 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 end shape will be placed at the location of the end shape. After indicating the end shape at the specified start point of the flange the following symbol will be placed:
133
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
By indicating the end shape at the specified end point, the same symbol will be placed at the 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":
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
134
To indicate the height of the longitudinal girder, you will use dimension type 'Chain measure'. The system is asking you by displaying the hint "Give item where measure start" to indicate a point where the measure starts. In this case that can be either the lower side of 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 item where measure stop" you indicate the opposite side, meaning the lower side of the upper deck. By dragging the dimension line to a desired position you determine the location where 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 the flange are added together and have become one part. To code this plate you select "CAM" -> "Code one part" from the menu and indicate
135
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
plate "Long. bulkhead 3960". Because the procedure is similar to coding plate "Deck 6200", only the end result of the coding process will be shown here. The coded part is displayed below:
1.17
Start situation You will return to the upper deck "Deck 6200 above base" to add the missing deck beams HP 140 x 8 at frame 30, which now can be related to the longitudinal bulkhead "Long. bulkhead 3960". Overview of actions: 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
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
136
Additional description of actions: 5. Create outer transverse deck beam at FR30 The outer transverse deck beam at FR30 is created with the following properties:
Create profile

Border value
: Because the seam will be ignored, you can indicate the seam in order to select the longitudinal 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 see the plate of the longitudinal girder and not it's flange. The flange is positioned 400 mm below the deck level of 6200. In this case the visibility distance is not big enough. By increasing the visibility distance, you will make the flange visible within the current top view "108-6200".
137
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
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 "Visibility settings":
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007

You need to change the face plate view distance from the default value 100 into at least 400. 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 existing transverse 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:
139
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Because the selected deck beam must be shifted one frame, you select button 'Shift' and specify 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
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
140
enter a value for 'Amount' and for option 'Step' . By selecting the 'OK' button, the copy command will be executed. The result will be the creation of a new deck beam HP 140 x 8 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 and move functions.
1.18
Frame 23
Start situation You will switch to frame view "108-23" to add the bracket between deck beam HP 140 x 8 and longitudinal bulkhead "Long. bulkhead 6600". Afterwards this bracket will be copied to frame 24, 25, 26, 27 and 30. Overview of actions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. open drawing frame view "108-23" Choose "Update active block" Place standard text "Frame 23" above view Dimension transverse deck beam Create bracket "A 02" between deck beam and longitudinal bulkhead Create the same brackets at other frame positions by copying the bracket from frame 23 to frame 24, 25, 26, 27 and 30

NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
The dimensioning of the transverse deck beam HP 140 x 8 is done in a similar way as the 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 and transverse bulkhead within frame view "Frame 29" with the following properties:
Brackets
Selected bracket type Indicate the bulkhead as first construction part Indicate the deck beam as second construction part 02
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 the toolbar icon "TEXT":
After selecting this icon, the cursor will be automatically positioned at the position of the last used standard text at frame view "Frame 29". If you want to have all standard texts in one line, you can use current control in panel "Text menu" to achieve this.
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
142
Select option 'Current control' in panel "Text menu":
Select as standard text "Frame 23" and this text will be placed at the current cursor position. Now the text "Frame 23" will be at the same spot as the standard text "Frame 29" 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 the same position as frame 23. The brackets at these frame positions can be created by
143
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
copying the bracket from frame 23. Only the bracket at frame 28 can not be created by copying the bracket from frame 23, due to a different deck beam size HP 200 x 9 instead of HP 140 x 8. Use of the copy command is only successful if the situation at the place where the parts are copied to is the same as the original place where the parts are copied from Now you will create the brackets at frame 24, 25, 26, 27 and 30 by copying the bracket from frame 23. Select the toolbar icon "Copy items":
Select the bracket by using the default selection method 'Cross hair' within panel "Copy items":
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 "Copy items". All options within the tab "Shift" will be explained using the figure below:
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
144
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 the direction in which to copy. 3. 'Shift actions' ; these "action counters" indicate the number of entered actions and whether they were entered correctly ( ) or not ( ). 4. 'Show overview'; this displays or hides the overview of the copy actions to be executed (see 'Overview of the entered copy actions'). 5. 'Preview' ; this button enables the user to have an impression in the Hull Viewer of how 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 moving items). If the desired amount is greater than one, then for at least one of the copy actions a step should be entered which defines the distance between the resulting parts.
Now you will specify the necessary copy commands for the selected bracket by means of panel "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 frame 24, 25, 26 and 27"
145
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
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 the first 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 of the 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 to define multiple copy actions at the same time. Select the tab 'Settings' and the following panel will be presented (See ' 'Influencing the copy result'):

Select the option 'Accumulate all valid copy actions' which enables you to define multiple copy actions at the same time(See also 'Multiple copy actions at the same time'). 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.

Overview of actions: 1. 2. 3. 4. open drawing top view "108-6200" Choose "Update active block": the created brackets will not be visible in this view Make the brackets visible by increasing the "distance behind view" 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 and 5940 off C.L.". You can find these views at the second drawing sheet. The creation of these views enables you to make the upper and lower brackets, which will be related to the 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 the viewing depth is not big enough. You will make them visible by increasing the visibility distance, 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?":

By default all plates in block are displayed as green lines when their thickness is not bigger 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 lines which 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 blue color, while the border lines of plates in view are displayed in yellow color. This functionality 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 the brackets 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 by selecting the toolbar icon "DRAW?" and selecting from panel "108-6200" button ' Visibility':

and "Long. section 5940 off CL". Because the best procedure is to copy first these two brackets and afterwards create the side views, you will copy the upper and lower bracket within this training step. During the next two training steps you will create the side views "Long. section 5280 off CL" and "Long. section 5940 off CL". Overview of actions: 1. 2. 3. 4. Create new side view "Long. section 4620 off CL" Save drawing side view "108-4620" Place standard text "Long. section 4620 off C.L. SB" above view Create upper bracket "763" between stiffener HP 220 x 10 and deck beam HP 140 x 8 at frame 30 5. Change location of dimension belonging to the upper bracket 6. 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 30 9. 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
Additional description of actions: 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 the floor. 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 the properties for this copy action :

Start situation Now you will switch to the application "3D-Show" to create the upper plates from frame 23 to frame 28, located between the lower deck "Deck 3500" and the upper deck "Deck 6200". 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 series of 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 the initial plates, when you are start with a new building block. For this training block you have not used the application "3D-Show" for creating initial plates so far in order to avoid confusion for you as a beginner. Overview of actions: 1. 2. 3. 4. Switch to application "3D-Show" Show active block in a 3-dimensional environment Shade lines from active block Create plates between decks "Deck 3500 " and "Deck 6200 " from frame 23 until frame 28 5.

According to the hint "Indicate construction part that has to be modified" you select the forward plate "Deck 3500". Next, the system displays a list of all the boundaries of the selected plate in the panel called "Relations overview" and you are also presented with the panel "Modify a plate contour". Now you have to indicate the relation which needs to be changed. Taking in account the rule that you should always work in a counterclockwise direction, you select the boundary of the plate located at frame 31. This relation will be highlighted in panel "Relations overview":
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
228
You will create the cutout in deck plate "Deck 3500" by starting from the indicated relation. 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 mm above the longitudinal bulkhead 6600. Start by indicating a point above the longitudinal bulkhead 6600 to select the deck and entering the value "20" for 'Parallel' . Next, you define an angle of 150 by selecting option 'Angle from' instead of 'No crossover' and entering the value of "150" for 'Angle from' :
The value for the angle must always be confirmed by pressing the Note: <ENTER> key. The second boundary is defined by a parallel distance of 100 mm from the longitudinal bulkhead 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' and entering the value "300"; The third boundary is defined by a parallel distance of 250 mm from the transverse bulkhead at FR29. So indicate the transverse bulkhead at FR29 at the front side and enter 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 it and enter the value "150" for 'Parallel' ;

1.40.3 Modifications on sheet drawings

Start situation If modifications are necessary, you will generally not carry out your modifications at the sheet drawing level but within the individual views, which have been imported to the sheet drawing. All structural modifications should be carried out within single views and not within the sheet drawings environment The general procedure for carrying out modifications, which should be reflected in the corresponding 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 within NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull the sheet drawing is automatically updated! To illustrate this modification procedure, you will modify frame view "108-23" by adding a bracket 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 by looking for the added bracket. Overview of actions: 1. 2. 3. 4. Load drawing frame view "108-23" Choose "Update active section" Create bracket "D 25" between lower deck and longitudinal bulkhead 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 of completeness, a list of general modifications for sheet drawings have been added to this training step.

Additional description of actions: 4. Load sheet drawing with drawing number "108" and sheet number "1" to check if it has been updated After loading the sheet drawing, which is similar to loading an existing sheet drawing, you can verify that the added bracket within frame view "108-23" also appears at the sheet drawing. 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 is displayed 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 the sheet drawings environment and return to the normal 3D-Contek environment. The view will be presented on the graphical screen. 2. Select "Open drawing" from the toolbar, while you still have a sheet drawing on the screen; Click somewhere outside the sheet in the black area of the screen. In this case the system will display panel "Choose sheet" with a list of available sheet drawings. After selecting another sheet drawing from the list, the current sheet drawing will be saved and 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.

distinctive description of the revision for 'Description' . After selecting the 'OK' button, all information about this revision will be added to the revision 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 be loaded 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 "Select a 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, drawing lines, 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 the button "Modify drawing" from the toolbar:
Next, you determine the view to be modified either by selecting this view from the sheet drawing itself or by selecting it from a list of available views in the sheet drawing in the panel "Selection menu":
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL

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 this drawing you will ignore the ice frame at frame 22.5. With exception of the ice frame at frame 23.5, all ice frames are supported by a flat bar at the lower end. You will create these flat bars as well. In order to create these ice frames with supporting flat bars, you will perform the following 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 ice frames HP 200 x 9 instead of alongside of these ice frames. To achieve that the flat bars are positioned alongside of the ice frames, you have to turn them from their vertical position to the desired position alongside of the ice frames. This correction must be carried out for each ice frame in the corresponding frame view and 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. Overview of actions: 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 view 5. Create first ice frame HP 200 x 9 6. 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 frame 10. Copy ice frame with the supporting flat bar to frame 25.5 until frame 30.5 11. Load drawing frame view "108-24d5" 12. Choose "Update active block" 13. Determine the angle at the lower end of the first ice frame 14. Turn the flat bar to it's correct position along the first ice frame 15. Correct the position of the remaining flat bars at frame 25.5 until frame 30.5

23.5 3400 6500 6500 8 1 deselect this, because you don't need the centre line 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 the corresponding views by selecting the concerning parts. So selecting the ice frame at frame 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 to be loaded, from the list in the panel "open drawing".

Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
You will create the supporting flat bar ST 150 x 10 of the second ice frame HP 200 x 9 at frame 24.5 by using the "arbitrary profiles" option. The supporting flat bar ST 150 x 10 will be created between the start point P and the endpoint P within top view "Deck 3500". The exact position of these points are given in the next figure:
The start point P 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 P 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 of 60 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":
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL

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" are correct. By selecting the 'OK' button you have completely defined the start point of the profile. 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.
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Version 5.2 05/2007
272
You define these relations and the second end shape, which will be of type "B'" with the same 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 be created 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 retrieving information about this ice frame.
273
Version 5.2 05/2007
NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL
Let's get the angle at the end of the ice frame by selecting "Information"->"Line information" from the menu. According to the hint "Indicate a line" you select the line of the ice frame as illustrated below:
After indicating this line, the system displays panel "Line information" with the information about the selected line:
The angle at the lower end of the ice frame will be nearly equal to the angle of the selected line. This angle is rounded off to 50 degrees and consequently the flat bar must be 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 x 9. Within the current frame view "108-24d5" the flat bar needs to be turned 40 degrees.

Additional description of actions: 3. Check if the floor is really available You can check if the floor is really available by activating the background lines. You will see that the floor is there, but the upper line is missing. Within NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull all relations of the plates which are related to other plates are not shown. This floor is originally 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 automatically detecting 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 information function. 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 and size of stiffeners at frame 26. 15.

Now let's define the start and end point of the new line and it's dash type by means of panel "Border value":
You define the first point, where the line should start, by indicating the upper boundary near the longitudinal bulkhead 6600. But the actual start point P1 will be the intersection point 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 the longitudinal bulkhead 3960. The end point P2 will be the intersection point of the upper boundary 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 the floor:

You specify the same distance 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 also defined the end point of the flange. Now both ends of the flange are defined. Next you select the 'OK' button to create the flange on the floor "Bulkhead Fr. 30".
You can check if the flange has really been added to floor "Bulkhead Fr. 30" by coding this floor. First you select "CAM"->"Code plate" from the menu and secondly you indicate 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 the contour 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 the current 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 panel with the current plate boundaries, it will be obvious that the following relations define the part, 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 longitudinal bulkhead 3960, you must remove both relations!

According to the hint "Indicate relation to be changed" you select the boundary with a maximal 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 3920 mm. After removing both boundaries, you select the 'Compute' button to get a preview of the modified plate. You will see that the plate boundary, which is related to the longitudinal bulkhead 3960, is automatically extended to the hull line. The result of your modifications are reflected within panel "Relations overview":
