(New or interesting aspects of GHS that you may not know about) |
|
CYLINDER Chains
(Requires GHS Part Maker version 16.34C or later) |
| The CYLINDER statement within the Part Maker CREATE command has an unadvertised feature that is best described by an example: |
|
CREATE RIG\MAST CLASS SAIL CYL 14.0F, 0, 13.8, 14.0F, 0, 60.0, 1.0 COMPONENT STAY CYL ^, ^, ^, 52.0F, 0, 24.4, 0.1 / |
|
| This works even when the second endpoint of the cylinder axis is given indirectly by Length, Swing (azimuth), and Toping (elevation). For example, |
|
CREATE RIG\BOOM CLASS SAIL CYL 14.5F, 0, 19.0, 40.0, 0, 10, 1.0, LST COMPONENT TOPLIFT CYL ^, ^, ^, 14.0F, 0, 60.0, 0.1 / |
