2NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL Version 6.0.2 12/2010

1 Basic Training Tutorial

1.1 Introduction 'Basic Training Tutorial'

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

- In section "Make block available for dashed" we need block 109, this block is themirrored block from 108. In this tutorial we expect that two persons are following thistutorial and one of them is making the block 108 and the other 109 mirror.


Version 6.0.2 12/20103 NUPAS-CADMATIC HULL

1.2 Start application

1.2.1 Basic training steps (01)

Overview of actions:

1. Start NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull

1.2.2 Start NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull

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

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



On the left part of this panel you see an overview of the current available projects;"bnrtraining", "bnrdemo" and "bnr1500" in a tree structure.The training project "bnrtraining" is the default project. This project contains two blocks,"102" and "999".

These blocks belong to the group "Hull" as indicated in the tree structure. A project canhave multiple groups and blocks can be assigned to them. The groups, as well as theblocks, can be selected in the tree and in the 'Name' column the content of the selectionis presented.

The toggles in the 'View' column determine if drawings present in a particular projectand/or block are shown in the 'Name' column, and depending on which toggles areactivated, you can filter the type of drawings to be displayed.

Please double click on the block "999" of project "bnrtraining". Now the system isentering 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 user "NCG"; The project directory or drawing name "n:\projects\bnrtraining\999"; The current position of the cursor "0, 0, 0".



1.3 Create new block


Overview of actions: 1. Create Block "108"

1.3.1.1 Create Block

First you have to create a new block. Within NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull working in a blockis restricted to only one person at a time. When creating a new block, you will first alwaysneed to enter an existing block within the project you are working on. This is the reasonwhy you have just selected block 999 from the "bnrtraining" project. From there you willcreate a new block named 108.

To create block "108", select "File" -> "New..." -> "Project/Block" from the menubarand in the panel "Create Project/Block" that appears, the blocks "108" and "109" aredisplayed. They have been pre-defined by the System Administrator.



Any pre-defined blocks will appear on the left part of this panel. This panel also containsthree fields:

'Name' 'Width grid' 'Height grid'

The new block name, which can be a name or a number, is displayed in the 'Name' field.

Please select the block "108". Now change for 'Width grid' and 'Height grid', thedefault setting from 'None' to the pre-defined values 'Width' and 'Height'.

Note: When the grid is not used, certain functions pertaining to the grid will not beavailable, and a select number of panels will appear different from the panels in thescreenshots throughout this tutorial.

Now the system creates and then opens the new block "108".

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



This panel contains four columns:

The column 'Block', which contains the groups and their blocks for which you candefine the drawing mode;

The column 'Drawn', to check blocks that you wish to be presented with drawn orsolid lines;

The column 'Dashed', to check blocks that you wish to be presented with dashedlines.

The column 'Off', to check blocks that you don't wish to be presented at all;

In general, only the block you will be working in should be presented as drawn. The otherblocks around it 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 blockswhile working in your project. When you select block 108, you can use the check boxesto define how you want it to be displayed. You can either click on the check boxes, oruse the buttons located to the right of the panel.

You can also select an entire group of blocks to appear dashed by selecting that groupinstead of just one block. Checking the 'Dashed' checkbox will allow all the blocks partof the group to appear dashed.



Please click the 'Ok' button to continue.

In the next step, you will be able to create views. A view has an area in which theconstruction will be shown. The system displays the following message panel:

Please select 'Yes' when the question 'Do you want to create views now?' appears.

The next three training steps will teach you how to create the views.

1.4 Create views

1.4.1 Create top views

1.4.1.1 Basic training steps (03)

In the previous training step you have created a new block 108 and you indicated whichblocks need to be drawn or dashed. Because you have opted to create the viewsalready, the system gives you the possibility to create new views immediately aftercreating a new block.

The creation of new views is done in a fixed order:

1. Create top views;2. Create side views;3. Create frame views.

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




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

1.4.1.2 Create top view

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

As mentioned before, a view has an area in which the construction will be shown. Thisarea is specified by it's values for the length, breadth and height. Always make this areabigger than the area of the construction in the current block. This way the construction ofthe dashed blocks will also be shown in your view.

Enter the values for the length, breadth and height of top view "Deck 6200 above base"in the 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 respectively by the frame number of theaft border and the frame number of the forward border with corresponding values 21.5and 31.5. Since you will only work on starboard, the optional fields 'Min. Breadth' and'Max. Breadth' are also filled in. Because your plate will start 100 mm on starboard sideand you also want to see part of the block on port side, the value of -500 should be

entered for 'Min. Breadth'. Unfortunately you don't know the exact value for 'Max.Breadth' at the current position. If you don't know a value and you want the value to bedetermined by the hull line, you leave it blank by not entering any value.

If you are working on port side, the values for 'Min. Breadth' and 'Max. Breadth' are justthe opposite. You enter 500 as value for 'Max. Breadth' and leave the input field for 'Min.Breadth' blank.

The following is a short explanation of the remaining optional fields:

Only one top view of this size exists, therefore the value for 'No. of Sections' has thedefault value "1";

The default value "25" for 'Scale' is used; 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 a three line presentation

instead of the default one line presentation; Activating 'Show shape' will display the hull line; Activating 'Centre line' displays the centerline where 'Position' gives you the ability

to enter an offset and 'Step' to write a number at every second frame along thecenterline. The default value for this is "2";

The 'Replace' option will be explained later on in this tutorial.

Since you have to create a second top view "Deck 3500 above base", you click the 'NextTop view' button.



After clicking the 'Next top view' button, the same panel "Top view" appears again withthe same values as default with the exception of the value for 'Height'.

The second top view you want to create is "Deck 3500 above base" with a value of 3500for 'Height'. Now let's check the other values: only the value for 'Min. Breadth' needs tobe changed, because this view is not as wide as the previous view. Let's modify thevalue for 'Min. Breadth' from -500 into 3500, meaning 3500 from centerline. Please clickthe 'Create' button since this is the last top view that you are defining at this point. Nowthe specified top views are created.

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

1.4.2 Create side views


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



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


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

1.4.2.2 Create side view (1)

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

The first side view you will create is "Long. Section 3960 off CL" with the followingvalues:

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 shouldstop just above the upper deck "Deck 6200 above base" and therefore you should enterthe value 6500 for 'Max. Height'. Because you will make the side views one by one,please click the 'Next side view' button.

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

Now the same panel "Side view" appears again with the same values except the valuefor 'Breadth'. The second side view "Long. Section 6600 off CL" is positioned at 6600from 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, and therefore finish the creation ofside views by clicking the 'Create' button.

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



1.4.3 Create frame views


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

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


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

1.4.3.2 Create cross view

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

The eight frame views can be created in one action using 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 hullbaseline, but the shape is rather high and you don't need the lower part of it. As arecommendation, 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 bechanged 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 beentered for 'No. of sections' and 'Step size'. Please make sure that the 'Base line'and "Height line" checkboxes are unchecked and click the 'Create' button to completethe creation of frame views.

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



1.5 Open Drawing


Start situation

As you can see, the graphical screen of NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull is still empty. Now youwant to have a look at the created views by opening them. For instance, you can openthe frame view "Frame 27" with the name "108-27".


1. Open drawing frame view "108-27"2. Update drawing

End situation

1.5.2 Open drawing (1)

To open a drawing you click the button "Open Drawing" on the standard toolbar:

After selecting this icon, the panel "Open Drawing" is displayed which enables you toopen a drawing.

You can select 'All' in the 'View' column to the left of the panel shown below, and all thedrawings you have just created are displayed. If you select a different toggle in the 'View'column instead of 'All', only drawings belonging to that type of view are shown. Selectinganother one will add to the selection. You can also click on the word associated with thetoggle, for example "Top", which will single out the top views only.



You can open one of these drawings by double clicking it, or selecting it and clicking onthe 'Open' button.

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

1.5.3 Update active block

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



You can choose between three options:1. 'Update Active block' : update only the current block2. 'Update all blocks' : update all blocks, which are set to be displayed

within the current block3. 'Do not update' : do not update any block

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

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

1.6 Deck 6200 above base


Start situation

Now you will start creating your first plate. When creating plates it is very important todetermine the right sequence:

As seen on the sheet you have received for this tutorial, there are two main decks "Deck6200" and "Deck 3500" and a longitudinal bulkhead "Long. bulkhead 6600" in betweenthose decks. These decks should be created first, and then you should create thelongitudinal bulkhead. This because then you can refer the bulkhead to the lower and theupper deck. This order of placement results in a so called topological connection: arelation between the plates.

Always try to achieve that a new plate can be related to existing plates!

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




1. Clear the screen if at this point you already have opened a drawing. This can bedone by clicking the "Blank drawing" button on the toolbar.

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

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

End situation

Additional description of actions:

2. Open drawing top view "108-6200"

Opening drawing top view "108-6200" is similar to opening drawing frame view "108-27",but you have to select "Top" as type of view and "108-6200" as drawing name in thepanel "Open Drawing".

1.6.2 Text (1)

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

When there is too little space above the view to place the standard text, the view needsto be shifted down by using the "PAN" option. There are two ways to go about this:

1. Press and hold down the mouse wheel while moving the mouse2. Hot key: + Mouse

Click the icon 'Draw' on the standard toolbar to open the toolbar "Draw" :

Choose from the toolbar "Draw" the icon "Text/Dimensions":



When there is enough space above the view to place the standard text, please click the"Text" button on the toolbar "Dimensions" :

After selecting this function, the panel "Text" appears:

To place standard text above a view, you only have to select one of the text lines. In thisexample please select the text "Deck 6200 above base". The selected text will appear inthe graphical screen. When the option 'Position' is set to "Interactive", by means ofthe mouse you can indicate the position where you would like to have the text placed.You can reposition the text afterwards by using the hot key in combination with the



mouse.

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

Hot key:

1.6.3 Create plates (1)

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

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

Within the current application 3D-Contek, the plate will always be situated in the plane ofthe current view. Within NUPAS-CADMATIC Hull plate boundaries must be definedcounterclockwise.

Examples of possible plate boundaries are:- Hull shape;- Plates and profiles;- Local horizontal and vertical limitations;- Lines and arcs drawn by yourself.

Select the toolbar icon "Plates" to open the toolbar "Insert Plates" :

Proceed by clicking the icon "Plates in View":



After selecting this icon, the panel "Plates in View" 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 tutorial. In this case plate "Deck6200" has a thickness of 8 mm and the thickness direction is 'from base'. Afteraccepting these values by selecting the 'Ok' button, you have to specify the plateboundaries a.k.a. plate relations by means of the panel "Define a plate contour".



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

where the plate will be created; The starting boundary of a plate can be arbitrarily selected.

The relations of plate "Deck 6200" without cutout will be defined as follows:

Start with the aft boundary of the plate and select the 'Min. Length' button. The aftboundary is located 100 mm beyond frame 22 (at the fore ship side). This value mustbe entered as 22+100 for 'Min. Length';

Applying the rule that plate relations must be defined counterclockwise, the nextboundary of the plate is the hull line. This relation can be defined by applying anindication point inside the hull in the graphical window;

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

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



The following rules can assist you in determining the type of length (minimum ormaximum) for a certain definition:

If there will be plate material (of the plate to be created) present on the right side ofthe boundary, this definition is named the Minimum Length;

If there will be no plate material (of the plate to be created) left on the right side of theboundary, this definition is named the Maximum Length.

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

1.7 Deck 3500 above base


Start situation

Now you will create "Deck 3500 above base".

Deck 3500 is a deck with two different thicknesses and therefore it must be created fromtwo separate plates:

A deck with thickness 10 mm; A deck with thickness 12 mm.


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

End situation




1. Open drawing top view "108-3500"

Opening drawing top view "108-3500" is similar to opening drawing frame view "108-27",but you have to select "Top" for the type of view and "108-3500" for the drawing namewithin panel "Open drawing".

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

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

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

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

Option Value

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

'Max. Length' 26 - 50'Min. Breadth' 3920


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

If you take a close look at the sheet, you will detect a little jut in the contour of this plate.



This jut is located at the upper left corner of the plate:

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

Let's create the second plate "Deck 3500" by selecting the toolbar icon "Plates", followedby the icon "Plates in View":

After selecting this function, you enter the values for 'Thickness' and 'Thicknessdirection' in panel "Plates in View".

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(relations) by means of the panel "Define a plate contour".



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

The boundaries of plate "Deck 3500" with thickness 12 mm will be defined by using areference to another plate as well as minimum and maximum boundary values:

Start with the aft boundary of the new plate by directly indicating the aft plate "Deck3500" with thickness 10 mm, by clicking near the right side of the line (the fore shipside). When direction indicating a line such as in this situation, you don't have to usethe 'Min. Length' button;

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

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

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

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 no plate material to the right of frame 26. Selectthe 'Max. Length' button and the previous value will disappear. Now you can enter 26as new value in the entry field;

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

After defining all relations of plate "Deck 3500" you can preview the result by pressingthe 'Preview' 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 cancontain several minimum and maximum lengths!

1.8 Long. section 6600 off CL


Start situation

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


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



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

End situation


1. Open drawing side view "108-6600"

Opening drawing side view "108-6600" is similar to opening drawing frame view "108-27", but you have to select "Side" for the type of view and "108-6600" for the drawing namewithin panel "Open drawing".

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

Placing standard text "Long. section 6600 off CL" above view is similar to placingstandard text "Deck 6200 above base" above view. Please select from panel "Textmenu"the text "Long. section 6600 off CL".

1.8.2 Update active section

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



You can choose between three options:1. Update Active block : update only the current block2. Update all blocks : update all blocks, which are enabled to be

displayed within the current block3. Do not update : do not update any block

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

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

1.8.3 Shift baseline

Now you will move up the baseline from the zero level, because the baseline as it is nowis a bit too far away from the hull line. By shifting the baseline upwards, you won't loseadditional space on the drawing.

Let's shift the baseline by selecting the function "Drawing Properties" on the toolbar:

After selecting this icon the panel "Drawing Properties" appears. Within this panel selectoption 'Base line' and change the value for 'Position' from 0 into 1500:



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

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




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

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

The boundaries/relations of plate "Long. bulkhead 6600" will be defined by referring tothese decks and then the step will automatically be included.

Let's create the plate by selecting the toolbar icon "Plates", followed by the icon "Platesin View":

After selecting this function, you enter the values for 'Thickness' and 'Thicknessdirection' in panel "Plates in View":



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.

The boundaries of the plate will be defined as follows:

Start with the aft boundary of the plate defined by the minimum length. Click the 'Min.Length' button and enter value 22+9 in the entry field. By entering the value "+9", the



thickness of the af
