CUPPING_LE_OFFSET CUPPING_LE_OFFSET[2-10] |
See "Calculations" |
This keyword must be set for the FULL_CC and FULL_CV calculation methods. It controls how far away the leading point is from the leading edge. You can create 1 to 10 cupping keywords. For this keyword, a circle is drawn around the leading tip, with the radius equal to the offset. This tip-arc intersects the MCL, which creates an MCL point. Then a line is drawn perpendicularly to the MCL at that point to intersect the concave or convex side (depending on the method). |
Positive Real |
CUPPING_TE_OFFSET CUPPING_TE_OFFSET[2-10] |
See "Calculations" | This keyword must be set for the FULL_CC, FULL_CV, TE_CC, and TE_CV calculation methods. It controls how far away the trailing point is from the trailing edge. You can create 1 to 10 cupping keywords. Full_CC and Full_CV For this keyword, a circle is drawn around the trailing tip, with the radius equal to the offset. This tip-arc intersects the MCL, which creates an MCL point. Then a line is drawn perpendicularly to the MCL at that point to intersect the concave or convex side (depending on the method). TE_CC and TE_CV For this keyword, there are three radii around the trailing tip, each of which intersect the MCL. Then, three line segments intersect the concave or convex side (depending on the method). |
Positive Real |
CUPPING_TE_OFFSET_B CUPPING_TE_OFFSET[2-10]_B |
See "Calculations" |
This keyword must be set for the TE_CC and TE_CV calculation methods. It controls how far away the trailing point is from the trailing edge. You can create 1 to 10 cupping keywords. For this keyword, there are three radii around the trailing tip, each of which intersect the MCL. Then, three line segments intersect the concave or convex side (depending on the method). |

Nominal Keywords
The Tolerance file contains a default section followed by one or more individual tolerancing sections. Any parameters or tolerances called out before the SECTION keyword become default tolerances. Default parameters and tolerances copy to each section prior to reading the section parameters and tolerances.
Calculations are toleranced by using the appropriate calculation keyword, followed by the lower and upper tolerances (or specification limit), and optionally the nominal value. These values are interpreted as tolerances or specification limits depending on the current tolerance type setting (see SETSPEC and SETTOL above).
Following the SETSPEC or SETTOL command:
The SECTION keyword with the option "I" parameter that specifies whether the section is a default.
Any calculation followed by its lower tolerance or specification limit, and then its upper tolerance or specification limit. Finally, a nominal override can be added as a third parameter in case the splines given to PC-DMIS Blade produce imprecise nominals.
