| | Function General
This is the panel to design a new rod which has a straight
taper, or sometimes be useful to make anyway a dummy taper for designing taper
from "scratch".
By using this panel together with the modification capability of Dimension input
panel, user can design a rod with the method of "slope and stand
up" of dimension. How to use:
 | Specify three dimension numbers explicitly on the first three
points (e.g. point 0, 5 and 10 for 5" interval) of specified PF station
interval. |
|
Specify the stand up number as slope per inch. |
|
Specify the unit of figures. |
|
Specify if swelled butt is to be designed or not. Swelled butt is designed
according to the formula of Everett Garrison. For longer rods than 8
feet, Maximum swell is designed and for shorter rods, Minimum swell is
designed automatically. If you want to change this, you can use
Dimension Input Panel to change dimension at each point. |
