About the Customization of Standard Files for Compensations

The methods described in this task apply to joggles relying on a flange with a base feature (either a web or a flange) without joggles.

This page discusses:

Method 1

This topic provides information about the methods 1.

The type of modifications performed depends on the position of the joggle with regards to:

  • the end of the part:
    • near the end of part (case 1)
    • not near the end of part (case 2)
  • the position of other joggles:
    • twin joggles (case 3)
    • double joggle near the end of part (case 4)
    • double joggle not near the end of part (case 5)

How the different cases and the deformation are managed

This sub-topic provides information about the way the different cases and the deformation are managed.

Six values are used in the following description: C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, Ra. These values are defined in a design table. The path to this design table is defined in the Std_Method1.xls file.

Here is an example of a design table:

JoggleCompensation_C1 JoggleCompensation_C2 JoggleCompensation_C3 [...]
75 5 150 [...]

[table continued below]

[...] JoggleCompensation_C4 JoggleCompensation_C5 JoggleCompensation_Ra
[...] 10 75 3

Case 1



The parameters necessary for performing the modifications are as follows:

  • The parameter of the feature is: S (joggle depth)
  • Some values are computed to define the type of deformation: alpha, X.

The parameter definition and links are as follows:

  • This case is applied if X < C1.
  • C1 is defined with a constant value.

This deformation is performed as follows:

  • The alpha angle is computed from S and X ( tangent(alpha) = S / X ).
  • The side and the EOP are then rotated with the alpha angle. The center of rotation is the intersection between the BTL on the flange and the side.

Case 2



The parameters necessary for performing the modifications are as follows:

The values of the modification are: C1, Ra.

The parameter definition and links are as follows:

  • This case is applied if X > C1.
  • C1 is defined with a constant value.
  • Ra is defined with a constant value.

Case 3



The parameters necessary for performing the modifications are as follows:

  • The values of the modification are: C2, C3, C4, Ra.
  • A value is computed to define the type of deformation (table) to apply: X.

The parameter definition and links are as follows:

  • This case is applied if C3 > X > C2.
  • Then: a = (X - C4) / 2.
  • C2, C3 and C4 are defined with a constant value.
  • Ra is defined with a constant value.

Case 4

This case applies only to the joggle positioned on the right; the joggle positioned on the left follows case 1.



The parameters necessary for performing the modifications are as follows:

A value is computed to define the type of deformation (table) to apply: X.

The parameter definition and links are as follows:

  • This case is applied if C4 > X.
  • C4 is defined with a constant value.

Case 5

This case applies only to the joggle positioned on the right; the joggle positioned on the left follows case 2.



The parameters necessary for performing the modifications are as follows:

A value is computed to define the type of deformation (table) to apply: X.

The parameter definition and links are as follows:

  • This case is applied if C5 > X.
  • C5 is defined with a constant value.

Method 2

This topic provides information about the method 2.



The parameters necessary for performing the modifications are as follows:

  • Input parameters for joggle compensation:
    • Material Thickness: t
    • Joggle parameters: S (joggle depth)
    • Distance between the joggle and the side of the flange: X
  • Output parameters:
    • Offset from start of joggle: a
    • Offset from end of joggle: b
    • Flange side compensation: A
    • Radius on start and end of joggle compensation: Ra, Rb

The parameter definition and links are as follows:

A, a, b, Ra, Rb are defined from two design tables. The paths to these design tables are defined in the Std_Method1_2.xls file. Std_Method1_2.xls also contains the path to each defined thickness.

For each value of a material (therefore for each thickness) in Std_Method1_2.xls, two tables defining compensation values may be defined:

A first table defining A, depending on S:

JoggleCompensation_SMax JoggleCompensation_a JoggleCompensation_b [...]
0.8 a (0.8) b (0.8) [...]
1.1a (1.1)b (1.1)[...]
1.5a (1.5)b (1.5)[...]

[table continued below]

[...] JoggleCompensation_Ra JoggleCompensation_Rb
[...] Ra (0.8) Rb (0.8)
[...]Ra (1.1)Rb (1.1)
[...]Ra (1.5)Rb (1.5)

The first line should read as follows: if (0<SMax≤0.8) then a=a (0.8); b=b(0.8); Ra=Ra (0.8) and Rb=Rb (0.8).

The third line should be read as follows: if (1.1<SMax≤1.5) then a=a (1.5); b=b(1.5); Ra=Ra (1.5) and Rb=Rb (1.5).

JoggleCompensation_SFMax JoggleCompensation_XfMax JoggleCompensation_Af
0.8 X (0.8) A (0.8)
0.8X' (0.8)A (0.8)
0.8X'' (0.8)A (0.8)
1.1X (1.1)A (1.1)
1.1X' (1.1)A (1.1)
1.1X'' (1.1)A (1.1)

The first line should be read as follows: if (0<SMax≤0.8) and (0<XMax≤X(0.8)) then A=A (0.8)

The fourth line should be read as follows: if (0.8<SMax≤1.1) and (X" (0.8)<XMax≤X(1.1)) then A=A (1.1)
