Machinery Wizard and Machinery
SC Module
Instead of running the Machinery Module, ASSET contains a Machinery Wizard to
help with including machinery in the model. The Machinery Wizard is located under
the Tools menu on the left hand side (see Figure 2-4). Double click on “Machinery
Wizard” this to open it. Figure 12-1 shows the window that opens when the Machinery Wizard is selected. It shows the ten steps that will be taken to complete the
wizard. This chapter will walk through the options available in each of those steps.
12.1
Propulsor Status
The first step is the Propulsor Status (Figure 12-2), which has already been populated
by the Propulsor Module. Number of propulsion shaftlines, propulsion shaftline max
RPM, propulsor type, propeller diameter, and waterjet characteristics will be shown
in this window. These decisions were made earlier, and in order to change them, the
user must go to the Model Editor and change the parameters located there.
