Anyone have a good tool that automatically picks waves from a transfer function to recreate that tranfer function with as few waves as possible, preferably for SACS?
Or perhaps you can import the function into MathCAD and there is a function that can recreate the curve using only straight line...

For the application we are working on there is no way to avoid the outplane angle as there are multiple sling angles as the structure is rotated.

In the offshore industry, "padeye" is the norm to describe lifting lugs. I dont think I ever heard someone use the term lifting lug.
Crosby talks about out of plane loading but only in context of the shackle, not in designing a padeye.
Suppose you had an arc segment and wanted to extrude a pipe around the arc. The ends of the arc segment are not perpendicular to the x or y axes. How would you set up the UCS so it is perpendicular to the end of the arc so you can draw your pipe profile around it?
Was wondering how common it is to consider the shackle eccentricity when considering the outplane moment on padeyes.
IOW, instead of considering it acting at the pinhole you consider the sling force acting on the shackle tip.
For larger outplane angles this could be significant. Do you...
If I have a unity check matrix:
.67
.90
.55
UC = .54
.90
1.03
.68
I want it to do a check of all the numbers in the matrix and if a number is above one I want it to say "NG", otherwise write "OK". However I dont want to do a bunch of OR...
