Thermal growth
When you select THERMAL GROWTH from the Menu, the Result
Setup Options appears as shown on page 4-57. Press the THERM
GROWTH softkey which allows you to enter the expected thermal
movements for the nonstatic machines (see page 4-17).
Note, for a 6-foot machine only the front and rear feet thermal
growths can be entered.
The computer uses the entered values to determine how the machine
should be aligned "cold." Here is the Thermal Growth screen:
Select either horizontal or vertical movement with the "H ? V" key
and type in the expected foot movement with the indicated softkeys;
press E
NTER after each entry.
To exit this screen, press E
NTER to return to Results Setup Options
(page 4-57).
"V"-form machines: Thermal growth is still determined in the hori-
zontal and vertical axes.
See also page 6-32 for a numerical example of thermal growth
