Pulp Segments
There are two parameter and several hard coded constants used to compute
pulp segments in the stembucking module.
Parameters that are configurable:
- StemMaxChippableDiameter Pulp segments with a diameter larger
than this parameter (in inches) are increased in length to be at least
as big as StemMinHugePulpLength. Typical value 18 inches.
- StemMinHugePulpLength The minimum length (in inches)
of a pulp segment that
has a diameter bigger then the StemMaxChippableDiameter. StemMinHugePulpLength
is restricted to be less than the hard coded StemMaxPulpLength.
Typical value 48 inches = 4 ft. Currently, 72 inches = 6 ft is the
maximal value for StemMinHugePulpLength. High values of StemMinHugePulpLength
can literally turn a reasonable stem entirely into pulp.
- ShortestLogInCombos and ShortestCombo These
parameters are obtained from the combo database. At one time these
could be different but now they both are the shortest length of
a log solution. Typical value 100 inches = 10 feet plus 4 inch slop.
Parameters that are hard coded:
- StemMaxPulpLength It is seven feet in inches, that is 84 inches.
All pulp segments are less than this length.
