Template:Start tab

From CKN Knowledge in Practice Centre
50px Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

{{Start tab}} can be used to create a tabbed interface for usage on portals and projects, help pages and user pages.It can be used to organize a course page

Parameters

freeform-n
Set freeform-n = yes to allow for arbitrary code in that tab's tab-n entry rather than just being plain text and a link. See below. When using the freeform attribute, the link attribute remains empty; for example:
| freeform-1          = yes
| tab-1               = [http://www.nytimes.com/ ''The New York Times'']
| link-1              =
link-n
The tab link location, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20.
link2-n
The tab 2nd link location, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20. (only applies when using freeform-n)
link3-n
The tab 3rd link location, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20. (only applies when using freeform-n)
link4-n
The tab 4th link location, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20. (only applies when using freeform-n)
link5-n
The tab 5th link location, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20. (only applies when using freeform-n)
tab-n
The name of the tab, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20.
  • The maximum number of available tabs is 20.
  • To use the next page feature, end the page with the {{End tab}} template.

Each tab needs a link attribute with the title of the page it refers to, and a tab attribute with a label for the tab. If the current page title matches a link then that tab will be styled differently. The freeform attribute can be used with any tab (for instance |freeform-2=yes to allow for a freeform label with multiple internal and external links if desired; otherwise, the text in tab is used as a wikilink to the page specified by link.


Additional options:

frame
Set to yes to add a page frame underneath the tabs. This can be closed by adding </div></div> to the end of the page, or wherever else you want the frame to close.
frame color
Background color for frame. Default is on tab color.
border
Border style.
off tab color
Color of the currently unselected tabs.
on tab color
Color of the currently selected tab.
rounding
Add rounding effect to edges of tab boxes.
tab alignment
Override alignment of tab's title (left/center/right).
image-(N°)
Name of optional image (set to 20px) to place next to tab title.
tab font-size
Override the font size of the text in the tab.
nowrap
Prevent long names from wrapping on each tab.
tab spacing percent
Override the width between the tabs.
preums
Internally used only on Template:Page tabs

Welcome

Welcome to the CKN Knowledge in Practice Centre (KPC). The KPC is a resource for learning and applying scientific knowledge to the practice of composites manufacturing. As you navigate around the KPC, refer back to the information on this right-hand pane as a resource for understanding the intricacies of composites processing and why the KPC is laid out in the way that it is. The following video explains the KPC approach:

Understanding Composites Processing

The Knowledge in Practice Centre (KPC) is centered around a structured method of thinking about composite material manufacturing. From the top down, the heirarchy consists of:

The way that the material, shape, tooling & consumables and equipment (abbreviated as MSTE) interact with each other during a process step is critical to the outcome of the manufacturing step, and ultimately critical to the quality of the finished part. The interactions between MSTE during a process step can be numerous and complex, but the Knowledge in Practice Centre aims to make you aware of these interactions, understand how one parameter affects another, and understand how to analyze the problem using a systems based approach. Using this approach, the factory can then be developed with a complete understanding and control of all interactions.

The relationship between material, shape, tooling & consumables and equipment during a process step


Interrelationship of Function, Shape, Material & Process

Design for manufacturing is critical to ensuring the producibility of a part. Trouble arises when it is considered too late or not at all in the design process. Conversely, process design (controlling the interactions between shape, material, tooling & consumables and equipment to achieve a desired outcome) must always consider the shape and material of the part. Ashby has developed and popularized the approach linking design (function) to the choice of material and shape, which influence the process selected and vice versa, as shown below:

The relationship between function, material, shape and process


Within the Knowledge in Practice Centre the same methodology is applied but the process is more fully defined by also explicitly calling out the equipment and tooling & consumables. Note that in common usage, a process which consists of many steps can be arbitrarily defined by just one step, e.g. "spray-up". Though convenient, this can be misleading.

The relationship between function, material, shape and process consisting of Equipment and Tooling and consumables


Workflows

The KPC's Practice and Case Study volumes consist of three types of workflows:

  • Development - Analyzing the interactions between MSTE in the process steps to make decisions on processing parameters and understanding how the process steps and factory cells fit within the factory.
  • Troubleshooting - Guiding you to possible causes of processing issues affecting either cost, rate or quality and directing you to the most appropriate development workflow to improve the process
  • Optimization - An expansion on the development workflows where a larger number of options are considered to achieve the best mixture of cost, rate & quality for your application.
