Description
A pile is a triangular flag design feature whose depth can be described relative to fly length.
A pile is a triangular flag design feature whose depth can be described relative to fly length.1
The proportion records observed geometry rather than prescribing a design standard.
When to use Pile Depth Proportion Calculator
Use this tool to apply the stated pile depth proportion calculator operation with an explicit input and unit basis.
How to use Pile Depth Proportion Calculator and how it works
- Establish the measurement basis and units described above.
- Enter actualObservedPileDepth, actualObservedFlyLength and run the tool.
- Read result.value using the output meanings below.
- If input is rejected, correct the stated type, range, ordering or alignment issue and rerun; review successful results under the declared convention.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| actualObservedPileDepth | Observed pile depth, on the basis specified in the algorithm. | number | required; finite; nonnegative; further conditions in the algorithm |
| actualObservedFlyLength | Observed fly length, on the basis specified in the algorithm. | number | required; finite; strictly positive; further conditions in the algorithm |
Require nonnegative pile depth and positive fly length on the same length basis. Divide depth by fly; values above one are retained.
pile depth fraction = depth / fly Apply the declared units, ordering and branch conditions.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| result | Object containing the declared output fields. | object |
| result.value | Dimensionless pile-depth/fly fraction. | number |

}Limitations and assumptions
The output applies the declared operation to the values you supply. Establish the measurement basis, units, coefficients and any caller-selected rules before interpreting it. The tool does not independently collect or verify observations or decide whether a model or reference applies.
Supply explicit required fields with the documented types and dense aligned arrays. Unknown fields, wrong types and nonfinite numbers are rejected. Branch-specific constraints are explained above. A successful false boolean, negative signed difference, empty slice or unresolved tie is distinct from an input error. Very large inputs or outputs may be rejected by shared resource limits.
Alternative or Complementary methods
For a related operation, use Flag Hoist from Fly and Ratio Calculator. Hoist is the flag dimension along the attachment edge; fly extends outward from it.
For a related operation, use Flag Fly from Hoist and Ratio Calculator. A flag's hoist-to-fly ratio expresses its proportions independently of size.
