Block 14 - Shift V2

Description

If the model has more than of deviation from the center of figure, then shift it to be centered

Procedure

Set-up

Set the ID. This should be the current ID, not the new one (which will really just be moved)

ID=farV03
echo "Shifting the model, $ID = shapeVar" | tee -a notes

Record the current offset and make a new model that will be adjusted

cd SHAPEFILES
echo shape-$ID-512 | shape_info | tee -a ../notes
cp shape-$ID-512 shift-$ID.txt
cd ..
}}}



Run the [[shift]] command. 

(Comment -- Unsure if the shape needs to be installed before geometry is run)
Notice, the shape model cannot have the .TXT at the end with the [[shift]] program. FDS sends the offset with the sign flipped from what the [[shift]] program will use. FDS should have a note about this along with their delivery.

=== Install Shape ===
Install the shape and review the fit to our main images

cd SHAPEFILES
echo shift-$ID.txt | shape_info | tee -a ../notes
relink.sh shift-$ID.txt SHAPE.TXT | tee -a ../notes
cd ..
evalReg.sh lsupport/theEight

Finish the Block

echo 11 | blockFinish far\

Continue the process

While this completes the block, you still need to do the following procedures to make the shape model solid
