Section names

The cross-section shape is recognised from the name of the cross-section. The user may adjust a few parameters that influence the applied conversion of cross-section names.

Use DSTV conversion for section names

If ON, the DSTV convention is used for cross-section names.

Use mapping table as conversion for section names

If ON, the mapping table is used to convert the names of cross-sections.
