cable tray

A physical part of a cableway, typically a steel profile on which cables are laid.

cableway

An area reserved for cables or a physical cable tray with material attached.

clash

Two physical items that partly occupy the same space in a ship. A clash is most often the result of a design error.

clash detection

The process of investigating if two or more physical items partly occupy the same space in a ship, mostly as a result of a design error.

clash management

The process of managing clashes, that means, detecting clashes, judging weather clashes are serious or not and remembering which clashes have already been detected and need not be displayed again.

clip

A small plate piece in profile cutouts. Sometimes called lug or collar (most often the plural, clips, is used).

collar

See clip.

collision check

See clash detection.

colour shading

The process of getting next to photo-realistic images of a part of a model.

compartment

Usually an enclosed space in a ship, typically with a functional purpose such as cargo tank or machine room. In Initial Design it is used as the unit for stability calculations and it is often but not necessarily watertight. It may, but need not, be the same as a zone.

compensation

• Non-uniform (triangular) excess defined to compensate for shrinkage during welding operations on plates and profiles.

• Excess on plate geometry to create the correct cutting path for plate cutting.

connection

• A general term regarding the connection of pipes, cables.

• The way a profile end should be positioned relative to the element it is attached to. Described with a connection code.

contour

A geometric curve, two-dimensional or three-dimensional.

cost code

Used for estimation and follow-up of costs

custom type

Same as type code.

cutout

Openings for penetrating profiles along plated edges or in webs of profiles. Sometimes called slot or scallop.

cutting

The process of cutting for example, steel, using a gas flame cutter, plasma cutter or similar device.
