Explanation

scallop

See cutout.

scheme

See input scheme.

seam

• The borderline between plates, running along the ship (corresponding borderlines from portside to starboard are called butts).

• Generically. the border line between connecting plates. In Hull, a seam is often seen as a component, dividing a plate into two new plates. To the seam it is possible to associate bevel and welding information.

section

• An assembly, that means, a physical part of a ship, usually large and usually mainly a hull part.

• A drawing representing the internal parts of a vessel as if it had been cut.

sectioning

The process of intersecting a model with a plane and get a picture of the model in that plane.

shell expansion

A process, creating a traditional expanded view of the shell and shell related structures.

shell profile

A stiffener in a curved panel, often referred to as longitudinal or transversal.

ship model version

A version of a complete Ship (Project).

shrinkage

The change of size and distortion due to heating, for example, in welding operations.

shrinkage compensation

A feature to compensate for shrinkage, for example, making a plate part slightly larger than the nominal part in a way that after welding the plate has the right dimension.

slicing

The process of intersecting a model with two parallel planes and get a picture of what is between those planes.

slot

See cutout.

soft collision

A soft collision occurs when two parts of a model partly occupy the same space in the ship, and at least one of those parts has been marked as soft. Also see soft volume.

soft volume

A part of a model that is marked as soft. It may be for example, soft material as in pipe insulation, or it may be for example, allocated space for manual access or service space.

splitting

The process of dividing a panel into its smallest prefabricated parts. Panel splitting produces plate parts and profile parts.

stanchion

See pillar.

standard project

For each project a Standard project can be appointed. The Standard project should contain the yard standard for certain types of objects.

status

An object can have four independent Status values: Design Status, Material Control Status, Manufacturing Status and Assembly Status. The Status values are used to control the progress for the specific object.

steel outfit

Parts of steel (plate, profile) that are modelled in a more general way in AVEVA software as opposed to the Hull application.

stiffener

profile, welded with one edge against the plate or bracket of the panel. Stiffeners may be straight, curved or straight-and-knuckled.

stock

Apart from several generic meanings, sometimes used for excess. See excess.

structured assembly parts list

See bill of materials.

sub-assembly

A low level assembly. Yards often mean a "flat" steel part with some welded stiffeners. The production of these can be highly automated and in many shipyards are seen as a preparation (or piece part production) operation rather than as a fabrication operation

subproject

See project.

surface

Often used for the shell surface of a ship.

swaging

See swedging.

swedging

Swedging means the type of small corrugation in a plate, often replacing welded stiffeners in superstructures (the term swedging was originally a misspelling of swaging).

system

One complete mechanical or electrical group of parts which provides one function in ship operations that means, oil fuel system.
