Panels and Symmetry

AVEVA Marine allows a designer to benefit from the fact that the hull structure of a ship to a large extent is symmetrical. Below you will find some examples of the flexibility of Hull in this respect.

• A panel may be generated in one half of the ship but be valid for both sides. Nevertheless individual parts for portside (PS) and starboard (SB) may be extracted from it.

• A mainly symmetrical panel may have minor features or parts that are specific for PS or SB.

• Any panel may be described on either PS or SB. Thus it is possible to model and store on PS a panel valid for SB.

When creating views of the model and extracting parts form the model the views and the parts will be correct independently of how panels have been modelled in these respects.
