Panels

The names of panels can be chosen arbitrarily. However, for normal panels it is convenient to let the panel name start by the name of the block that the panels belongs to, followed by a dash (-), for example, a panel belonging to block AA124 should preferably have a name looking like AA123-4.

When parts are extracted from the panel their names will be formed by an extension of the panel name. This should, therefore, not be too long, preferably never longer than 16 characters.

There are some special types of panels with somewhat modified recommendations regarding the names.

Panel brackets are not registered in any block and their names may be chosen quite arbitrarily. However, since most panel brackets belong to one "owner" panel it might be convenient to let that owner name be part of the panel bracket name. for example, panel brackets belonging to panel AA123-4 may be called AA123-4B01, AA123-4B02,

Similarly, sub-panels of knuckled panels can be named arbitrarily but may preferably be given names that relate them to the main panel they are parts of. Supposing the same panel as above they may for example, be called AA123-4K01, AA123-4K02,

Remark

For curved panels there are currently some additional rules (that are temporary). The symmetry status of the curved panel has to be indicated a suffix at the end of the name.

• The names of symmetrical panels (valid portside and starboard side) should end in a digit,

• Portside specific names should end in a P,

• Starboard specific names should end in an S,

• Names of panels (in principle symmetrical) over the centerline should end in SP,

• Block name may not contain a “-“ as that is the delimiter between block name and panel name for curved panels.
