General

There are standards of many different types and on many different levels related to AVEVA Hull and its use. Examples of general types of standards are:

• Rules for drawing layout (should transverse structures be shown "portside/ looking aft" or "starboard/ looking forward", which line types and symbols should be used in symbolic drawings).

• Rules for naming of structural members and parts both in design and production.

• Rules for use of symmetry.

These and similar matters are described in different parts of the AVEVA Marine documentation.

The focus of this document is on another aspect of standards, namely on the design standards used in the hull design and production. The design standard typically affects the physical properties of parts and members compared to the more routine oriented types of standards, exemplified above.

The different types of design standards involved in the use of Hull are all described to a required detail level in separate documents, devoted to the feature in question. The purpose of this document is to give an overview of the different types of design standards available in Hull and of the principles according to which they have been implemented and are available for customer adaptation and set-up.
