Individual Storing of Parts from Symmetrical Panel

Each part in a symmetrical panel contains the "pattern" of two parts, one on portside (PS) and one on the starboard side (SB). When AVEVA Marine extracts parts from the panel individual instances of the parts on PS and SB are normally created automatically. These instances are stored where they physically belong independently of how they have been modelled.

When symmetrical parts are stored individually the parts PS and SB are identified by adding a suffix of P and S, respectively, at the end of the name. This goes for both plate parts and profile parts. For plate parts over/in the center line plane SP will be added at the end of the name.

Example:

The symmetrical panel AA123-4 will result in parts with the following names:

(The generated parts PS/SB need not be exact mirror images of each other. Also "symmetrical" panels may have minor differences PS/SB which will be transferred to one of the parts only. This may also be valid for some of the marking.)
