General

This chapter is a user-oriented description of the Panel Line Control Module (PLCM). It concentrates on the functional characteristics of the system and on the interfaces to other subsystems of AVEVA Marine. The graphical part is based on the General Design System, see User’s Guide Drafting. In this document are only described the PLCM specific functions. For the documentation of the general nesting functions, see Nesting System - Application Functions.

The Panel Line Module is a tool for automatic nesting of assembly parts as well as the piece parts of which an assembly part consists.

All parts to be nested are extracted from the model with the automatic part generation module PPANPARTS.

With the system the tool paths are defined creating CL-descriptions to be used as input to a suitable postprocessors. Shop drawings (burning sketches) can be created and plotted.
