Jumbo Panels

The framework of a design consists of decks, bulkheads, girders, This framework is dimensioned and positioned in a very early design phase and, of course, it is described on a rather rough level. At this phase, the main structures are important mainly from a functional point of view and construction details are taken into consideration only to a restricted extent. For instance, the partition into production units might not yet have been made. Nevertheless, the main structures play an important role, when the model is built up, since they constitute the framework that is supported by for example, the webframes.

Planar Hull Modelling offers the possibility to handle a deck, a bulkhead, as one big unit, which is called a jumbo panel and also to subdivide it into production units.
