Background

Parts (for example, plates and stiffeners) are in the production identified by names which often are painted or otherwise fixed onto the parts. The names may also be issued in drawings and production lists of different kinds. These production oriented names are in AVEVA Marine referred to as part names.

(The part names are not equal to and should not be confused with the names of parts used within the data banks. There are several reasons for this. One is that also identical parts must have unique names because they have individual occurrences and positions and for example, contribute in an individual way to the center of gravity. On the other hand it may be advantageous to let equal parts have the same part names because that may reduce the handling/sorting in the workshop.)

This document describes how a customer can control the structure of part names.
