Background

A ship is constructed by the assembly of parts to larger and larger units. In almost all assembly operations parts or assemblies are welded together. Each weld combines two parts and in at least one of the parts an edge of the part is involved. Edges to be welded must in most cases be prepared in a special way to create proper conditions for the type of welding that is selected. This is done by the application of bevel preparation along edges according to a set of predefined bevel types.

AVEVA Marine has an advanced facility for the set-up, customization and application of bevels in the modelling and fabrication of parts. The purpose of this document is to give a complete description of this facility.
