Standard Holes in AVEVA Marine, Overview
- Last UpdatedDec 01, 2025
- 2 minute read
A standard hole in AVEVA Marine is selected by a hole designation (string) of the following layout.
<hole designation> ::= <type> <par_1>*<par_2>*….<par_n>
|
<type> |
is a registered 'name' of the hole. |
|
<par_i> |
are parameters controlling the size of the hole. They can be given arbitrary values as far as they produce a reasonable hole contour. The number of parameters is different for different types of holes and may also vary for a certain type of hole because certain parameters may have default values. |
New standard holes must be implemented in AVEVA Marine by AVEVA.
Examples:
-
D250 specifies a circular hole with diameter 250 mm
-
HE250*125 specifies an elliptical hole with major axis 250 mm and a minor axis 125 mm
The menu below shows all existing standard hole types. They are described in detail in paragraphs below.
Figure 1:1. Menu of AVEVA Marine standard hole types.
A standard hole is described in a co-ordinate system of its own. It is located by specifying the position of the origin of its local co-ordinate system. Turning of the hole is done by specifying the angle which the u-axis should be turned, see the figure below.
Figure 1:2. Locating a hole in a panel co-ordinate system.
In the specification of the different hole types below the figures show the shape of the holes, their local co-ordinate system and thus their reference point. The figures also show how the holes will be oriented if no turning angle is specified.
