Clips in AVEVA Marine

In shipbuilding it is most common that the stiffening of the main structural members penetrate the plating of subordinate elements. Such penetrations are in AVEVA Marine called cutouts. Normally the penetrated plate is connected to the penetrating plate, either for strength reason or simply to tighten the penetration (or a combination of both). Often at least a part of this connection is produced by the cutout itself; part of it may be welded to the profile. However, very often the connection must be completed by extra plate pieces. The parts used for fastening/sealing are always referred to as clips in AVEVA Marine, although it sometimes would be more relevant to call them collars or lugs.
