Names of Clip Parts

When clips are stored as plate parts in the plate databank they are named according to the same principles as other plate parts. Each clip is associated with a clip sequence number, unique within a panel. This number is normally set automatically in the same way as for stiffeners, plates, The name of a clip part is formed in the following way:

<panel>/C<clip_no>[S|P]

Here, <clip_no> is the running clip number and S and P are suffixes added if portside and starboard side parts are stored individually.

Note: This is the name of the part in the plate data bank and should not be confused with the production oriented part name, created via the Part Name Control facility.
