A |
 |
||
| anchor point | Corresponds to the point at which a section is anchored along the trace. |
 |
|
| attribute | Characteristics of an object such as thickness, material, section. Also referred to as properties. | ||
C |
|
||
| conceptual molded form | A conceptual surface defined in the Structure Conceptual Design workbench. | ||
F |
|
||
| feature dictionary | The document in which object classes are managed. | ||
| frame | One of the transverse members that make up the riblike part of the skeleton of a ship. Frames act as stiffeners. | ||
| functional molded form | A functional surface derived from a conceptual surface. You can define more than one functional molded form from a conceptual surface | ||
| functional plate | A structural part. | ||
I |
|
||
| insert plate | A special type of functional plate. | ||
O |
|
||
| object class | The classification or type of an object. Classes are arranged in a hierarchical structure. | ||
| opening | A structural feature. May be specialized as access holes, general arrangement holes, lightening holes or penetration holes depending on their function. Geometric shapes of structural openings can be defined using the sketcher or selected from a catalog. | ||
P |
|
||
| panel system | A functional structural assembly combining plate and stiffener parts, and optionally openings. Panel systems are treated as a whole in downstream design and/or production processes. | ||
| pillar | A vertical member or column which provides support to a deck. | ||
| property | Characteristics of an object such as thickness, material, section. Also referred to as attributes. | ||
S |
|
||
| section | A sketch that serves to describe the shape representation of a structural shape. The sketch is contained in a separate section document. | ||
| When creating structural shapes, the shape is linked associatively to the section document. All shapes using the same section share the same sketch. If the sketch is modified, all shapes linked to the section document are automatically updated. | |||
| section orientation | Defines how the section is oriented around its anchor point | ||
 |
|||
| shell expansion | Used to assist the creation of stiffeners and
plates on the hull. The curved hull is laid flat in a CATDrawing and stiffener and plate traces can be sketched, then imported into the 3D document. |
||
| stiffener | A straight structural shape used to stiffen panel systems. | ||
| stiffener system | A system of structural shapes used to stiffen panel systems. Includes functional stiffeners, twisted stiffeners and pillars. | ||
| straking | Process of breaking functional molded form panels down into plate lengths and widths. | ||
T |
|
||
| trace | A curve or line lying on a surface that is used to define the path a stiffener will follow. In the case of plate traces, curves or lines that cross each other to form a grid. | ||
| twisted stiffener | A curved structural shape used to stiffen the hull in particular. | ||
W |
|
||
| workpackage | A concept that lets you organize data
efficiently in easily manageable units. In Structure Functional Design, the
panel system is considered a workpackage. In ENOVIA LCA, it refers to the storage mode: Document kept - Publications Exposed. Panel systems are stored as ENOVIA workpackages. |
