Part naming format
In the field of design and construction, the correct identification of components is key. In the Onepush portal, it is possible to name components(plates, profiles, and markers) using two methods. The 'By Type' method is a straightforward numbering system, ideal for simpler objects. The 'By Grid' approach is geared towards complex structures like ships, using a systematic way to denote the position and orientation of plates. This guide aims to simplify your process of naming and tracking components, regardless of your project's complexity.
By Type
This option is best suited for simple and/or small objects/constructions. By choosing this format the user chooses to name the plates, profiles, and markers in ascending numerical values e.g.
plates | plate 1,2,3,...n |
profiles | profile 1,2,3,...n |
marker | marker 1,2,3,...n |
By Grid
Orthogonal Plate names
Orthogonal plates are named based on their ortho orientation, position, and grid definition.
X-orthos
These are oriented in the transverse plane of the ship; the yz-plane
If a plate touches a defined grid-frame within grid-precision it is named after the frame e.g. F1 or F15.
If a plate lies between frames, it is named after the lowest frame with a suffix of the offset from that frame. The offset is set by the closest side from the previous frame-line e.g. F1+200 or F8+349
Y-orthos
These are oriented in the longitudinal plane of the ship; the xz-plane
Plates are named by the point farthest from the CenterLine:
Longitudinal Portside plates (positive Y value) are named LP with a suffix of the farthest point from the centerline e.g. LP1250
Longitudinal Starboard plates (negative Y value) are named LS with a suffix of the farthest point from the centerline e.g. LS530
Plates that cross or touch the Longitudinal Centerline are named LCL.
Z-orthos
These are oriented in the waterline plane of the ship; the xy-plane
Waterline orthogonal Plates are named W with a suffix of the lowest point
e.g. W3450 or W200.
