Specifies the general properties of the standalone planar plate part.
Name
Specifies the name of the plate part. Names generated by a rule include a Global Workshare name rule ID if the name rule ID was defined when the model database was created. See Global Workshare in the Global Workshare Help.
Rule
Specifies the naming rule to use to name the plate part. Select User Defined to type a name in the Name box.
Type
Specifies the type of plate part that you are placing. If you do not select a type, the software automatically determines the type based on the plate part orientation:
Deck
Plate parts that are mostly horizontal (XY plane).
Transverse Bulkhead
Plate parts that are mostly transverse (YZ plane).
Longitudinal Bulkhead
Plate parts that are mostly longitudinal (XZ plane).
This option is also used by the naming rule to name the plate part.
Naming Category
Specifies a category for the plate part. Categories define the role of the plate part in the marine structure.
Parent System
Specifies the parent plate system for the plate part. You can define a different parent system in the Systems and Specifications task. When you create the plate part, the property values for the parent plate system are used for the initial plate part property values. When a parent property value changes, the corresponding plate part value is not updated.
Surface Geometry Type
Displays Planar Plate, similar to the Molded Forms command used to create a planar plate system.
Specification
Specifies the structural specification for the plate part.
Description
Specifies a description for the plate part.
Tightness
Specifies the level of tightness as it applies to the entire plate part.
Board Management (for Structural Detailing)
Symmetry
Displays the symmetry value for the part. The symmetry value is determined by the Board Management Service.
Manually Override
Determines whether the Board Management processes the part. Select this option to stop the Board Management Service from considering the part.
Symmetrical Part
Displays the name of the symmetrical part, if available. The Board Management Service determines the symmetrical part.
Structural Priority
Specifies the priority assigned to the object. Structural priority groups and filters plates, such as is needed in Drawings and Reports. The list is defined by the StructuralMemberPriority codelist.
Primary
The default value for Molded Forms plate systems.
Secondary
The default value for Molded Forms bracket systems.
Tertiary
The default value for Structural Detailing parts, such as collars, standalone plate parts, lapped plate parts, bracket parts, and plate edge reinforcements. These parts do not have parent systems.
