Generating the nesting
Location of the laboratory: S.C. Navyk S.R.L

1. Scope:

 Observations of the technological process and the product:

Every plate is checked, by the project leader or the person responsible to see
if they fit on a 6000x2000 plate, and to optimize their position for cutting .
 Involved parties: S.C. Navyk S.R.L, various clients from Netherlands.

2. Objectives:
Creating the nesting file for the yard to cut the plates.

3. Analysis of observations:
a) Product flow, stage:

The nesting file begins after the production process of the structure and hull
is finished and checked, and approved by the client or shipyard.

The file is initially generated by Ship Constructor's nesting module and then
edited by the project leader or the person responsible for the nesting file.

b) Capabilities,staff,equipment:
 After checking the structure and hull to see if every component has
the right attributes such as thickness, shape or thickness direction, the
plates are sent in the nesting module in Ship Constructor and from
there the program generates how many 6000x2000 plates are needed
and if the plates are arranged accordingly to fit.
 In case there is an error in file generation, the person responsible for
the nesting may edit the plate arrangement.
c) Application of standards:
At Navyk, every plate must have a distance of 20 mm from each other and
from the 6000x2000 plate margins, so that the cutting machine won't have
any error.

4. Conclusions
The nesting process is one of the most important parts because from here the
yard receives the files for cutting, so any error may produce scrap, which is
costly for the yard and company also.
