Lay-up Material Code
Created by FE, used in Rhino layer name.
Format
PRE_GoodFace_Core_BackFace_ThicknessMM
Example: PRE_438_331_7_19
- First = Good face
- Second = Core
- Third = Back face
- Fourth = Thickness (rounded mm)
Lay-up Summary
- Created by PE for Panel Lay-up team.
- Includes: Code, description, materials, quantities.
- Stored in Production Files, printed by EA.
Lay-up Formula
- Each face = 1/32” (0.03125”)
- Nominal core + faces = total thickness.
- Example: ¼” lay-up = 0.3125”
Material Tag Standards
Format
MaterialCode+DoubleDigitNumber(e.g.,MDF01)- No spaces, hyphens, underscores.
Project Transmittal Log
- All tags must be listed.
- Managed by PM.
- Used by engineering toolkit for drawing schedules.
