Equipment list#
In rigging design it is typical to number all the items in the rigging arrangement with a short ID. This can be anything from a sling number such as SL-3142 or an equipment list number such a 03.04.1 or simply ②.
In DAVE an equipment list ID is assigned to all rigging equipment:
Lifting beams
Slings
Grommets
Shackles
For these items an ID needs to be defined in order to produce a report. In addition to that an optional remarks field is available.
Full context / grouped#
In calculations and analysis every item needs to have a unique number or ID. However in the field some items may be interchangeable, for example shackles of the same type. In that last case all those are typically given the same identification to avoid having to look for exactly that one shackle that is always on the bottom of the pile.
Parenthesis () can be used to identify interchangeable items. When producing drawings or shopping lists items with the same ID outside the brackets are grouped together to produce a list with a quantity. So
