Built-in Profiles

The Hull Design built-in profile standard covers the profile types that are traditionally used in shipbuilding. Each profile has a type code and profiles are selected by using this type code.

The table below specifies the profile types normally used in shipbuilding. It shows the profile type, its cross-section and the parameters that are required to control the size of the profile section. When selecting a certain profile, it is important that the correct number of parameters is given in the order specified in the table.

Some remarks on the built-in standard:

Flat bars

Profile type 11 has the same properties as a profile type 10, however profile type 11 cannot be converted into a plate part in the production programs.

Bulb bars

Profile type 21 is a special Polish variant of the ordinary bulb bar. If used in combination with any of the environment variables SBH_RUSSIAN_BULB, SBH_CHINESE_BULB or SBH_JAPANESE_BULB this profile type may be used for the type of bulb bar used in Russia, China or Japan.

Profile type 23 is the big type of welded bulb bar with a constant bulb size that is manufactured by the INEXA steel mill and sold under the product name Jumbo Bulb Flat.

U- and I-bars

The built-in standard for U- and I-bars is according to DIN standard.
