Special Profile Attributes

For profiles it makes sense so talk about the length in a number of different ways:

• The moulded length is the distance along the trace between the end points of the profile in the design model

• The used length is the minimum length of the raw bar required to manufacture the profile. It considers endcutting, bevel gaps, shrinkage compensation,

Curved shell stiffeners are normally stored with one or several inverse bending curves. These are related to a certain technique for checking of the curvature of shell profiles.
