General

Profiles (stiffeners, longitudinals, transversals) are in most cases welded against a plate surface, normally perpendicular to the surface but often also with an inclination against the plate.

Other components (connected stiffeners, brackets, clips and cutouts) are depending on the calculated position and the height of the profile, and therefore it is important that the position of the reference point of the profile is well defined. This point is normally placed on the lower edge of the web on the mould line side for different types of profiles.

The purpose of this paragraph is to describe the options that are available in AVEVA Marine and to control how the reference point should be evaluated.
