In a boundary of this type, the boundary curves - one from each side of the profile - are derived from the intersection between a given profile and the plane of the current panel.
Profile section curve used as boundary:
|
<profile_crossection>::= |
|
|
CROSS |
|
|
,<ext_prof_ref> (1...10) [,REF] |
|
|
[,SHORT] |
|
|
[,<paral_displacem>] |
|
|
<ext_prof_ref>, |
|
|
<paral_displacem>, see above. The displacement is always positive in this case, that means, creating a gap at the profile. |
|
|
SHORT |
Normally, the resulting contours will be made very long. By the use of SHORT, the contour will only extend roughly half the profile height outside the actual profile height. See the image below. |
Use of keyword SHORT:
.
Examples:
... / CRO, L140, COR=50 / ...
... / CRO, 'AA124', SL14, SHORT / ...
Remark:
The height of the profile in the section will be available as the parameter value H in the LEN-clause in the BOUNDARY syntax with a free side, see Free Side Syntax.
