BUILT_PROFILE Statement

Certain profile types are "built" in the sense that the web and flange are welded together. Such a built profile has normally a position number which is common to the profile as a whole.
According to the practice of some yards such a built profile may actually be an assembly, because the web and flange are fabricated to their final shape before being welded together. Thus, they are temporarily treated as individual parts which need to have a unique part name.
The BUILT_PROFILE statement is used to specify a constant string that should be used when forming the part name of the web and flange, respectively, of a built profile to be handled in this way (Cf. attribute /BUILT in the Name Definition statement below.)
Syntax:
|
BUILT_PROFILE, |
|
|
/TOTAL |
To be used when the built profile is treated as one unit (assembly) |
|
/WEB |
To be used for the web part. |
|
/FLANGE |
To be used for the flange part. |
Defaults are <tot_id>='' (empty string), <web_id>='W' and <flange_id>=´F´. The size of these strings is restricted to 4 characters.
