Profile Data

The profiles can normally be generated complete with all information required for production.

The following attributes can be defined in addition to the location and orientation. Some of the attributes are compulsory, others are optional.

• profile type and parameters,

• material quality codes,

• excess material. Excess material normally extends the weld segment of the end cut. However, if either logical SBH_PROF_EXC_AS_SHRINK or SBH_PROF_EXC_MOVE is set then the end cut geometry is not altered. Instead the excess is handled as shrinkage and added to moulded and total length (SBH_PROF_EXC_AS_SHRINK) or only to total length (SBH_PROF_EXC_MOVE).

• endcut data (type and parameters). Normally, connection angles of the endcut will be calculated automatically in case of connection.

• inclination and twisting,

• beveling at the profile ends and along the trace,

• holes, notches and cutouts (stiffeners and shell profiles only),

• information about the welding,

• the position number of the profile,

• assembly information,

• surface treatment,
