Local Shrinkage at Butt-welded Profile Ends

Local shrinkage can be applied at a profile end regardless of other types of shrinkage compensation. It is applied to both plane panel profiles and shell profiles and also to profiles converted to plates. There are three requirements for this:
-
The environment variable SBH_LOCAL_SHRINKAGE_PROF should be assigned the name of the shrinkage object.
-
The bevel code must be defined for the profile end and the basic bevel type must be one of the main types for butt welding.
-
The values used for shrinkage compensation are fetched from table 2 of the shrinkage object assigned to SBH_LOCAL_SHRINKAGE_PROF.
