GSD Marking of Built Profiles

Description

When assembling built profiles there is a need for marking the flange and the web parts so that they may be correctly aligned to each other. This may now be done by setting the new keyword BUILT_FLA_SHAPE in the GSD default file.

BUILT_FLA_SHAPE may be assigned three different values giving different options for the marking of the flange part.

BUILT_FLA_SHAPE=THICKNESS will mark the flange with two parallel lines indicating the web thickness. This is the default option.

BUILT_FLA_SHAPE=HOOK will mark the flange with a hook.

BUILT_FLA_SHAPE=HOOK_THICKNESS will result in a marking which is a combination of the thickness and hook marking, where a line and the hook together indicate the web thickness.

The generic files created by the Plate Interface and the Profile Sketch and List programs will contain the new marking types FACE_PLATE_ALIGNMENT.

Benefits

Increased accuracy when assembling built profile parts.

Compatibility Constraints
