Steel Profiles

A steel profile is selected from the standard profile library or entered with your own dimensions.

Profile Name

The name of the profile. You are free to choose the name.

Note: You can also type the name of the standard profile directly. The program searches the database for the standard profile. For example hea200 or HE200a.

The module has a very extensive profile library of more than 2700 standard steel profiles from which a selection can be made. Click on the dots ... The dialog below becomes visible and you can make your profile choice.

For steel - Choice between hot rolled, cold formed or welded.

Basic Shape
