PROFIL Version 6.4 is Released!

What’s New? – Rel. 6.4 64bit

Roll Design

  • Retaining ring notches, shoulders, chamfers, fillets: The bore hole details are shown and exported in the drawing area on the screen, in the CAD exports by ActiveX, DXF, and STEP in 2D and 3D, in the print and plot functions, in the NC exports, and in the roll stock management (option).
  • Spigot and Socket: A new function creates a spigot or a socket on the side face either right or left with desired width and diameter. This is needed if a roll should run on the shoulder of another roll.

Roll Stock Management

  • Bore hole details like shoulders, retaining ring notches etc. also are saved in the database and shown in the roll drawing.
  • Bug fix: By calling “Rolls, Stock Management, Save” all rolls of a stand are saved.

FEA Finite element analysis:

  • Cutting the strip before analyzing the simulation result: The flat sheet is divided in three parts that will appear as Parts in LS-PrePost. The parts at the profile front end and tail end possibly are deformed unrealistically by the node guiding. So it is easy to remove them before evaluating the FEA result.
  • Welding with *CONTACT_AUTOMATIC_SURFACE_TO_ SURFACE_TIED_WELD_ID is activated again
  • Bug fix: Runtime error, if Guiding horizontal at the reference point is selected.
  • Bug fix: Wrong guiding in case of moving nodes in x direction only and no moving in y direction.

CAD interface:

  • ActiveX Interface to DraftSight from Dassault Systems: DraftSight is a low-cost CAD system with perpetual license. It is fully DWG compatible and has functions and commands like AutoCAD. The comfortable interface enables creating profile and roll drawings in the just opened CAD document and imports user drawn profile and roll contours from CAD.
  • SolidEdge: Output of dimensioned roll tool drawings is possible now.

General

  • License manager: Installing PROFIL will become much easier with the new license manager. It supports importing the Personality File, also in zip-format, and installing the hardlock driver. Then it shows if the proper Hardlock is connected (that matches the personality file S/N number) and if the license is properly installed.
