PROFIL provides the engineer practical help for a quicker and safer design. The software relieves the designer of tedious work like calculating the developed length, drawing profiles and roll tools, compiling parts lists.
Overview
PROFIL is a roll form design software designed by UBECO. It enables quicker working and cost reductions in planning, design, calculation, and drawing of the profile, the flower pattern (bending steps), and the roll tooling. It impressed the attendee by capabilities at the debut of the Euro-BLECH exhibition in 1986. Soon PROFIL became a leading software for roll forming design in Germany.

Built-in preloaded section definition for standard sections as well as capability of Creating profiles by entering the dimensions into the system, by importing a CAD contour or by using the design toolbox for profiles, or by combining these tools to get define more complex sections.
Trustable design assistant for your profile designs. determining the neutral line and calculating the flat strip length of the section and also calculation of all the important data for the bending process such as spring back and the stress of the band edge.
Speeding up your work by designing the flower pattern. Modifying the angle and radius of bends has never been made this simple by means of modify toolbox to create the bending steps. Constant length or constant radius methods can be chosen according to your specific design.
Accelerate your roll design by directly using the profile contour or any contour drawn in CAD. Use the powerful commands to modify the rolls to your individual needs. Create roll drawings just by few clicks. Dimensioning of the Roll tool drawings are done automatically.
High-quality and satisfied roll tool can be achieved by checking the final design with the calculation of stress of band edge, the profile stress analysis (PSA), and the finite element simulation (FEA).
Likewise, working with CAD software, the drawing of the flower pattern and roll tools are available in real-time. Every change made to the rolls and/or flower pattern can be displayed simultaneously. This feature improves the user-friendliness of the PROFIL software, which enables the user to try different bending scenarios in few clicks.
Enter the desired profile geometry, either graphically by CAD or numerically into the system. Or using the profile toolbox for fast and convinient definition of U-, C- Hat- or Z-profiles. provides the drawing of the shaped profile before, after and inside the forming pass, the developed length, spring back and stress on the sheet.
Drawings of the flower, the stress of band edge calculation for normal and centerline forming (natural forming, downhill forming), and the profile stress analysis are all provided for each section design.
Another quick method for defining standard profiles is to enter the numerical data directly into the profile list. By the completion of numerical input by the user, the drawing of the profile is updated.
All angles and radiuses are automatically defined by the system immediately after defining the section. Every entity of the profile section can be modified, including radius and angles. The number of passages and the bending sequence can be defined conveniently by the user to obtain the desired Flower Design.
Alternatively, you can enter the new radius or angle of the arc segment directly into the Profile List's appropriate column. The profile will be bent on the selected bending method (A1, A2, A3 or A4), and the flower drawing will be updated immediately.
The flower pattern's automatic creation speedsaup the roll tool design for recurring types of profiles substantially. The required know-how isataken from a knowledge base that increases as the system is used. To use an existing table for a new profile with different angles, angles are converted to percentages related to the final angle and then be saved; thus, a company-specific knowledge base for different kinds of profiles is created thataincreases with every successful design. The crucial point is that not a software-based algorithm is used.
The designed flower pattern can be verified using quality management tools: the stress of band edge calculation, the profile stress analysis (PSA), and the "Virtual Roll Forming Machine" that simulates the roll forming process by FEA (Finite Element Analysis).
After designing the final-trapezoidal profile (by function Trapezoidal Profile or by CAD drawing), this function creates the flower pattern for-a trapezoidal profile automatically, either with a cosine band edge course or linear course with user-defined fillet radius as desired.
The cosine band edge course (left) creates a sine-course of the stress of the band edge (right). The advantage of this method is the very-smooth transition both from the-entering flat sheet and to the ready product-leaving the machine.
The linear band edge course (left) creates a linear-course of the stress of the band edge (right), and with it, the smallest-count of roll forming stands. Fillet radius at the machine entrance and exit prevents creases.
The automotive industry and also other applications require more and more complex roll-formed profiles. In order to form such profiles on a roll forming machine, it often is necessary to have additional side axles with inclined angles that plunge into the-open cross-section. This makes it easier to form the inner radii precisely.-Technically, it is quite costly in terms of labor and time to adapt the machine and to mount special axle holders for each kind of profile individually. But this effort is-unavoidable if high precision profiles are required.
PROFIL enables designing rolls for additional side rolls with different inclinations angles.
Example: designing the top roll for a fin pass
Simply enter the roll width, the fin height, the fillet radii and the air gap between top and bottom roll. The roll is created automatically.
The developed length of each arc segment and with it the strip width normally is calculated dependent on sheet thickness, bend radius and angle. In reality, however, there are more dependencies. Also the material, the bending method and the bend angle sequence have influence. The user can select between a standard method, such as Oehler, DIN, centerline, or define user methods that can be equipped with empirical corrections. The latter are important in case larger angle increase is necessary because of limited count of stands and subsequently occurring deep drawing effects.
If the bent profile leaves the machine, the legs of the profile springs back. This spring back of the profile is calculated dependent on the material, the sheet thickness and the bending radius and angle.
If a profile is designed for a load-bearing construction and the strength calculation is necessary, the static parameters of the cross-section of the profile are needed. It is possible to modify the geometry of the profile and to watch the change of the statics simultaneously.
If the legs of a profile are bent step-by-step in consecutive sets of rolls, the edges travel a longer way than the web of the profile. This causes a strain and a stress in the edges. If this process is limited to the elastic area of the material, the strain and stretching will return to the original length again, as the profile leaves the stand. In the other case, if the stress of edge has exceeded the yield stress between two bending steps, this will cause a remaining strain in the material causing problems like bows or ripples or other unwanted deformation of the profile. The relative stress related to the yield stress is calculated and displayed in a separate window. By this, the designer can check if the safe load of the band edges is kept while bending.
The sheet surface is divided in small rectangular shell segments. The segment width and with it the precision of calculation can be defined by the user. Critical areas like the bending zones can be calculated with higher resolution. While running through the roll forming machine, the rectangles are formed to general quadrilaterals. From lengthening or shortening of the edges the expected strain and from it the stress can be derived. The stress related to the yield stress of the material is assigned to a color in the range between blue (0%), green (50%) and red (100%). In the 3D model critical areas can be detected by red colored shell segments. The designer can use the mouse wheel to rotate and zoom the model to examine any detail. The profile stress analysis is an integrated feature of the software PROFIL and works without FEA (Finite Element Analysis).
All necessary drawings are created automatically. The single pass (loaded or discharged), or the complete flower pattern in different views, or the roll tools for a stand can be displayed. All drawings can be saved into a file. DXF, IGES, and MI formats can be selected. By this, the drawings can be transferred to any CAD-system. In case of AutoCAD, SolidWorks, SolidEdge and BricsCAD.
Objects can be dimensioned associatively, meaning that if you modify any object, the dimensioning is modified automatically. The very important intersection point of the tangents of an arc is supported for dimensioning. The dimensioned drawings can be printed and transferred to CAD.
