4.2.418 Profile

A Profile is a planar outline. For all types of Profile, except for the general profiles, this outline is composed of various geometric parameters. The meaning of the parameters as well as the relation to the coordinate space is described for each type of Profile.

NOTE A Profile may be used for the definition of form features.

Each Profile shall lie in the x-y-plane that is either the x-y-plane of its own local coordinate system (in the case where the Profile is used to define a feature that is applied as a Placed_feature) or the x-y-plane defined by the Axis_placement that serves as location_and_orientation (in the case where the Profile is used to define a feature that is applied as an Included_feature).

Each Profile is an Open_profile or a Closed_profile.

The data associated with a Profile are the following:

4.2.418.1 is_defined_in

The is_defined_in specifies the Cartesian_coordinate_space in which the Profile is defined. In the case where the Profile is used to define a feature that is applied as a Placed_feature, this is the own local coordinate space of the Profile. In the case where the Profile is used to define a feature that is applied as an Included_feature, this is the same coordinate space, in which the Included_feature is defined.

See profile to cartesian_coordinate_space for the application assertion.

4.2.418.2 location_and_orientation

The location_and_orientation specifies the Axis_placement to which the parameters of the Profile refer. The location_and_orientation is specified for the purpose of evaluation by manufacturing systems, which use the information in order to determine various machining parameters. For each type of Profile it is specified, how the Axis_placement is located and oriented with respect to the outline of the Profile. In case of a Profile that is used to define a Placed_feature the location_and_orientation coincides with the origin and orientation of the Cartesian_coordinate_space of the Profile.

See profile to axis_placement for the application assertion.
