Every profile is checked
If a rivet hole is missing, its place and the fix are in front of you. Narration in Turkish.
Every profile on screen is a line the machine reads
QSteelCAD writes each profile with its length and operation positions, in millimetres from the profile start. The file passes an error check before it reaches the machine.
One .bde and CSV per section
Stations follow the machine profile
Error check before export
How is the production file made?
BDE export on the OUTPUT tab turns the profiles in the model into lines the rollforming line reads: the whole project, or only walls, roof, trusses, headers or selected members. Each line holds the profile length and operation positions in millimetres.
Choose the machine profile
Rollform-80, 90, 140, 200 and 300 come ready. In each profile the H, F, N, S, S2 and S3 stations switch on or off individually.
Review the operations
Add holes and notches with assign by point or by ray; rivets, service holes, notches, flattening and swaging can each be shown in the view.
Run the error check
Together with minimum length, clashes and model audit. A warning only appears if the file to be written has an error.
Export
One .bde file and one CSV per section; operations the machine doesn't support are left out of the line.

All contact channelsWhat do the codes in the line mean?
h: rivet or screw hole, f: flattening, n: notch, s: and l: small and large service hole, w: swage. Positions are in millimetres from the profile start.
Which rollforming machines does it work with?
The program writes production files for rollforming lines that read .bde lines. Let's check your machine's line format together in a meeting.
How are rivet and screw counts produced?
The rivet / screw count on the CALCULATE tab counts positions without duplicates per profile; screws are twice the number of h: holes. The table pastes into Excel.
