It is also possible to export each of the faces of the rectangle tube as a separate flatbar in SMS_PLATE format. This is similar to the default output seen for built-up profiles such as BUT and BUTL3 cross sections. The two web faces reference the same component look-up which is PLATE_1 while the flanges reference a second option, PLATE_2. This is because the dimensions of web left and Web right are identical while the dimensions of the two flanges are identical to each other.
