The disk emission in the single peaked Broad Emission Lines (BELs) of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) is difficult to detect. In order to find the disk traces in BELs the line profiles were simulated by the simplified model consisting of two components: accretion disk and surrounding spherical region with isotropic velocities of clouds. The measurements of simulated profiles were compared with the measurements of observed single-peaked Hα and Hβ profiles of 12 AGNs, that had been previously confirmed to show the accretion disk presence in the X domain. The results are in agreement with previous investigations
