Fix the Bend Radii of an Imported Sheet Metal Part

Sheet-Metal Design

A common method of creating a bend is where the inner radius is 0 (sharp angle) and a value is specified for the outer radius. This problem may occur in sheet-metal parts imported into Vertex.

You can use the Add Bend Radius function to convert the bends into bend features.

Figure 1: A bend radius is added to a sheet with sharp corners.

Add a bend radius as follows:

  1. Open the volume in the working window with the Import function.
  2. If necessary, select Sheet-metal Part as the object type. Part Properties
  3. Select the sheet-metal part.
  4. Select Add Bend Radius.
  5. If necessary, edit the bend radius data.
  6. Select OK.
