Figure 1: A step bent surface with different numbers of bends. - Bend Radius
- Defines the bend radius of a step bend.Note: If you step bend a sheet metal part's surface, the radius is either the outer or inner radius depending on which surface you selected. If you want to specify the step bend radius based on the punch radius, select the inner surface. If you select the outer surface, take into account the thickness of the sheet.
