Bend Part Data
Advanced Face Modeling Package
General
The dialog box is related to the function
- Part | Deformation | Bend Part.
- Import | | Deformation | Bend Part.
- Bend a Part
Dialog Box Options
- Bend Angle, Value
- Defines the value of the bend angle.
- Bend Radius, Value
- Defines the value of the bend radius.
- Formula
- Define the formula of the bend radius and bend angle, if you want to control the rotation using a dimension table.
- Side
- The program marks the side to be bent by default with arrows.
- Direction
- The program marks the default bending direction with arrows.
- The default direction is out of the face.
- Reference Face and Rotation Axis
- The reference face is a plane (face), within which the material does not stretch or shrink during bending.
- The material stretches on one side of the face and shrinks on the other.
- Bend Region
- You can limit the bending area. Select the faces/lines (bending area) of the object that you wish the bending function to move. Select the lines from the side of the bend.
- Add
- Add a line or reference plane that controls the bend or element that controls the bend region to the list.
- Change
- Replace the selected reference plane or the rotation axis that controls the bend or the element that controls the bend region with another corresponding element.
- Select the element to be changed.
- Select Change.
- Click the replacing element.
- Delete
- Remove the element that controls the bend. However, a reference plane or rotation axis is needed.
- Apply
- Preview by clicking the Apply button in the dialog box. This will show you how the model would look if you confirmed the feature data by clicking OK.
