Used to create bent plates from existing plates.
Important: The existing plates must have a
tangential transition between them.
Note: This is not used for
butt straps.
| Setting | Description |
|---|
| Radius
|
Sets the radius of the bend between the two plates.
|
| Inner Radius
|
When on, the radius value is applied to the inside radius versus
the outside.
|
| Delete joining plate
|
When on, the existing plate is deleted by taking it
over into the bent plate.
|
| Unfold Correction Factor
|
The unfolding is carried out using this correction
factor. The correction is multiplied with half of the plate thickness.
- K=0 – Unfolds on the
inner radius
- K=1 – Unfolds on the
center
- K=2 – Unfolds on the
outer radius
This correction factor is used for the whole bent plate.

Tip: Please
take care that you don’t modify the basic polygon of a plate (e.g., by adding
an edge, or similar things) when you have already added segments for a bent
plate. The reference edges of the segments would be modified as well and the
consequence could be an undesired behavior.
