Bent Plates - Append plate tab
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.

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.
