Delimiting of Bend

This command allows you to isolate the lateral faces connected to a bend, or all the faces in the bend alignment.

 

Creation stages / Use:

 

Click the  icon or select Strip > Delimiting of Bend... command from the drop-down menu.

 

  1. Select the bend face(s) to delimit.

  2. In extended mode, choose the divisions mode to apply, and/or the faces to consider / ignore.

  3. Validate .

 

 

  This command can be also applied on surface sheet metal part.

 

 

Available options:

 

 

Two delimiting modes are available:

  • Lateral faces: This option allows you to delimit the lateral faces of several simple bends.

Lateral faces non isolated

Lateral faces isolated

 

 

 It is possible to select several bends in one time.

 

 

  • Extended: This option allows you to delimit all the faces in the bend alignment.
    • Bend face: It allows you to select the bend base face to delimit.
    • Delimiting radius: This option allows you to modify the radius of the tool used to delimit the bend. This radius is automatically computed in according to the bend radius and the part thickness. Anyway, it is possible to give any value to this radius by checking the option.
    • Start extend, and End extend: These options allow you to dimension the overlengths of the tool used to delimit the bend. 

The faces in the bend alignment
will be delimited

Delimited complex bend

 

 

It is possible to delimit only one bend at a time. The others not aligned bends will be delimited one after the other.

 

 

 

 

 

In case of delimiting an extended bend, three divisions modes can be applied:

  • No division : The bend will be delimited following the bend boundaries.

    Complex bend delimited with no division
  • Regular divisions: the bend will be divided regularly on the bend face.

    • Divisions number:
      This option allows you to determine the divisions number to create.

  • Angular Division: the bend will be divided in two, according to an origin edge and an angle.

     

    • Origin edge:
       This option allows you to select the origin edge of the division angle.

    • Angle :
      It allows you to choose the angle of the division to apply.

In case of Extended delimiting of bend, it is possible to restrict this delimiting to the:

  • Faces to consider

or to the :

  • Faces to ignore
