Ø Maximum: the bend is calculated between the furthest opposite edges of the supporting walls. Ø Tangent: the edges of the bend are tangent to the edges of the supporting walls. Ø Linear: the unfolded bend is split by two planes going through the corresponding limit points (obtained by projection of the bend axis onto the edges of the supporting walls). The L1 and L2 parameters can be modified if needed Ø Round relief: the bend corresponds to the common area of the supporting walls along the bend axis, and a round relief is added to the bend extremity.


The L1 and L2 parameters can be modified if needed. Ø Square relief: the bend corresponds to the common area of the supporting walls along the bend axis, and a square relief is added to the bend extremity. Ø Minimum with no relief (default option): the bend corresponds to the common area of the supporting walls along the bend axis, and shows no relief. Moreover, the limit values can also be modified. It can be reactivated by clicking the Apply DIN button. This formula can be deactivated or modified by right-clicking in the K factor field and choosing an option from the contextual menu. Ideally, it is represented by an arc located inside the thickness and centered on the bend axis. Physically, the neutral fiber represents the limit between the material compressed area inside the bend and the extended area outside the bend. Sheet metal depends on certain parameters This tutorial provides sheetmetal introduction and toolbars available with explanation.
