Bending tables

Menu access : Sheet metal | Bend allowance | Bending tables

Description :

Allows you to modify the bending tables.

General philosophy :

  1. Select a part in order to edit the table of its matter/thickness couple or click on the CURRENT MATERIAL button in order to edit the bending tables of the working matter.

  2. The following dialog box appears :

 

Specific point(s) :

You choose the desired material and thickness thanks to the corresponding fields. It is possible to differentiate tables according to the bending type. Specify the table type thanks to the corresponding field.

You modify tables intervening on the fields contents and using icons of the inferior area :

It is possible to keyboard angles, and angles ranges too. For that, you have to keyboard an expression like : [Angle1 Angle2]. In this case, the range takes all the angles between angle1 and angle2 included into account. The hooks direction indicates if the angle is included or not in the range : a closed hook means that the value is included and an open hook that the value is not included in the range.

The field "Interpolation" gives the possibility to the software to calculate a loss if the angle does not exist in the table. The loss will calculate itself according to the loss values for the two angles framing the effective angle value.
