Creating a Flange

In the Plate box, select a plate on which the flange is to be defined.

Important: You cannot select a panel.

In the Edge box, select one or more highlighted edges.

Important: The edge must be straight, and must belong to the boundary element of the plate.

In the Mode list, select Centered or Tangent.

In the Flange Width box, enter a value (say 300mm).

You can use one of the following options to select a reference for width calculation:

Option	Reference
	Inner face
	Outer face

In the Angle box, enter the required bending angle value (say 60 degree).

In the Radius box, specify radius between the plate and the flange.

Optional: To create a flange without increasing the overall length of the plate, select one of the following Trim options:

Where, L is length of the plate. The above table shows the representations of the physical objects created after synchronization.

Optional: Under the Limits area, select the start and end limits.

You can select reference planes or surfaces to limit the flange.

Optional: Under the End Cut area:

In the Distance box, enter the distance from the free edge, to position the end cut.

Important: The distance should not be greater than flange width.
In the Angle box, enter the required value.
The angle is always counted from the vertical edge of the flange.
In the Radius box, enter the end cut radius.

You can set the same end cut parameters for start and end extremities, by keeping the chain mode active.
