Creating Bends from a Line

Bend From Flat lets you generate bends based on a line.

Before you begin: Create two perpendicular walls and draw two lines on one of them. The lines must not intersect an area on which a Sheet Metal feature lies.
  1. In the Profile box, select a profile containing the lines.

    The fixed point is automatically set on the face where the profile lies. It represents part of the wall that will not move during the bend creation.

  2. Choose the line type for the profile:
    OptionDescription
    Axis The line defines the rotation axis of the mobile wall, (that is the bend is symmetrical to the line).
    BTL Base Feature The line lies on the wall and corresponds to the limits of the bend's fillet.
    IML The line is created by intersecting the internal surfaces of the bend before filleting and the wall.
    OML The line is created by intersecting the bend support and a plane perpendicular to the wall and normal to the OML.
    BTL Support The line lies on the bend support and corresponds to the limits of the bend's fillet.
