The Sheet-Metal1 feature contains the default bend parameters. Editing the Default Bend Radius, Bend Allowance, Bend Deduction, or Relief TypeĪ Sheet-Metal1 feature in the FeatureManager design tree indicates a sheet metal part.You can calculate the developed length of sheet metal parts using bend calculation tables. Other methods include bend tables, K-Factor, and bend calculation. K-Factor is a ratio that represents the location of the neutral sheet with respect to the thickness of the sheet metal part.īend allowance and bend deduction calculations are methods you can choose to determine the flat length of sheet stock to give the desired dimension of the bent part.

Below is our simple Bend Deduction Calculator, it works by inputing the. As you can see the Bend Deduction and Bend Allowance are closely related below. In order to develop the flat pattern we will subtract. The bend table also contains values for bend radius, bend angle, and part thickness. When we calculate the Bend Deduction we find that it equals. You can also specify K-Factor values in their own K-Factor bend tables. You can specify the bend allowance or bend deduction values for a sheet metal part in a bend table. You can specify the bend allowance or bend deduction values for your part.
