SmFlangeBend – BricsCAD Centro Assistenza

Allows to bend an existing flange along a line, obeying k-factor for given bend radius.

Accessing the Command

: SmFlangeBend

Prompts you in the command bar:

Select a flange face: (Select a major face of flange.)

Select line or edge to bend the solid or draw a [New line] <New line>: (Select a line or an edge.)

Pick a point on the side that will be moved: (Pick a point on the side of the line that will be moved.)

Select flange position [Angle/Radius/Switch side/ACcept] <Accept>: (Choose an option or press Enter.)

Option	Description
New line	Allows to draw a line to define the bend location; prompts you: Start point of the line - (Pick a point.) End point of the line - (Pick a point.)
Angle	Allows to set the bend angle; prompts you: Enter bend angle [Back] <Back>: - (Do one of the following:) Type a value. Press Enter to go back without changing the bend angle.
Radius	The default bend radius is defined by the Modeling/Bend Radius property in the Mechanical Browser for Sheet Metal. Allows to define the bend radius; prompts you: Enter bend radius [Back] <Back>: - (Do one of the following:) Type a value. Press Enter to go back without changing the bend radius.
Switch side	Allows to move the part of the flange on the other side of the line or edge.
Accept	Creates the bend at the current angle and radius.

SmExtrude - creates sheet metal part from a planar polyline by extruding it orthogonally to the plane of the polyline.

SmFlangeBase - creates a base (initial) flange of a sheet metal part from a closed planar profile.

SmFlangeEdge - creates one or more flanges to a sheet metal part by pulling one or more edges of an existing flange.

SmFlangeRotate - rotates a selected flange of a sheet metal part with automatic selection of the rotation axis depending on the design intent
