Re-bend

Re-bend command is used for re-bending of all the surfaces unbent by unbending operation:

This capability is helpful for saving the image of the unfolding obtained with unbending operation in the model structure. E.g. unbending and re-bending operations can be used to create a drawing showing both unfolding and finished sheet part.

Neutral layer coefficient used in unbending is used in re-bending.

Operation parameters

Command automenu options are:

Finish input. To build geometry according to the given parameters. In case the parameters are insufficient, the option in not available.

Set entity Parameters. Calls a standard 3-D design command parameters dialog.

Exit command. Shuts down the command canceling the given parameters.

Preview Operation Result. The option enables/disables a standard option for reviewing 3-D design commands.

Select operation. The option to select a body for the operation. It is active by default at calling the command. When selecting an unfolding body, the system automatically bends all the unbending faces.

The stationary face is determined automatically by the system.

Select face to bending. Manual selection of bending faces when the result offered by the system doesn’t satisfy the user.

Select fixed face. Manual selection of the stationary face when the result offered by the system doesn’t satisfy the user. The option is only available at manual selection of bending faces.

Cancel selection. Cancels selection of all the elements and clears the operands window.

Creating the operation

A typical procedure for creating the operation is as follows:

•Select the unfolding body. The system automatically bends the unfolding to the initial body.

•Finish input.

If the result offered by the system doesn’t satisfy the user, choose bending faces manually.

•Choose bending faces.

•Change the stationary face if necessary.

•Finish input.
