CHANGES
New - Bend Reduction Formula Editor
Predicting elongation in a tube shape requires complex mathematics that changes per customer application. Benderlink for SolidWorks now allows operators to program their Bend Reduction formula into the program.
The editor is very powerful because it allows you to enter action Pascal code to define the function that returns the adjusted arc lengths. This is an example bend reduction program included with Benderlink:
var
BendAllowance: real;
NewArc: real;
begin
BendAllowance := 0.64;
NewArc := ((BendAllowance * blinksw(OD) + (PI/2 * (blinksw(CLR)-0.5 * blinksw(OD) ))) / 90) * blinksw(BENDANGLE);
//MessageDlg('New Arc Length: ' + floattostr(NewArc), mtInformation, [mbOK], 0);
result := NewArc;
end;
