Benderlink for SolidWorks 2.0

New - Now Handles Bends 180 Degrees or Greater
Benderlink now automatically detects bends that have an angle of 180 degrees or more then performs a bisection into two smaller bend angles. This overcomes the problem of an intersection point at an unsolvable intersection by creating two intersection points with two bends where there was one.
This image shows the result of a bend being split into two adjacent bends. This part was drawn with a single large-angle bend in SolidWorks, then imported into Benderlink, and displayed in TubeCalc:
New - Automatic Combination of Two Adjacent Bends For Bender Data
Since Benderlink can now handle bend angles of 180 degree bends or greater, it is now also able to recombine adjacent bends from the centerline into single bends in the bend data.
Repair - TAURING Data Includes Straight Distances
Benderlink for SolidWorks now includes the straights in the TAURING bender data.
