Keyword Description Parameters for Bend Tables


Keyword	Description	Parameters
Version,<version-number>	Specifies the file format version.	The file format version number is provided. The current version is 3.00. Versions 1.00 and 2.00 are also supported.
Type,<type-name>	The type of data contained in the file.	A single string representing the type of data contained in the tables. Supported values are file format version dependent. Version 1.0 Bend Allowance BendDeduction: Outside setback is measured from the bend outside mold line for all bend angles. Version 2.0 Bend Allowance BendDeductionOml: Outside setback is measured from the bend outside mold line for all bend angles. BendDeductionTangent: Outside setback is bend angle dependent: Bend angle < 90 degrees: outside setback is measured from the bend outside mold line. Bend angle >= 90 degrees: outside setback is measured from tangent plane to bend. Version 3.0 Bend Allowance BendDeductionOml: Outside setback is measured from the bend outside mold line for all bend angles. BendDeductionTangent: Outside setback is bend angle dependent: Bend angle < 90 degrees: outside setback is measured from the bend outside mold line. Bend angle >= 90 degrees: outside setback is measured from tangent plane to bend.
Units,<units-type>	The default units are used for numeric values which do not have units provided explicitly.	Must be in, mm, or cm.
Thickness,<value>	Begins a bend table definition.	A single parameter specifying the thickness for which the bend deductions in the table are defined.
VeeDieWidth,<value>	Optional. Specifies an optional tooling parameter, allowing multiple sets of bend deduction values for a given thickness. Must occur after a Thickness keyword.	A single parameter specifying the width of the die tool.
DataType, <datatype-name>	Optional. Specifies whether bend radii will be specified manually or obtained from a Bend Table. Inputs in the Bend tool switch to dropdown lists of values contained in the table.	Two types are supported in Version 3.0. DataTypeCompensation: This is the default and was the only type for Versions 1.0 and 2.0. Allows for radius values to be manually entered. DataTypeRadius: New in version 3.0. Limits bend radii and VeeDieWidths to those contained in the table.
AngleValues,<value>, ...	Defines the columns of the bend deduction table. Note the extra empty cell to aid in table alignment. The values defined by the table are associated with the preceding Thickness and VeeDieWidth keywords.	A list of angles, specified in degrees.
Radius,<radius>,<deduction-value>, ...	Defines the body of the bend deduction table. Individual deduction values may be omitted. The total number of deduction values provided cannot exceed the number of values provided above for the AngleValues keyword.	The first parameter (radius) provides the inner bend radius for the table row. The following parameters all provide the deduction values for each combination of angle and radius.
KFactorFallback <True/False>	Controls what happens when an invalid VeeDieWidth is encountered.	True: K-Factor is used False: The Bend fails. This is the default.
