Bend Back Feature
The bend back feature allows you to return the unbent walls to their formed bent positions in a sheet metal part.
The element tree for the bend back feature is documented in the header file ProSmtBendBack.h and is shown in the following figure:
Figure 134. Element Tree for Bend Back Feature
Element ID | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
PRO_E_FEATURE_TYPE | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_INT | Specifies the type of feature. The value of this feature must be PRO_FEAT_BEND_BACK. |
PRO_E_STD_FEATURE_NAME | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_WSTRING | Specifies the name of the feature. The default value is Bend_Back_1. |
PRO_E_SMT_BEND_BACK_SUB_TYPE | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_INT | Specifies if all or selected geometry must be bent. The enumerated data type ProBendBackSubType contains the valid values for this element and are as follows: • PRO_BEND_BACK_ALL— Specifies that all unbent geometry must be bent back. • PRO_BEND_BACK_SELECTED— Specifies that only the specified geometry must be bent back. |
PRO_E_SMT_PRIMARY_FIXED_GEOM | Compound | This compound element defines the fixed geometry during the bend back operation. |
PRO_E_SMT_FIXED_REF | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_SELECTION | Specifies a surface or edge that remains fixed during the bend back operation. |
PRO_E_SMT_FIXED_REF_SIDE | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_INT | Specifies the flip option for the side of the edge that will remain fixed during the bend back operation. The valid values for this element are defined in the enumerated data type ProSmtFixedRefSideand are as follows: • PRO_SMT_FIXED_SIDE_ONE —First edge side of the selected fixed geometry will be fixed. • PRO_SMT_FIXED_SIDE_TWO —Second edge side normal to the selected fixed geometry will be fixed. |
PRO_E_SMT_BBACK_REF_ARR | Array | An array element of edges or surfaces to be bent back. |
PRO_E_SMT_BBACK_REF | Compound | This compound element defines collection of edges or surfaces to be bent back. |
PRO_E_SMT_BBACK_SINGLE_REF | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_SELECTION | Specifies collection of edges, surfaces, intent surfaces and chains to be bent back. |
PRO_E_SMT_BBACK_FLAT_CONTOURS_ARR | Array | An array element that specifies which contours that partially intersect a bend line shall remain flat during the bend back operation. |
PRO_E_SMT_GEOM_CONTOUR | Compound | This compound element specifies the collection of contour geometry to remain flat during the bend back operation. |
PRO_E_SMT_GEOM_CONTOUR_GEOM | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_SELECTION | Specifies the driven or offset sheet metal surface or surfaces from the element PRO_E_SMT_BBACK_SINGLE_REF that form contours. |
PRO_E_SMT_GEOM_CONTOUR_EDGE | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_SELECTION | Specifies edges from the element PRO_E_SMT_GEOM_CONTOUR_GEOM that form contours. |
