Unbend Feature
The unbend feature allows you to unbend one or more cylinder based curvature surfaces such as bends or curved walls in a sheet metal part.
The element tree for the Unbend feature is documented in the header file ProRegularUnbend.h and is shown in the following figure:
Figure 133. Feature Element Tree for Unbend Feature
The elements in this tree are described as follows:
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_UNBEND. | ||
PRO_E_STD_FEATURE_NAME | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_WSTRING | Specifies the name of the feature. The default value is Unbend_1. | ||
PRO_E_SMT_UNBEND_TYPE | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_INT | Creates a regular unbend feature using the enumerated data type ProSmtUnbendType. This element takes the valid value PRO_SMT_REGULAR_UNBEND. | ||
PRO_E_SMT_UNBEND_SUB_TYPE | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_INT | Specifies the type of unbend execution using the enumerated data type ProUnbendSubType which has the following values: • PRO_UNBEND_ALL—Specifies that all the curved surfaces and edges must be automatically selected for unbend. • PRO_UNBEND_SELECTED—Specifies that the curved surfaces and edges must be manually selected for unbend. | ||
PRO_E_SMT_PRIMARY_FIXED_GEOM | Compound | This compound element defines a surface or an edge that remains fixed during the unbending. | ||
PRO_E_SMT_FIXED_REF | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_SELECTION | Specifies a surface or edge that remains fixed during unbending. | ||
PRO_E_SMT_FIXED_REF_SIDE | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_INT | This element is applicable only if a sharp edge is selected as the fixed reference in the element PRO_E_SMT_FIXED_REF. Flips the edge and one of the surfaces the edge lies in between, to remain fixed during unbending, using the enumerated data type ProSmtFixedRefSide. The valid values for this element are: • PRO_SMT_FIXED_SIDE_ONE —First side from the edge will be fixed. • PRO_SMT_FIXED_SIDE_TWO —Second side from the edge will be fixed. | ||
PRO_E_SMT_UNBEND_REF_ARR | Array | An array element defining the list of edges to unbend. | ||
PRO_E_SMT_UNBEND_REF | Compound | This compound element defines collection of geometry to be unbent. | ||
PRO_E_SMT_UNBEND_SINGLE_REF | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_SELECTION | Specifies edge or surface or intent surface or intent chain to unbend. | ||
PRO_E_SMT_DEFORM_SURFACES | Compound | This compound element defines the deformation surfaces. | ||
PRO_E_STD_SURF_COLLECTION_APPL | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_POINTER | Collects the surfaces to be used as deformation areas. | ||
PRO_E_SMT_ADD_CORNER_RELIEFS_OPTS | Compound | This compound element defines the relief parameters. | ||
PRO_E_SMT_ADD_CORNER_RELIEFS | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_BOOLEAN | Specifies if the relief geometry must be created. The valid values for this element are: • PRO_B_TRUE • PRO_B_FALSE | ||
PRO_E_SMT_ADD_CORNER_RELIEFS_TYPE | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_INT | Specifies the corner relief settings using the enumerated data type ProSmtAddCornRelType. The valid values for this element are: • PRO_SMT_ADD_CORN_REL_UNDEF—Specifies that the corner relief parameter is undefined. • PRO_SMT_ADD_CORN_REL_BY_FLAT_PAT—Creates the corner relief geometry on the model. • PRO_SMT_ADD_CORN_REL_BY_PARAMS—Does not creates the corner relief geometry on the model. | ||
PRO_E_SMT_FLATTEN_FORM_WALLS | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_BOOLEAN | Specifies if the walls adjusted to form geometry must be unbent. When forms are also flattened, geometry is first unbent. The valid values are: • PRO_B_TRUE • PRO_B_FALSE
| ||
PRO_E_SMT_FLATTEN_ALL_FORMS | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_BOOLEAN | Specifies if all the forms in the model must be flattened. The valid values are: • PRO_B_TRUE • PRO_B_FALSE
| ||
PRO_E_SMT_FLATTEN_PROJ_CUTS | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_BOOLEAN | Specifies if cuts must be projected to the flattened form. | ||
PRO_E_SMT_MERGE_SAME_SIDES | PRO_VALUE_TYPE_BOOLEAN | Specifies if the side surfaces located in the same location must be kept. The valid values for this element are: • PRO_B_TRUE • PRO_B_FALSE
