Bend Axis: This application curve is unique in the fact that the application curve is not required to reside on the placement face. In fact, the radius value will be grayed out when a bend axis type of application curve is chosen. This is because the radius of the formed Bend feature is inferred from the distance between the application curve and the placement face. In this way, when the Bend is formed, it will be formed around an axis coincident with the application curve.
Bend Centerline: The resultant Bend will have equal amounts of geometry area on either side of the application curve.
Bend Tangent Line: The resultant Bend will reside entirely on one side of the application curve or the other. The Stationary Side vector signifies the side on which the Bend is built. The Sheet Metal Bend area will always be opposite the Stationary Side.
Contour Line: The application curve will be coincident with a contour line when the Bend is formed. The Contour Line option is only valid for Bends whose angles have a value less than 135 degrees.
Mold Line: The application curve will be coincident with a mold line when the Bend is formed. The Mold Line option is only valid for Bends whose angles have a value greater than 90 degrees.</pre><p class="para_refCategory"></p>
