      <p class="para_division">Check the opening angle for flanged cutouts. This check is performed on interior opening greater than Pierce Limit value(?) in any direction.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Purpose</div>
      <p class="para_division">To determine if a flanged cutout is open enough so that the sheet metal can be easily removed from the die.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Computational Method</div>
      <p class="para_division">This check is performed using sections that are cut normal to the trimming direction. Each section is then sampled at various locations. The open angle is checked at every point. The smallest angle found is the one reported in the nonconformance listing window if it is less then, Standard Angle value(?) The image below illustrates this computational method. Note, the check will pass any section that maintains an opening angle greater than the minimum allowable. This means the analysis can pass even if a designer supplies non-typical geometry during development of the flange.</p>
