Changing outer bend radius
Changing outer bend radius
(OP)
Hello
I have a sheet metal part in Sold Edge V17 for which i want to change the outer bend radius to 1.5mm.
I used the option for changing the bend radius but it changes the inside radius instead of the outside.
Can someone tell me how to change the outside bend radius?

RE: Changing outer bend radius
In Solid Edge, you control the inside bend radius. If you change it, the outside radius will change also because it's equal to (inside) bend radius + thickness.
NB: You can create a variable called outside_br in the variable table, enter the value you want and then give the (inside) bend radius the following formula :
bend radius=outside_br-thickness
