Bent Pins (round)
Bent Pins (round)
(OP)
I am a new user of solid edge. The method we currently use to create a model of a bent (round) pin is to first create a sheet metal part with the material thickness set to the diameter of the pin and then to add rounded corners to make the model look like a round pin. This allows us to create a flat pattern for manufacturing purposes.
Is there an easier way to create a bent pin? I need to be able to model it bent and then un-bend it for the draft.

Outputting Bend Information
The Bend Table command allows you to create an ASCII text file that contains information about how to manufacture the tube. You can output the tubes as a select set or output them all at once. The information consists of columns of data such as feed length, rotation angle, bend radius, and bend angle.
