bend angle dependant bend radius

[Snied]

Is it possible to define a bend_angle that changes when the bend angle is modified. I am calling in the sheet_metal_material_table.txt for the BEND_RADIUS a table.

TABLE
NAME,Bend_Radius_Table_FR121
INPUTS,ANGLE
45,0.9
90,1.1
135,2.1
180,0.25
END_OF_TABLE

But allways the result for the Bend Radius is 0°. Does anyone have an idea how to handle this?

Thanks

i wouldn't expect much from sheet metal, it's basically a solid edge module, and as such is not very editable or parametric.
IE, once you've created a "full" flange, there's no way to change it to "at end" and many other edits like that..

I don't know what version you have but that seems to work perfectly fine here in NX7.5.

Can't help with the question though. Why would you want to make a part with different bend radii? It's not very practical.

We are using an air bending maschine. If you are bending the sheet with the same tools but with different bend angles you get two different bend angles.
I want to define a material for each tool. If I select this sheet material the radius has to change with the bend angle.
