UNDER CONSTRUCTION: THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE

"Bend-Tech Industrial comes equipped with all of the functionality available in our SE product along with the following."

Importing

"NOTE: All parts that are brought into Bend-Tech Industrial must be in either .STEP/.stp or .IGES/.igs format."

2. Choose a file to import by using the standard method. Go up to the File menu at the top left hand corner of the screen, select the Import option and choose from either Solid Model (.step/.stp), STEP (.step/.stp) or IGES (.IGES/.igs) from the list depending on which file format you'd like to import.

Defining The Part

Color Code

1. After importing a solid model, the part will appear with contoured lines, arcs and circles. These are color coded to help you to identify certain sections of the tubing.

- Yellow Lines: Indicate the centerline of the tubing.

- Blue Lines: Indicate the arcs and circles of the tubing.

- Red Lines: Indicate the straights within the length of tubing.

Material Definition

1. The Select Material: drop down menu will be grayed out until the user has fully tracked the imported part. Once the part is tracked, it will need to be assigned a material which matches its Defined: outer diameter and wall thickness.

2. The Material: section will show which material is chosen from the Select Material: drop down menu above. The Outside Diameter (OD) of the material will be shown next to the orange icon and the Material Wall Thickness will be shown next to the blue icon.

3. The Defined: section will show which material is applied to the part after importing. The detected Outside Diameter (OD) of the material will be shown next to the orange icon and the detected Material Wall Thickness will be shown next to the blue icon.

4. The number of bends detected in the part will be shown next to this icon. (No, that isn't a hashtag.)
