Part preparation / Unfolding

• Leading surfaces are associative. Lateral extensions are possible
• Management of parts with null internal bending radius

Strip creation

• Deep drawn parts creation and management, wizard to calculate the number of stages needed, dedicated components
• New way to define stations (contour curve)

Strip creation operations

• Controlled update of stations

Die bases

• Management of vertical spaces between plates

Components

• Pre-visualisation of components during insertion
• Reproduce function: dimensions, clearances and visual attributes
• Automated hooking on named faces

Punches and dies

• Punches: centered cutting wave, fixing key groove
• Overbending management: K factor value, unrolling mode
• Bending punches and dies: overbending management by shifting
• Clearance function: management of local clearances as well as the main clearance. Advanced radius treatment
• Management of clearance on profiles
• Corner relief (symmetrical or asymmetrical), mistake proofing
• Finish die clearing, vertical fillets

Tools

• Visualisation: BOM index displaying

Draft creation

• Aligned section
• Compact drill tables, symbols
