Sheet metal contour roll reference

Creates a rolled sheet metal feature from an open profile.

Access

Ribbon: Sheet Metal tab Create panel Contour Roll

Shape

		Used to select profile geometry.
		Used to select rotation axis. Note - Rotation axis geometry must be contained within the sketch containing the profile geometry.
		Flip Side - Click to offset the material thickness to the other side of the selected profile.
		Flip Side - Click to offset the material thickness to the other side of the selected profile.
		Both Sides - Click to offset the material thickness equally to both sides of the selected profile.

Rolled Angle

	Rolled Angle	Data entry field. Allows the value of the angular sweep of the rolled section to be input. Defaults to 90 degrees. Note - angle value may not equal 360 degrees for multi-segment profiles. A Rolled Angle value of 360 degrees can be used for profiles with a single, straight line.
		When active, click to sweep the Contour Roll in the direction opposite of the previewed direction.
		When active, click to sweep the Contour Roll in the direction opposite of the previewed direction.
		Click to sweep the Contour Roll equally both clockwise and counter-clockwise from the selected profile.

Unfolding Unrolling

	Unroll Method	Drop-down selection list allowing the selection of the method used to unroll the Contour Roll feature. These methods all derive a Developed Length by multiplying the Rolled Angle by a Neutral Radius. They differ by the type of input provided: Centroid Cylinder - The default method: an axis parallel to the revolute axis is passed through the evaluated Centroid location providing input to define a neutral cylindrical surface. Custom Cylinder - Allows selection of a sketched line which defines the surface of the cylindrical neutral surface. Developed Length - Allows entry of an explicit value which drives the developed length of the flattened rolled segment. Neutral Radius - Allows a parametrically determined value for the neutral radius (when multi-segment profiles are considered). KFactor - Method used for single-segment linear profiles.
	Unfold Rule	Drop-down selection list allowing the selection of an Unfold Rule that differs from the Unfold Rule specified in the active Sheet Metal Rule.
	Neutral Radius	Informational display. Displays the value of the neutral radius used when deriving a developed length using a rolled angle.
	Unrolled Length	Informational display. Displays the length value of the unrolled Contour Roll feature.

Bend Radius

Data entry field. Allows input of the value of the bend radius. Defaults to the system parameter BendRadius. Note: This data entry field is disabled when a single, linear profile is selected.
