Defines the parameters for all aspects of a corner in a sheet metal feature.
Overrides default parameters in the Sheet Metal Styles dialog box that define how corners are relieved when a folded model is unfolded. Change these parameters for individual features using the Corner Options tab.
- Access
- In the Contour Flange, Flange, or Corner Seam dialog box, click the Corner tab.
Note: Not all options described are available or valid for each feature that shares this tab.
- Defines the Default corner relief shape when 2 bends intersect
-
- Round
- A circular cut out centered on the intersection of the bend lines.
- Square
- A square cut out centered on the intersection of the bend lines.
- Tear
- Extends the flange edges to their intersection. No relief, which allows material failure (tearing) across the bend zone in the folded model.
- Trim to Bend
- A polygonal cut out bounded by the bending zone lines.
- Linear Weld
- A V-shaped cut out defined from the intersection of the inner bend zone lines to the outer bend zone intersection of the line with the flange edges. Minimum relief allows a subsequent weld operation to close the corner.
- Arc Weld
- Curves tangent to the flange edges along the outside edge of the bend zone which converge to a flat gap equal to the Miter Gap value. A gap between the flanges that is equidistant along the length of the relief is suitable for subsequent arc welding.
- Round
- Defines the Default corner relief to display in the flat pattern when three bends intersect
-
Note: The folded model does not display the selected relief option.
- No Replacement
- Does not replace the geometry as modeled in the flat pattern
- Intersection
- Extends and intersects the flange edges.
- Full Round
- Extends the flange edges to their intersection, and then places a fillet tangent to the bend zone tangency lines. Radius are likely larger than what is produced using the Round with Radius option.
- Round with Radius
- Extends the flange edges to their intersection, and then places a tangent fillet of the size specified. Radius is likely smaller than what is produced by the Full Round option
- No Replacement
- Relief Size
- Controls the size of the Corner Relief of the selected feature from the default, as defined in the Sheet Metal Style, using the named parameter: CornerReliefSize.
- Apply Auto-Mitering
- Automatically extends material between adjacent flange edges during creation or edit of at least two flange edges during a single operation where bend angle is greater than 90 degrees. Available on Flange and Contour Flange dialog box (not available on Corner tab of Corner Seam dialog box).
- Apply Auto-Mitering turned on.
- Apply Auto-Mitering turned off.
- Apply Auto-Mitering turned on.
- Miter Gap
- When the Auto-Miter is turned on, you can enter a value to change the size of an automatically applied gap between flanges. The value displayed defaults to the system named parameter GapSize, which is defined in the Sheet Metal Style.
- 2 Bend/3 Bend Corner
- Indicates the type of corner relief to apply to the selected geometry. Available only when a choice must be made between the type of corner being specified. When inactive, they indicate the type of corner selected.
