These changes can be completely freeform or driven by numeric increments and measurements taken from existing geometry.
Rather than modifying a lengthy series of parameters to make a design change, direct modelling allows the user to push, pull and drag the geometry to obtain their desired shape. DIRECT MODELLINGÄirect modelling frees the user from the constraints of a traditional modelling system.
Imported data automatically creates sketch profile regions making the transformation from 2D to 3D easier than ever. RADAN | Designer supports the import of DXF and DWG files allowing the user to transform existing 2D data into a 3D model by simply reusing the imported profiles from the original data. RADAN | Designer imports data from a wide variety of exchange formats including Parasolid, IGES, STEP, ACIS, DXF, DWG, STL and VDA files as well as native data from the following CAD systems: Unfolding parameters, such as bend allowances, can be controlled independently of the geometry, enabling an accurate development that is based on the actual bending machines and tooling to be used in production. Available are unfolding using a setback at 90 degrees, a k-factor, DIN correction, or using only the V-width of the die that will be used to bend the part. RADAN | Designer offers a flexible material library and several calculation methods to create the correct unfolded shape. Unfolding a sheet metal part couldn’t be easier. RADAN | Designer has functionality to correct the thickness, change bend radii and make changes to flange angles and lengths. Several powerful sheet metal functions are available to prepare a part for unfolding.
