In the piping line stock there first tab, one can specify bend radius and bend angle with multiple values, space separated. Why and what is the impact of having multiple values there? Do they drive the pipe design?
Then in the Design Rule tab one can define a miniumum and maximum bend radius and angle. Are these driving or what purpose do they have?
In the User Defined tab one can define bends (with names) and a value to them. Are these driving or what is the purpose?
What I eventually want to do is to ensure that the bend radius is always 30mm. A further refinement that I'm not sure is possible would be to have it vary depending on the bend angle. This is because the bend machine that we have has a fixed radius, and as such the springback of tubes that are bend result in a radius other than 30mm, depending on the angle that is bent.
