3DCS Segment Bend Move Tutorial - Learn to Use Tolerance Analysis Software

The Segment Bend Move follows the same concept as the Auto Bend Move but gives the user even more control and options. What separates the Segment Bend Move from the Auto Bend Move is the ability for the user to manually select and edit the bend point order and the bend lines. There is no limit in the amount of bend locations. This capability is especially useful in the auto industry for body panels and in the Aerospace industry for fuselages or any type of assembly that has numerous primary plane features that need to be accounted for.
Beginning in the 3DCS v8.0 release, the Segment Bend Move can be found as a routine within the Auto Bend Move. It can be selected from the Mode dropdown of the Features tab. Prior to the 3DCS v8.0 release, the Segment Bend Move is called “dcsSegBendMv” and could be found within the dcu_autbend.dll library.
In this example, we focus on a Door Ring assembly to show the user how to utilize the Segment Bend Move operation. This video will demonstrate how to locate the assembly to all six of its fixture pad locations and how to choose which features are bent to and in what order.

Hello sir,
What is bending points,??
Why don't use 3-2-1
Format?

[@XiaoBuding-ol8og]

Normally A1, A2, and A3 form the largest triangle as the primary datum, and A4, A5, and A6 are in the triangle formed by A1, A2, and A3.How to use bend in this case？

[@DCSengineering]

If your A1, A2 and A3 form the largest triangle possible for your primary datum and the additional A Datums (A4, A5, A6 etc..) fall within that triangle, then you can just use a Six-Plane move and use A1-3 only to establish primary plane. Reason being is that there is no dimensional benefit in adding more locating points that lie within an already-established primary plane.
