Knuckled

This function is used to create a knuckled panel from a number of ordinary panels. These panels are changed to be sub-panels and are included in the created knuckled main panel. Given a bending type the system finds the limits to connect updating the boundary definition.

The symmetry code of the main knuckled panel is derived from the contained panels. If all panels are symmetrical, the knuckled panel will be symmetrical. If any of the panels is over-CL, or if panels are defined on both sides of the CL, the knuckled panel will be defined as over-CL. In other cases the knuckled panel will be defined on either PS or SB.

If a knuckled panel is indicated, the function will ask if the knuckled panels shall be split into several ordinary panels.

Note: If the panels to be converted to sub-panel are symmetrical, this function does NOT handle side specific Holes, Notches, Cutouts or Excess.
