Bevel type 56 is an X-bevel type with one varying bevel angle. a is varying and b is fixed
Figure 1:52. Bevel type 56.
Relevant parameters: a, b, H, GAP, DIFF
Varying parameter: a (NB: b is fixed in this case)
a is defined as depending on CON with a fixed angular offset: a = DIFF - CON
The position of the "knee" of the X-bevel is defined by H = (h, hf). The interpretation is that the position of the knee is defined by a distance H = MAX(h, hf*T) (where T is the plate thickness). By setting h=0 then H will always be a factor times the plate thickness.
|
H> 0: |
Means that the position of the knee is measured from the negative side of the bevel. |
|
H <0: |
Position measured from the positive side. |
|
CON>0: |
The positive side of the bevel is normally supposed to be turned upwards (as in the figure above). |
|
CON<0: |
Positive side downwards. |
In this case a = DIFF - CON.
