Extracting Parts from Knuckled Panels

Plate and profile parts are extracted from knuckled panels via the function ppanparts in exactly the same way as for all other panels. The plates across knuckle lines from different subpanels will automatically be combined into plate parts with a knuckle line.

The profile parts, if any, will also be extracted in a similar way.

Faceplates may be modelled across the knuckled line in a knuckled panel. The flanges should be generated as separate parts in the involved subpanels. In the panel splitting the flanges are connected to one, provided they end close to each other and that the connection code at the ends is of basic type 4.

Production information such as correct length, marking for knuckle line, bending angle and radius will be created for the resulting flange part.
