Automatic Addition of Bending Excess to Curved Shell Stiffeners

When a curved shell profile is manufactured in the workshop there is often a need for excess material at the ends to be able to bend the profile. This document describes how this bending excess can be automatically calculated and added to the profile using Profile Nesting Utility and presented to the user with Profile Cutting Interface (PCI). All "keywords" that are referred to below can be found in the restriction file described in Curvature Control of Shell Stiffeners.
