For every bending curve on the profile set:
|
n = Ls/d |
Ls = |
length in space of bending curve. |
|
d = |
distance between bending points (in bending table printed by PCI in the manual fabrication list). |
|
|
xk |
x-values for each of the bending points, k = 0..n |
|
|
C |
a constant controlled by the keyword M2_BEND_TOL that shall be given for each profile type in the profile restriction file. The default value is 30 mm. |
