Conical Roll Bending Inputs

You can manually assign 3- or 4-roll bending to conical geometry within the following guidelines:

• The cone must be a portion of a cone or a full cone with a slit.

aPriori does not support 360 degree cones or cones without a small slit due to blank /sheet recognition

• aPriori does not definitively recognize a “Conical GCD”. Instead, the GCD is a Form with “Ruled” = true. The following screenshot shows an example of the Geometric Cost Driver panel for a conical part.

• Various cone properties are estimated based on form dimensions, with PSOs provided to override defaults.
