Braid

Braiding is a function of the Dressing D3 (Braid) sub-type, and the bundle length/diameter, unit cost of braiding material, braid angle,and weight of braiding material

Process Time = (Total Braid Length) * (Braiding Rate)

Total braid length is derived from the Dressing Length UDA (or user override)

Required Yarn Length in millimeters = Number of Carriers * Max Bundle Diameter * PI / cos(Braid Angle)

Braiding rate, Maximum Bundle Diameter, and Number of Carriers is derived from the machine tables.

Default braiding Angle is 45 degrees and is user overridable via Process Setup Options.
