The main purpose of the bending file is to provide an input to a bending machine, which bends the pipe.

Here is an example of a bent pipe and its corresponding bending file information. The pipe configuration is a 2 ft pipe/5 deg bend/2 ft pipe.

The START row indicates the start point at 0, 0, 0. The BEND1 row indicates the relative coordinates of the bend location from the start point in millimeters. The distance of 607.3 mm is almost 2 ft (23.909 in). For the FINISH point, the distance of 1216.9 mm is almost 4 ft (47.909 in). The 53.1 mm distance is the absolute elevation between the start and finish points.

You can specify that a bending file is created by selecting Bending File in Drawing Manager.Reports.Report Types for an isometric style. The keyword BENDING_FILE_APPEND places the bending file information for each extraction consecutively in one file, and the keyword BENDING_FILE_OVERWRITE erases the file and writes to it with each extraction.
