Creation of Spinal Bend
Step 1:
Open the part file spanner.prt
Step 2 :
Select Spinal Bend command from the Engineering drop down menu of the Model tab.
Step 3 :
Go to Reference tab and select the Spine curve as shown.
Step 4 :
Reverse the spine direction by clicking on direction arrow as shown
Step 5:
Click on the Bend geometry collector and then select the model geometry as shown.
Step 6:
Observe that the model has been bent as per the selected spline curve.
Step 7:
Enable and then disable Preserve Length option in Settings pane and observe the changes in model
Note : This change in model happens because when Preserve Length option is enabled, the original length of the model will be maintained despite the model being bent. But when this option is disabled, the length of the bent model adjusts as per the length of the spline curve.
Step 8:
Observe the Unattached and Attached preview as shown.
Step 9:
Click OK to finish the Spinal Bend and observe the bent model.
