Specifies the default values for the bracket flange parameters. Values can be modified as permitted by the catalog. This tab is only visible after bracket creation when Flange is selected for Reinforcement.

Neutral Axis Ratio

Sets the molded side of the bracket and bracket flange. This option creates the flange symbol at the correct location by accounting for molded convention thickness direction and offset values.

  • If the molded side is the inner surface, the value is 0.

  • If the molded side is the outer surface, the value is 1.

  • If the molded side is centered, the value is 0.5.

Flange Width

Width of the flange measured from the edge of the bracket symbol, which is also the first bend tangent.

Inner Radius

Bend radius measured along the inner surface of the bend.

Bend Angle

Angle between the flange surface and bracket surface.

1 - Flange Width
2 - Bend Angle
3 - Inner Radius

KnuLine

The knuckle line for the flange, measured from the edge where the flange is added to the bracket plate to the edge of the unrolled flange. This is calculated by the rule based on the other parameter values so that when the flange is fully bent at manufacturing, the flange length is correct as specified. This parameter is read-only.

RollLine1 / RollLine2

The roll lines define exactly how the flange is rolled or bent during manufacturing. RollLine1 is measured from the edge where the flange is added to the bracket plate, and RollLine2 is measured from where RollLine1 ends. These parameters are read-only and are calculated by the rule based on the other parameter values.

Flange Orientation

Select the orientation of the flange bracket.

  • Same As Parent - Orientation is the same as the bracket plate system primary profile orientation.

  • Against Parent - Orientation is in the opposite direction of the bracket plate system primary profile orientation.
