Enclosure engineering with bent copper items consists of the following working steps:
- Create a form (path of the rectangular basic form to shape the rail) in the outline editor.
- Place a busbar (bending) with edgewise or flat bending; in the process, a rail part of defined width and depth is selected, a form is assigned, and a bending radius is determined for the bending positions.
- Modify the length, angle and bending positions at the placed rail; adjust for the specific spatial circumstances in the enclosure; in the process, the "unfolded total length" of the copper item is calculated and updated permanently.
- Copy, rotate, move the placed rail.
- Place other rails; this generates copper bundles.
- Create report on copper parts (mounting list).
- Unfold bent rails; this takes into account bending radii, material stretching and compression.
- Transfer unfold to manufacturing machines.
