Searching for Similar Bends
The function
void GetSimilarCylindricBends( const MbFaceShell & shell,
RPArray<MbSheetMetalBend> & bends );
searches for similar bends.
The input parameters of the function are the sheet body shell shell and the array of initial bends bends for which similar bends must be found.
The output parameter of the function is the bends array extended with the detected similar bends.
The function does not return a value.
The function is declared in the action_sheet.h file.
In the set of sheet body faces, the function searches for bent cylindrical, conical, or ruled bends that must be added to the bends from bends to form groups of bends that can be unbent only together.
Figure shows a pair of similar bends that can be bent or unbent only simultaneously:
