Templates

Templates are required for plates which need mechanical processing to obtain the desired shape.

We need templates in the following situations:

• Single curvature (bending) with constant radius - no template required, give bending info on plate.
• Single curvature (bending) without constant radius - 1 template required.
• Double curvature (forming) - minimum 3 templates required.

Template types

• Bow Fashion - for plates which are on the center line and have symmetry around the center line (for example a bow cone)
• Standard - all other plates:
  • Create the templates on the reference lines, as perpendicular to the surface as possible, or if this is not applicable:
  • Use Auto-Level

Template name is plate name + reference line name or, when using Auto-Level, plate name + T1 (T2, T3, etc.)
