ThreeBendCornerBuilder Class

class NXOpen.Features.SheetMetal.ThreeBendCornerBuilder

Bases: NXOpen.Features.FeatureBuilder

The Three Bend Corner feature class.

Users can identify multiple input face pairs for each three bend corner feature. Each pair is made up of one face each from adjacent bends. The bends must both have the same radius and sweep angle, and they must also be connected via another adjoining bend.

To create a new instance of this class, use NXOpen.Features.SheetMetal.SheetmetalManager.CreateThreeBendCornerFeatureBuilder()

New in version NX4.0.0.
