Figure 8.5.5  General setup

Title

The user may specify a title for the current setup, and the default title is untitled.

Working coordinate system

The default bending axis is the Z-axis in the global coordinate system. The default bending direction is +X-axis in the global coordinate system. The user is allowed to define a local coordinate system for the bending simulation along arbitrary axis under the premise that the W-axis is the bending axis and +X-axis is the bending direction. The user may click the New button to define the local coordinate system, choose a C.S. from the C.S. list or click the Select button to select from the graphic area. Refer to Section 2.5 for detailed information about the creation of local C.S.
