Custom Sheet Metal Unfold Equation

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello,

I am a new user switching over from NX.  My question relates to the sheet metal unfold custom equations settings.  I have been using a custom equation in NX that has been working very well for our sheet metal parts, but I can't get Inventor to accept the equation.  

 

Going to "Sheet Metal Defaults" > the pencil icon to edit > changing the unfold method to "Custom Equation" > double clicking in the custom equation field.

 

The first screen grab shows the equation I want

The second screen grab shows that the equation, before adding the bend angle, works (black text).

Does anyone no what syntax or other error I am making on this?

 

Thanks in advance,

K

The output of the equation should be in mm.
Therefore try replacing 'β' with '(β/180 deg)*π', which is unitless.
