Dec 3, 2008 #1 Robbo1971 Automotive Nov 1, 2006 33 0 0 GB I am trying to use the 'FLEX' tool... I want to apply two flexes to a polyurethane disc representing the disc flexing inside a pipeline. The problem is the flex tool flexes from the centre point... can you flex about a given radius from the centre point?
