K-Factor Table

[Justin8208]

We recently purchased new accupresses that when bending calculates the exact k-factor for that particular piece of metal and the die it was bent on. I am currently taking that information and trying to make a table that will work in solidworks. So, i need solidworks to pick a k-factor by metal thickness and radius. Angle is not critical because the same k-factor is used for any angle.

I made a bend table and its giving me this error when i use it: "the radius/thickness ratio of this bend fell outside the current table. The default k-factor will be selected."

I assume that solidworks will read between the lines so i do not need to specify every angle. We often produce parts that are not your normal 90, 45, angle.

I attached my current table. Thanks for any help provided!

Fixed. I realized that it was asking for a thickness/radius ratio. I plugged the ratios in the radius row and it worked.
