Angular values outside of table values

3D Design Sheet Metal / Machine Welded
1

Hi all

The subject may have already been discussed on this forum, but I can't find the answer...
I'm in the process of making a loss table with a "homemade" fold. (folding the stainless steel on an AMADA 3HFE3i)
But what will happen when my sheet metal has an angle that is not in my table? Ex: 68.5°
What value will the loss at the fold take?
Will SW fall back on the K factor as I have read elsewhere?
If this is indeed the case, isn't the safest thing to do to couple this PP table with a template table with the right K-factor settings?

Thank you for your feedback, and happy holidays

It takes an incremented value between the 2 nearest corners.
Example in 6mm sheet metal for our bend loss table, with 2 ply of 50mm ext (Table from 5° to 5°)
At 135°=96.46
At 130°=95.80

The value that increments on its own:
At 131.65°=96.02
