Design Checks for Bendables

	This task shows you how to perform design checks on bendable pipes, tubes, conduits and waveguides. The design checks will tell you whether the radius of a bend, the total length of the run and the rest length are within prescribed limits. The rest length is the straight segment between two nodes (with bend radius).
	Click the `Solve` button whenever you see it active (not grayed out) during this process. Also, don't forget that you need to have the Knowledge Expert product installed for this process. In the following example the maximum bend radius will be checked.
	1.	Click `Start - Knowledgeware - Knowledge Expert` to enter the Knowledge Expert workbench.
	2.	Set up your options correctly or you will not be able to do the following steps correctly. Click T`ools - Options` and select `Mechanical Design - Assembly Design` from the left column of the window. Click the `General` tab. Select `Automatic` for the Update function. Click `Infrastructure - Product Structure` in the left column of the window. Select the `Tree Customization` tab and activate `Relations` under Specification Tree Order.
	3.	Make the run active.
	4.	Click the `Insert Rules` button and navigate to the KnowledgeRules directory (...intel_a\startup\components).
	5.	Select `Bendable_CheckMaxBendRadius.CATProduct` and click `Open`.
	6.	If the desired bend radius violates the bend radius rules, a red symbol will show against the relevant CATProduct line icon in the specifications tree, in this case `CATKWEBendRadiusCheck.1`. If there is no violation then a green symbol will show next to it. In the illustration below the red button is showing (with the mouse pointer pointed at it).
	7.	To change the maximum bend radius do the following: Each check has a parameter element beneath it in the specifications tree - in this case it is MaxBendRadius. Double-click on the element to display the Edit Parameter dialog box. Enter your maximum bend radius in this box.
		To check for rest length and total run length select the appropriate CATProduct in the Load Report dialog box. Make sure it has the word "check" in it.
