Bye to all,
I ask a question to which I have failed to find answer in the arguments already dealt with.
I have a problem: in a project consisting of many folded sheets that I have already modeled the need to vary (up to 2 mm) the bending radius without changing the size of the stools.
the thing entails a dimensional variation of all those stools built with "flange of the edge" while the base flange remains unchanged.
I wondered if there were any special shortcomings in designing a sheet (it is in my case closed sheets "box" used for architectural coatings) so as to better digest any variations of radius or even thickness without having to manually change the size of the stools.

I hope I've explained

so many hairs
 
Let's see if I understand:
as the flange of the edge defines the distance of the fold from the edge in operation if this is internal external or medium you have that this distance is always bound to the radius.
you would like to make sure that the distance remains constant while changing its radius.
It's a mess. .
 
Let me make a little observation.
as a technician working in a company that produces elements obtained from sheet metal I can tell you that the radius of the design is not always respected, but the one of the most suitable equipment is used to process the particular.
this to say that if on the design I find internal radius 5 for sheet thickness 5 but our equipment has radius 2 is made with the latter while maintaining the size of the finished object. rarely, from us, the customer is consulted.
if for you the radius is important clearly indicate it to drawing
 
by doing some tests I realize that this problem, if I understood it well, is manifested only if as option do position flange is set Esterna piegaturausing. internal material o external material That doesn't happen.
Can you confirm that?

yes exact (I did not say that I use the flange of the edge always with option "flange position" placed on "external padding").
I felt with the supplier who uses solidedge and told me that probably the problem lies in the fact that I use this option (I should use the first but remember that it gave me a lot of problems in the past under certain particular conditions). .
 
In fact, now that I think about it as for the coating sheets usually what counts are the views of the stools (from the dimensional point of view) it should be that the same sheet was built not with the same flange option of the edge but with differentiated option (between internal and external material) depending on how the material is taken.
 
if you always use the external bending option a quick method to change the radius without changing the size could be to delete the rays with the delete face and then restore them with the desired size. Obviously it is not a clean method as a modeling philosophy.
is the method I use when amounting files step with unsuitable rays.

edit:
Alternatively you can use it in the card flange position the offset option by setting it to 2 towards the inside. should obviously be made for each flange function of the edge

the biggest problem is a sum of flange functions of the edge which then depend on each other.
to understand if everything is limited to a base (baseflangia) and four walls (boardflangia) you can manage with an equation or simply changing the size of the base with a calculation in mind; if on the walls (flangy of the edge) you put other flanges of the edge (for example as if by doing a section you see a c) you must also change the size of the flange of the previous edge and eventually create another equation.
the thing would become complicated even if not impossible; However, creating a parametric system would make sense if it was presumed to have to change that radius again.

the solution I think is what I have already written on:

"for coating sheets usually what counts are the views of the stools (from the dimensional point of view) It should be that the same sheet was built not with the same flange option of the edge but with differentiated option (between internal and external material) depending on how the material is taken. "

I checked and fused.

I can not easily apply it on the plates that have prying or "points" in gradation.
