Bug of bend component

[P Herwig MSc]

Hi peipei,

I checked your issue with a colleague. The Radius is set to 0 in SHAPEP because the calculated bend length becomes less then 0.2 times the specified bend element length (in POLYDIF). In your case the bend length is approximately 8 [mm] whilst the specified bend element length is 50 [mm].

If I am correct you should have got warning W200/4: "Zero bend angle with radius". Unfortunately this is not a very proper warning for this situation since the bend angle is not near zero, but the calculated element length is too small. The warning will be either adapted or a new warning will be added to notify the user that the Radius is set to 0 due to a bend length less then 0.2 times the specified bend element length. This issue is noted as ticket J-335.
