Enclosure engineering with bent copper items consists of the following working steps:

1. Create a form (path of the rectangular basic form to shape the rail) in the outline editor.
2. Place a busbar (bending) with edgewise or flat bending; in the process, a rail part of defined width and depth is selected, a form is assigned, and a bending radius is determined for the bending positions.
3. Modify the length, angle and bending positions at the placed rail; adjust for the specific spatial circumstances in the enclosure; in the process, the "unfolded total length" of the copper item is calculated and updated permanently.
4. Copy, rotate, move the placed rail.
5. Place other rails; this generates copper bundles.
6. Create report on copper parts (mounting list).
7. Unfold bent rails; this takes into account bending radii, material stretching and compression.
8. Transfer unfold to manufacturing machines.
