6.1.1.6 Control Parameters<br />

Changes to the parameters will alter the manner punches and nibble paths will<br />

be optimized throughout the sheet. Zones can be created as well as changes to<br />

how the closest tool selection will be handled.<br />

6.1.1.6.1 Stability Area<br />

Within the Stability Area section of Control Parameters are two functions-<br />

zone creations and zone direction control. The zone creation (Stability<br />

Area) portion will allow a <strong>user</strong> to split a plate up in to percentage values in<br />

order to create zones within the sheet. The zone direction (Areas<br />

Alternation Order) will allow the <strong>user</strong> to control the order in which the<br />

zones will be processed.<br />

Stability Area (Height and Width %)<br />

Above the sheet was split into four separate zones (50% for both height and<br />

width). The direction in which the zones will be processed was set at<br />

Horizontal. As seen above, the first zone (top left- magenta) is followed by<br />

the second zone (top right- red), then moving down to the third zone<br />

(bottom left- green) and finishing with the fourth zone (bottom right-<br />

yellow).<br />
