For SE customers you have the function of Spring Charts. These allow you to put in a couple (from 2 to 20) sets of bend angles vs. spring angles and the software will calculate and display the angles for a part.
To set up the Spring Charts, go to the "Die Library" window under your "Tools" pull down menu. Select "Spring Back" button near the bottom of the window.
Once you enter into the Spring Charts screen you will see everything is blank. Select a die from the list to add spring back values to and click the "Add" button from the chart in the upper left hand corner.
Fill in the "Achieved Angle" and the "Spring Angle".
Once you have filled in atleast 2 sets of values the chart will fill in on the right side.
When in a part, select the "Display Spring Angle" check box in your tooling tab.
