Predicting elongation in a tube shape requires complex mathematics that changes per customer application. Benderlink for SolidWorks now allows operators to program their Bend Reduction formula into the program. This is the Bend Reduction Function editor:

The editor is very powerful because it allows you to enter action Pascal code to define the function that returns the adjusted arc lengths. This is an example bend reduction program included with Benderlink:

var
  BendAllowance: real;
  NewArc: real;
begin
  BendAllowance := 0.64;
  NewArc := ((BendAllowance * blinksw(OD) + (PI/2 * (blinksw(CLR)-0.5 * blinksw(OD) ))) / 90) * blinksw(BENDANGLE);
  //MessageDlg('New Arc Length: ' + floattostr(NewArc), mtInformation, [mbOK], 0);
  result := NewArc;
end;
