There are different ways on how Advance Steel calculates the expansion for unfolding. One of these options is to define the expansion by a table.
The table is "UnwindingElongation" in AstorBase.mdb database.
The table is "UnwindingElongation" in AstorBase.mdb database.

| The columns mean the following: | |
| Key | A unique number |
| MaterialClass | The number refers to the MaterialClass table in AstorBase.mdb, where groups of materials are defined. The defined unfolding will work on the specified materials in this group. |
| Thickness | Thickness of the unfold object |
| Radius | Radius at the bent corner; " - 1 " means default radius |
| Angle | Bent angle [measured in radian] |
| Elongation | Expansion for the unfold |
Attention:
The defined expansion is only used for objects that match exactly the defined criteria. If the model object does not match exactly the criteria then the expansion is calculated according to the closest match defined in the table.
