# Press-brake force screening
# Scope: Air-bending empirical force scaling; coefficient must match tooling/material convention.
# Status: illustrative worked example; engineering review pending.
# Inputs are example values. Checks are editable example requirements, not standards.

strength = 400 MPa
length = 100 mm
thickness = 1 mm
dieOpening = 8 mm
coefficient = 1.33

force := coefficient*strength*length*thickness^2/dieOpening [kN]

check press force budget: force <= 10 kN

scenario alternative: strength = 320 MPa
