-[[File:sim02.png|right|500px]]The simulation plug-in allows a basic (the part and the die) animation of the part being bent to be viewed. The bend order, the speed of the simulation, and the bending style can be adjusted. There is also the option to save or print the current view of the part in the bending process.
