11.16.1 Explanation of the Interpolation Procedure
Since only a limited number of values in 0.1mm steps can be stored in this table, the values in between are
interpolated. The calculation of the intermediate steps is based on a linear behavior of the values for angle and
gap between two successive material thicknesses.
Example:
The values marked in red are fixed in the material table. Now a value for the material thickness of 2.5 mm is to
be loaded. For a better overview, only the calculation for the gap value is illustrated in this example. The inter-
mediate steps for the angle are calculated according to the same principle.

0.5 0.10 0.75
2.0 0.20 1.00
3.0 0.30 1.25
4.0 0.40 1.50
6.0 0.50 1.75

As you can see from the blue line in the right diagram, the intermediate step 0.25 is now calculated for the gap.
