Bend conduit right the first time. Bend Aid is a professional conduit bending solver that uses the correct mathematical formulas for the shapes conduit is actually bent into β€” not the cosecant shortcut, not charts, not correction factors. An offset is not a right triangle. A right triangle has three straight lines; an offset has two bends and a straight section, and gain happens in every bend. The cosecant method has been used for almost 100 years as a "trick of the trade" because the correct math is too complicated to do by hand β€” it's "close enough most of the time," until a large bend radius or bend angle forces you to fix the bend. It's not your fault you were taught tricks. Bend Aid does the correct math for you. HOW IT WORKS Measure where the conduit has to fit, enter your dimensions, and use the answers to lay out the bend. Measure any two of the four right-triangle values and Bend Aid solves the rest β€” including the bend angle, which is not the same as the measured angle. Bend Aid solves the whole offset, from the start of the first bend to the finish of the second, and finds the smallest bend angle that fits between obstructions or supports β€” making wire pulling easier, reducing strain on conductors, and saving fittings, nipples, and material. WHAT BEND AID SOLVES β€’ Offsets β€” including rack and concentric offsets β€’ Saddles β€” 3-point and 4-point, with rack and concentric variations β€’ Kicks β€” simple kicks, rack and concentric kicks, kicks to horizontal or vertical β€’ Nineties β€” single 90s, back-to-back, rack, and concentric bends β€’ Right triangles β€” enter any two values, get the rest β€’ Find Bend Radius β€” measure your bender's true centerline radius β€’ Chart Bender β€” solve bends using your bender's chart values EVERY ANSWER YOU NEED Bend Aid gives you all the numbers the old methods can't: where every bend mark goes, the total finished length, whether the conduit will still fit in the bender for the second bend, and the layout dimensions to cut and thread to length when needed. WORKS WITH ANY CONDUIT Bend Aid solves the centerline of the bends, so it works with any type and any size of conduit β€” EMT, rigid, IMC, PVC β€” and any bender, once you know its centerline radius. YOUR NUMBERS, YOUR FORMAT Enter and read answers in decimal inches, fractions to 1/16" or 1/32", or millimeters. Real-time validation catches entry errors before they reach the conduit. BUILT FOR THE TRADE If your job is skilled labor, you know tools are how the work gets done. Benders, tape measures, levels, and pencils are tools β€” Bend Aid is the tool that ties them together. Stop guessing, stop practice-bending, stop wasting time and material. Measure, enter, bend.

QuikFlow, but with the Pro In-App-Purchase already unlocked! Create flowcharts (and mind maps) without worrying about layout in QuikFlow. With our innovative interactive layout algorithms, you can work as if you were using a mind mapping application while creating flowcharts. Define your structure and the app handles the layout! CREATE FLOWS, NOT JUST MIND MAPS Creating flows is just like creating mind maps. But without the restrictions. Let flows converge or loop back around. All while retaining the same intuitive workflow. FOCUS ON YOUR CONTENT, NOT ON THE LAYOUT Define your flow and the relationships between different elements. The layout happens automatically while you are working. To adjust the layout, you can reorganize elements using drag-and-drop. MAKE CHANGES WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT THE DETAILS No matter what you change, the layout will automatically adapt. Paste a whole subflow into the middle of the flow. Delete any part of the flow, no matter how intertwined. You won’t have to spend most of your time fixing the layout. EXPAND YOUR FLOW A node is simple. But every node can expand into a full rich-text document with headlines, lists, images, links, dividers and more. On canvas or in off-canvas notes. There can even be interactive tasks and checklists, allowing you to do flow-based task management. FIND YOUR STYLE Style each node and connector. Quickly reuse styles across your graph using the automatically generated library. Find the right look for new files using our premade templates or your own custom templates. SHARE AND EXPORT WITHOUT SURPRISES Easily share your creations in popular file formats (PDF and PNG). In high quality and without fuss. It is that simple. INPUT BEYOND THE TOUCH We think we built the qui(c)kest way to create a flow using touch. But QuikFlow started on desktop. And we brought all the mouse and keyboard support over to iPad.
