You create parts from sheet metal and each time you have to define bending parameters? It's not true. You can save the settings in a document template! To do it, draw a sketch and create a plate with the expected parameters: thickness, radius and allowance. Then delete this feature and the sketch, leaving the sheet metal folder. Now save the empty file as a part template. If next....
You can make undercuts in the corners of sheet metal sheets in two ways. you can tell, that everyone uses options, which suits him. Jednak jest jeszcze jeden aspekt – performance! Porównałem dziś na przykładzie stosunkowo prostej blachy dwie operacje działające w na rozłożonym arkuszu oraz na zgiętym. Jeżeli nie potrzebujesz uwidocznić podcięcia w trójwymiarze – zrezygnuj z tego! Oczywiście...
In sheet metal, depending on the cutting method (laser, wire, waterjet, e.t.c.) an appropriate allowance must be provided. Of course, it's not about the bending allowance (the so-called. coefficient k)m only additional material after the outline. How can you get this? Method 1. Move the walls away. Use the Move Wall operation to move walls away, after which it will be indented by the required....
By default, when inserting a flat sheet metal drawing, lines and bending notes appear. However, you can influence this, what will be displayed above or below the bending line. However, I have a suggestion. If you simply add the missing parameters by clicking the appropriate icons – the drawing becomes illegible. Of course, you can add e.g. k=0.74 (k is the coefficient) e.t.c., but you need...
Version of SolidWorks 2023 it is possible to pull out sheet metal with symmetrical thickening. Previously, there was an option to add thickness in one direction from the sketch. You can also use this option in the Lofted Bend operation, however, only in the bent and not shaped subtype.
Consider the following situation. sheet metal, from which I want to cut a smaller sheet. The difficulty lies in the fact, that the cut overlaps the bends. As you know, in such a case the Perpendicular cutting option should be selected. However, it is not available when thin-wall cutting or double contour cutting! However, if you cut with a double outline – SOLIDWORKS will only leave....
Hitch and slot is an operation that allows you to connect two sheet metal elements using the principle of a protrusion and a groove. So in order to use it, you need two sheet metal objects with at least one edge in contact. It is also possible to use this operation in an assembly, although it is not on the Assembly Features drop-down tab. To be able to connect two sheets of metal horizontally....
If you do not see the bend line on the flattened sheet metal despite the visible sketch, this is not a program error! The visibility of the bend line is determined by the setting in the drop-down list that overrides the visibility of elements. Then it is enough to enable the Show bending lines icon at the bottom of the card.
In sheet metal, you can chamfer or fillet using the Corners operation. Do you know how this operation differs from the classic rounding/chamfering? 1. corners. A faction corner (chamfer)/Cut the corner (rounding) are Sheet Metal features, which allow you to perform the above operations after selecting faces or edges. If you select the entire wall(Y) – the program will collect all the corners. If, however...
