Sheet Metal Function Solidworks

Building standalone sheet metal parts and converting conventional parts to sheet metal including in assembly context are covered.

Sheet metal function solidworks. This correction can be achieved by first using the convert to sheet metal function and then by adding a replacement flange to a new body see figure 6. Insert bends allows you to convert a shelled part to a sheet metal part. 1 creating a base flange 2 adding a miter flange 3 mirroring the part and creating. You can create sheet metal gussets with specific indents that go across bends.

Sheet metal teaches you how to build sheet metal parts using solidworks mechanical design automation software. A base flange is the first feature in a new sheet metal part. Set the sheet thickness and default bend radius. There are specific sheet metal features you can use to create sheet metal bodies quickly.

However in some circumstances when the design requires certain types of geometry you can use non sheet metal feature tools then insert bends or convert the part to sheet metal. Unfolded sheet metal before correction. In this lesson you create the sheet metal part. In this tutorial video we will learn how to create a bracket with the help of sheet metal commands like base flange sketched bend and sheet metal gusset.

In this case a correction would need to be made. Sheet metal parts are generally used as enclosures for components or to provide support to other components. You can design a sheet metal part on its own without any references to the parts it will enclose you can design the part in the context of an assembly that contains the enclosed components or you can design the part within another part document in a multibody environment.
