Solidworks Sheet Metal Assembly

Most of the times a sheet metal product does not consist of just one folded sheet.

Solidworks sheet metal assembly.

We will learn base flange extruded cut unfold fold edge flange flatten solidworks assembly and appearance in solidworks sheet metal. Nestingworks automatically nests layouts of solidworks parts and assemblies for production. Click view hide show sketches. 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. A common way of building such an assembly is by modelling the different parts and add these to an assembly. In the featuremanager design tree expand flat pattern and flat pattern n. 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.

Building standalone sheet metal parts converting parts to sheet metal and modeling sheet metal parts in the context of an assembly are all topics that are covered in this course. Solidworks essentials or certified solidworks associate cswa. Sheet metal parts are generally used as enclosures for components or to provide support to other components. Building standalone sheet metal parts converting parts to sheet metal and modeling sheet metal parts in the context of an assembly are all topics that are covered in this course.

Solidworks sheet metal teaches you how to build sheet metal parts using solidworks. 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. With a part assembly or drawing open click tools options document properties sheet metal. To show bend lines in flat patterns do one of the following.

Due to its size or complexity it has to be divided into multiple sheets which are then bolted or welded. Solidworks sheet metal teaches you how to build sheet metal parts using solidworks.
