Solidworks Sheet Metal Enclosure Part Design

Bends are added wherever appropriate and sheet metal specific features are added to the feature manager design tree.

Solidworks sheet metal enclosure part design.

Sketch driven sheet metal assembly design is the perfect course for you. The base flange feature is created from a sketch. The sketch can be a single open single closed or multiple enclosed profiles. You might also like.

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. Bend the part by clicking sketched bend. Start a free 10 day trial. The sheet metal features appear in the featuremanager design tree.

Solidworks 2012 and up. So take a firsthand walk through designing a sheet metal enclosure for circuit boards and panel mounted connectors as well as fans power cords and switches with 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. Throughout these lessons we will be creating a sheet metal part for an electrical enclosure confined and driven by a design envelope along with various tools including the edge and miter flanges bolt holes a vent and various other features.

Solidworks includes sheet metal specific features so you can create a part as sheet metal without having to convert it to sheet metal. The course will cover the creation of a portion of an electrical enclosure to house equipment for assembly line processing machines. To bend the sheet metal part sketch lines on the part as shown. In it you will design and manipulate the enclosure to fit your original part.

There are specific sheet metal features you can use to create sheet metal bodies quickly.
