Creating a Sheet
Metal Part Using Sharp Bends
When bending sheet metal, you may want to create sharp bends instead
of round
bends.
To create a sheet metal part with sharp
bends:
Create a part by
sketching the part profile, then extruding a thin-feature part.
Click Insert
Bends or click Insert, Sheet Metal,
Bends.
In the PropertyManager, under Bend
Parameters:
Under Bend Allowance,
select from the following options: Bend Table,
K-Factor,
Bend Allowance,
Bend Deduction, or Bend
Calculation.
If you selected
K-Factor, Bend Allowance,
or Bend Deduction, type a value.
If you selected
Bend Table or Bend Calculation,
select a table from the list, or click
Browse to browse to a table.
-
If you want relief cuts added automatically, select the Auto Relief check box, then choose the
type of relief cut. If you choose Rectangular
or
Obround, then you must specify a Relief
Ratio.
The options and values you specify for
bend radius, bend allowance, and auto relief are shown as the default
settings for the next new sheet metal part that you create.
-
Click OK .
A bent sheet metal part is created whose
dimensions in the flattened state reflect the specified bend allowance
and radius values.
