lambs solidworks da file .stp

[mat 1984]

Good morning to all,
I wanted to ask you if there is in solidworks the possibility to cover in sheet of .stp files with pre-constituted bendings however to maintain the parameters of radius, thickness and factor k at the same time.

I tried 2 methods for the recognition of sheet functions. see attachments:

1: (part4.sldprt) automatic replenishment of sheet functions, I can not change the thickness: It's stuck.

2prova2.sldprt) use function converts into sheet metal: I can't change the bending radius.

3: Attached also .stp starting file designed and converted into .stp with rhinoceros.

I also wanted to ask you what the software would allow you to do conversions in the best possible way.

I tried to open them in flight and they are certainly not in solidworks 2011 and not even 2014

 

[MassiVonWeizen]

opening it in 2017
point 1:
it is not true because it is enough to make modification function of extrusion1 and mofificarne the size to fit it to the whole sheet.
then that the imported part and part4 we are different is a mystery

Hello, thank you. You're right, now that I've tried to change the extrusion parameters on which the flange border function applies seems to be all working. this for the part4.sldprt file on which automatic recognition of sheet functions has been applied.

for the test file2 on which the automatic recognition of functions was not applied during the import stage and was applied after the cover function in sheet metal the problem did not solve it. There's an error message saying: impossible to change the radius of preconstituted folds.

at this point to make the file part4.sldprt as a normal solidworks sheet file it would be enough to convert the extrusion into basic flange tab function. but the only way I know is to delete the function and use the existing sketch, but also to rebuild the flange of the edge.

I am doing this discussion because I found myself having to edit and develop a large amount of complex files from solidedge but having only solidworks available I had to do everything with that. In the end I did not find a way and they put me to work in production because according to the boss I did not know how to use solidworks, at least they had made me talk to the assistance, they did not want to talk to us. :

to turn into sheet metal an extruded solid body just use the function converted into sheet metal or insert folds

that ok, that's what I've already done in the test file2 with the problems I've encountered.

 

[MassiVonWeizen]

do you think you can use solidworks? What did you say when you were asked for your level of knowledge?
assistance should be called when you are sure of a software problem that does not work

You will never work on the solid convert. try to make a recognition functions and then set the parameters of the sheet, otherwise do as it is the best thing.

 

[MassiVonWeizen]

I just opened the test2, deleted your function converted solid, remade giving correct parameters (thickness 5 radius 10) from the external face and everything works

 

[MassiVonWeizen]

to fix your test2 without having to double-click it on the sheet folder, three odds almost overlapped: 0.5 (k factor), r5 (drawing), 2 (thickness). the last has an infinite symbol that means guided by a global variable, you double click and change

I think I can use some solidworks. in the companies in which I was always used thickness equal to the internal radius. Why do you say that a double radius of thickness is correct? I'm told it's good for almost every company that develops sheet metal. I tried as you say but it doesn't work with all the thicknesses and rays. in the construction of sheet metal from scratch I never had special problems.

 

[MassiVonWeizen]

in fact I wrote from the outside face.

That's what I suspected.
the solution for now is to make automatic recognition of the functions but the starting sheet is an extrusion and not a base flange. this does not allow to change thickness and radius as you would normally with the sheet functions entering the sheet function of the drawing shaft.
You have to change the extrusion.

in these cases it is always better to reconstruct by hand the parts in order not to risk having problems and to be able to change easily in the future.

I had guessed myself but I was told that solidworks manages to import and convert in the sheet module optimally and since I failed to do so I was put to work in production.
I changed my company anyway.

I think I fixed the file in question. I had to put the check on the base flange during the recognition phase of the sheet functions. Now everything comes back. thanks to all for support
