The CATIA V5-6R2018: Sheet Metal Design learning guide enables you to create features that are specific to the sheet metal modeling process. You are provided with a process-based approach to creating sheet metal models. Each step in the process is discussed in depth using lectures and several hands-on practices. This learning guide focuses on the Generative Sheet Metal Design workbench.
Topics Covered
- Generative Sheet Metal Design workbench
- Sheet Metal terminology
- Sheet Metal process
- Sheet Metal parameters
- Primary wall creation - Profile, Extruded, Rolled, and Hopper
- Defining walls
- Secondary walls - Wall on edge (automatic and sketch based), Tangent, Swept
- Cylindrical bends
- Bends from flat
- Unfolded view
- Corner relief
- Point and curve mapping
- Creating standard stamps - surface stamp, bead, curve stamp, flanged cutout, louver, bridge, flanged hole, circular stamp, stiffening rib, dowel
- Punch and die
- Punch with Opening Faces
- Sheet Metal features - Corners, chamfers, cuts and holes
- Feature duplication
- Patterning - rectangular patterns, circular patterns
- User patterns
- Converting a solid part to sheet metal
- Output to DXF and drawing
