169 SolidWorks Sheet Metal Tutorial Convert to Sheet Metal feature; bend

we can filter on number 169 in this
tutorial we will talk about another
approach and creating it apart at this
moment we offer me with most of the
cheat meter commands and now we will
talk about the convert to sheet metal
that will make it clear which way will
be for example easier for example if we
would like to make such chip so we can
do it with this flash brush and the rest
of the demands or there is another way
shorter way Coover - she Twitter so one
of the advantages of the converter sheet
metal that you can implement these sort
of features for creating sheet metal
parts so we will make this shape and see
how we will do it and then have a look
at the converter with that options
fix it fast then it just and we will see
another example how to use sketches also
on another advantage of using convert to
admit a feature that you can convert
more complicated shapes to sheet with
that which can be easier to be done by
this own feature so the start a new part
pick the plan select examiner and define
it
sixty-five and extruded 250 with 25 drop
anger click OK now mirror this part
mirror slip this face bodies click OK so
we made this chip then two steps let's
see how to convert it into a with
that part so what they convert to
meter and here you will get the convert
to with an option use gauge table
we will talk about it will keep to the
default and let's assume that we will
have a best flash we will take the base
face over there the thickness of the
sheet metal we will keep it point five
millimeter and reverse the thickness
will see when we will start flipping the
edges
so let's assume that is the best flange
over there it is around advantages so
you can select the pages directly over
there and you will notice the color this
pink color and the pervert color
represent the pitches there are other
options let's just click OK for now
because we selected only this ages so
dorks converted only the damper and to
sheet metal part and you can flatten
this part
so if you would like to do the same
process in dart apportion the base flush
you will need to create six year
diagonal and then you will make an edge
clash then it did the sketch and it will
be like more steps to do this if you
would like to make the whole body it
will take longer time so let's go back
to convert to sheet metal option and
here we have the sketches we will talk
about it in the second example and here
are the defaults if you can look over
there so depending on the requirements
you can decide I will keep it open and
the gap can make one millimeter that
concerned overlapping cap and popularly
you can make it
tangler we took it about it for and here
if you
click reverse thickness you will get the
thickness in slide so I will check the
reverse thickness did you look over
there you have the default in various
one many meter you can overwrite the
value which snap you can make it 3/5 I
will keep it on fire so we take it about
bending through just before so we are
done but before that you are able also
to change the radius directly on the
ship that you notice over there you have
the radius snapping you can make
destroyed just to be three millimeter or
0.5 millimeter and the cap as well you
can change it change the time of the gap
and the gap with can make 2 millimeter
and give it to the default
now let's continue selecting the rest or
dependents if you go to the Pantages and
select the bend over there and this edge
you
you
and this close upper edge so now when
you are done click okay so you notice
that sort of the warstone worth it this
shape directly into a sheet with them in
few
clicks
now let's see how to use the sketches
for that we'll make first simple power
start a new bar pick the plane
we met simple queue
you
not extruded 100 millimeter this that
our data share this shape of one
millimeter okay go to we tell but
this first make sketch for drip sleep
this face make the centerline further
so this sketch will be used for drip now
go to sheet metal convert to beta
as you notice we didn't have the base
select let's say let's select this face
the thickness point 5 and the radius and
radius is 0.5 and this take the inches
you can see in the preview the shape of
the sheet metal power
select his edge
also select this edge so you'll see that
we have the opening there a bitches over
there but we would like to modify it to
have a powder in the middle so what you
let's get chest and take this sketch few
notes that we got the web in that side
so this also another bitch over there so
we'll have the whole face closed and
when you are done click OK so you'll
notice that we give the red in the
middle of the face
you can flatten have a look to the part
so this back to the main example try to
make a rim
over there so let's go back and start
sketched over here normal and make a
line in the center except
the forward until the converter
little hair drip sketches this sketch
you see the opening there there is just
your selection and to make it easier
let's uncheck
this is for so we have more the phase is
open select clip sketch and now in the
bending it just slip this plane and this
then pitch so this is why I would like
to see this box so when you are done
click OK
so and here the rabbit sketch to make
the opening in the middle of the depress
this flat
here is the gluten bar and if you would
like to make this sheet metal part with
the beast's flange and basic commands
you can imagine how longer time it will
kick
you
