Solidworks Simulation Sheet Metal

Sheet metal parts are generally used as enclosures for components or to provide support to other components.

Solidworks simulation sheet metal.

Custom operations for sheet metal parts. You can create custom operations to apply additional costs to sheet metal parts. In this tutorial video we will learn how to create a bracket with the help of sheet metal commands like base flange sketched bend and sheet metal gusset. The streamlined study setup in solidworks simulation requires the geometry to be created using solidworks sheet metal entities.

Costingmanager for sheet metal parts. 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. This can be accomplished by creating a new model constructed with sheet metal features base flange edge flange miter flange etc or an existing solid body. Use the costingmanager on the left side of the solidworks software window to see how the costing tool categorizes each operation required for manufacturing the part.
