Solidworks Sheet Metal Simulation

Blankworks provides solidworks users with a fully integrated tool for developing optimal blank shapes for complex formed sheet metal designs.

Solidworks sheet metal simulation. Sheet metal parts are generally used as enclosures for components or to provide support to other components. In this tutorial video i will show you how to use forming tool in sheet metal i hope you will enjoy the tutorial please subscribe our channel for more v. Truth be told simulating forming processes can be a difficult task. Adding sheet metal gussets.

The direction of the depth automatically coincides with the sheet metal part to prevent a disjoint body. We can use these features to create sheet metal designs with several different methods. The depth of a tab feature is automatically set to the thickness of the sheet metal part. The 3dexperience works simulation portfolio includes the ability to simulate the metal forming process.

Forming processes may include stamping punch stretching forging drawing and more. The streamlined study setup in solidworks simulation requires the geometry to be created using solidworks sheet metal entities. You can create sheet metal gussets with specific indents that go across bends. It accounts for material stretch and deformation as well as bending and can flatten any solidworks geometry.

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. The products can be leveraged on solidworks models when connected to the 3dexperience platform.
