Solidworks Simulation Sheet Metal

Solidworks multibody part functionality lets you work with several bodies in one part to create complex sheet metal designs.

Solidworks simulation sheet metal. 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. Sheet metal parts are generally used as enclosures for components or to provide support to other components. Custom operations for sheet metal parts. Costingmanager for sheet metal parts.

The streamlined study setup in solidworks simulation requires the geometry to be created using solidworks sheet metal entities. 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. You can create custom operations to apply additional costs to sheet metal parts. Multibody sheet metal parts can consist of multiple sheet metal bodies or a combination of sheet metal and other bodies such as weldment bodies.
