The CATIA V5-6R2023: Sheet Metal Design 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 guide focuses on the Generative Sheetmetal Design workbench.
Topics Covered
• Generative Sheetmetal Design workbench
• Sheet metal terminology, process, and parameters
• Primary wall creation – profile, extruded, rolled, and hopper
• Defining walls
• Secondary walls – wall on edge (automatic and sketch based), tangent, and 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, and dowel
• Punch and die
• Punch with opening faces
• Sheet metal features – corners, chamfers, cuts and holes
• Feature duplication
• Patterning – rectangular patterns, circular patterns, and user patterns
• Converting a solid part to sheet metal
• Output to DXF and drawing
