Dec 20, 2012I have a sheet metal door with a little bracket that gets welded to the inside lip through a cut-out in the face of the door. (see assembly)
I can't get the cut-out to line up flush with the inside lip of the door, as that is where the brackets gets welded to. the current aseembly is set-up the way I want, but I can't get a flat pattern on the door, becasue of the cut going across the bend.
I have checked off the "cut across bend" in the cut dialogue box, but this leaves a small (~1/32) lip in the cut-out and runs interference in the placement of the bracket.

Apr 16, 2013Ive imported a CATIA part and I'm trying to redraw it in Inventor. I have the main panels and bend rads in but I cannot for the life of me work out how to model the bend reliefs so they are similar to the ones on CATIA. The purpose of all of this is too reduce the bend reliefs that CATIA has produced even further.
Ive added both the original dumb solid from catia and the new inventor model to an assembly and contrained them in line so hopefully you see what I mean.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Sheet Metal - Fold (bend And Twist)
Apr 23, 2012I have the following sheet metal application: A flat bar steel (strip) 40x1mm is bent and twisted around three cylinders. In our process, the strip is running in loop around these cylinders, like a conveyor-belt. At first, it is bent around the first cylinder (blue). Then, it is bent and twisted around the second cylinder (green). Between these cylinders, a flat part is modelled so that the strip will be bent upwards (twisted) around the next cylinder. The same is done between cylinder two and three. In praxis, when I bend the strip, no flat part will be present, because the strip is quite stiff, as it is spring steel. In my Inventor model, no stiffness of the strip is taken into consideration.
I am looking for a better way to model this strip, where stiffness of the material is taken into consideration.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Sheet Metal - Automatize Bend Radius Value

View 6 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Changing Sheet Metal Thickness And Bend Radius
Mar 13, 2012I wrote an app some time ago that swaps out user parameters that drive sheet metal thickness and bend radius.
it appears to work about 60% of the time when it doesn't it does not give any warning but even though the FX table shows the new user parameters driving thickness and bend radius the "sheet metal defaults dialog" thickness input box is grayed out and shows no value what so ever. Clicking the Edit Sheet metal rule to display the "Style and Standard Edtior" the Thickness and Bendradius still show the Old userparameters. See attached Pic.
I am setting the parameters as follows.
Replaced "Chan_Th" with "chn_thk" in FX Userparameters
then...
[Code]
oSheetMetalCompDef.UseSheetMetalStyleMaterial = True oSheetMetalCompDef.ActiveSheetMetalStyle.Thickness = sThick
[/Code]
As you can see FX reports the change but sheet metal settings does not.
This code appears to work or not at random.
AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Connect Two Sheet Metal Faces With A Bend When Edges Are Not Parallel

Feb 18, 2013The question is if I have designed a part in sheet metal with multiple flanges and one of my edges follow a specific radius. Is is possible to use contour roll or any other means to create a flange on that edge that will allow me to flatten that out. I cant see it being physically possible putting a bend in there as the material would need to stretch and the bend tool would need to follow that radius.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Round Sheet Metal Strap Jog Between Two Different Straps?
Dec 9, 2011In Inventor 2010 we have a sheet metal, with a lot of different straps. But we cannot create round jogs between them. It's only possible, if all straps are created at the same time with the same size etc.
Please see the attached file. The upper version, is the one, it looks in the moment and we want an apperance like the lower one.
Is it possible? Because we cannot add all the round holes later on in development of the sheet metal.

Not sure if this even possible in the real world sheet metal house to develop the flat pattern.

Nov 28, 2011Let me start by saying that we rarely use sheet metal parts so I'm not real familiar with that interface. That said, I can create sheet metal parts with square shapes and bends just fine. However, I'm currently stumped as to the best way to model what should be a pretty simple plate.
We have a large, thin (1/8") square plate to which we want to add 2 opposing diagonal very slight breaks to add stiffness to the plate. More specifically, we want these diagonal bends to cover the center part of the plate leaving about a 2" flat flange all the way around the plate.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Unable To Create A Flat Pattern From Derived Sheet Metal Part
Nov 9, 2010The company I work for has a large number of Left Hand and Right Hand sheet metal parts. To reduce the amount of time needed to create both Left Hand and Right Hand sheet metal parts, I use the Derived Part icon. I create a Left Hand part, use the derive icon with mirroring on and create the Right Hand part. While the Right Hand sheet metal part gets created, the Right Hand part will not allow me to create a Flat Pattern.
what steps must I follow to create a derived sheet metal part that I can make a Flat Pattern with?
