CATIA V5 Sheet Metal Design
Duration: 2 Days
Current Class Schedule and Pricing
This course enables students to create features that are specific to the sheet metal modeling process. Students will be provided with a process-based approach to creating sheet metal models. Each step in the process is discussed in depth with the use of lectures and several hands-on exercises. This course focuses on the Generative Sheet Metal Design workbench.
Fundamental Topics:
- Generative Sheet Metal Design workbench
- Sheet metal terminology
- Sheet metal process
- Sheet metal parameters
- Primary wall creation – Profile, Extruded, Rolled, and Hopper
- Defining walls
- Secondary walls – Wall on edge (automatic and sketch based), Tangent, 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, dowel
- Punch and die
- Punch with Opening Faces
- Sheet metal features – Corners, chamfers, cuts and holes
- Feature duplication
- Patterning – rectangular patterns, circular patterns
- User patterns
