This training course 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 training course focuses on the Generative Sheet Metal Design workbench.
Topics Covered in this CATIA V5 Training Course:
- 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
