Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002 Sheet Metal Walls Upon completion of this lesson, you will be able to identify and apply the new capabilities found within the Generative Sheet Metal workbench to create… Walls from an edge Walls on an Edge Extruded Walls

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002 Creating walls from an edge New Wall on Edge Definition panel with the ability to have a wall on edge created with reference in height or length. V5R8 Height = the orthogonal projection from the top or bottom of the wall on edge to the reference wall. Length = the absolute value of the wall on edge without bend.

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002 Walls on an Edge Select the wall on edge icon Select OK to create the wall Key in the new values and select a dimension options 3 To reverse sketch profile direction, select this button 4 Select the edge to attach the wall too 6 Select the With Bend option to automatically create the bend V5R8

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002 Creating Extruded Walls Ability to create an extrusion with a sketch made of lines and arcs of circle, provided there are no tangency discontinuities between the different elements. V5R8 Select the Extrusion icon Select OK to create 1 2 Key in the new values and select a dimension options 3 Select the Sketch 4 Note: the Up to plane or Up to surface capabilities are not available, and you cannot isolate such an extrusion.

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002 Sheet Metal Walls on Existing Parts Upon completion of this lesson, you will be able to identify and apply the new capabilities found within defining walls on existing parts

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002 Creating walls from an existing Part New Walls Recognition Definition dialog box V5R8 2 Wall creation modes: Part body recognition: the whole solid is processed and walls are created wherever possible. Only selected faces: only explicitly selected faces of the solid are processed and the corresponding walls are created. Compulsory walls - are faces from which the walls are to be generated when there might be an ambiguity. For example, if the initial part is a box, you will need to select two opposite inner faces and outer faces on the other two sides of the box, in order to avoid overlapping when generating the walls. Internal profiles recognition mode: As cut out wall: generates walls with inner contours (no cutout feature is generated) One cut out by wall: regardless of how many pockets there are on a face of the solid, only one cutout feature is generated per wall One cut out by profile: for each inner contour on the sketch-based solid, a cutout feature is generated None: whether there are pockets on the solid faces, or not, no cutout feature is created in the resulting Sheet Metal features.

Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002 Recognizing Walls on Parts Changes to Geometry will have to be done from the original creation geometry in the Part Design workbench Select the Recognize icon Select the Unfold icon The Tree is updated with the New Walls Select the Face of the Reference Wall The thickness of the shell and the radius of the Fillet are taken as the default values in the SheetMetal Parameters. 5 3 Select the Definition parameters V5R8
