Description |
|
|
Creates a base (initial) flange of a sheet metal part from a closed planar profile. |
||
|
|
Creates a sheet metal part by extruding a polyline in the direction of the normal of the curve plane. Thickness is assigned with respect to the external dimensions of the polyline. |
||
|
|
Creates sheet metal part with lofted bends and flanges from two non-coplanar curves. |
||
|
|
Automatically recognizes flanges, bends and lofted bends in a 3D solid. |
||
|
|
|
Creates one or more flanges on a sheet metal part by pulling one or more edges of an existing flange. |
|
|
|
Changes the reference side for selected flanges with an optional shift of the flange geometry by thickness. |
||
|
|
Inserts form features. |
||
|
|
Creates an associative rib form feature on a flange face from a planar 2D curve. |
||
 |
Creates form feature from given set of faces. |
||
 |
SmForm | Explodes form feature in flanges and bends if possible. | |
|
|
Replaces form features (including recognized ones) in sheet metal parts with form features from a built-in or user library. |
||
|
|
|
Converts hard edges (sharp edges between flange faces) and junctions into bends. |
|
|
|
Converts bends to lofted bends |
||
|
|
Bends an existing flange along a line, obeying k-factor for given bend radius. |
||
|
|
|
Converts hard edges into junctions. |
|
|
|
Changes a symmetrical junction feature to one with overlapping faces. |
||
|
|
Closes gaps between two arbitrarily oriented flanges. |
||
|
|
|
Makes proper corner and bend reliefs. Corner reliefs are built on corners which have three or more adjacent flanges. Bend reliefs are built on the start and end of a flange edge. |
|
|
|
Converts a corner relief to a circular relief. |
||
|
|
Converts corner reliefs to a rectangular relief. |
||
|
|
Converts corner reliefs to a VType relief. |
||
|
|
Converts corner reliefs to a Smooth relief. |
||
|
|
Converts corner reliefs to a Round relief. |
||
|
|
Converts corner reliefs to a Rip relief. |
||
|
|
|
Splits a flange along a line drawn on its face. |
|
|
|
Splits a flange by a single vertex in the corner. |
||
|
|
Splits thickness faces of a sheet metal part by imprinted edges, according to adjacent flanges and bends. |
||
|
|
Removes sheet metal data from the selected faces or entities. |
||
|
|
Removes a bend or a junction by restoring a hard edge between two flanges; removes a flange with all the bends adjacent to it. The adjacent flanges are extended up to a junction configuration with the flange being deleted. Removes miter by restoring geometry being cut by the feature. |
||
|
|
Rotates a flange. |
||
|
|
SmSelect Same Form Features |
Selects all identical form features in the sheet metal model |
|
|
|
SmSelect Hard Edges |
Selects all hard edges on sheet metal parts. |
|
|
|
Fixes problems specific to Sheet Metal parts, both global and local workflows are supported. Optionally heals lofted bend features: merges adjacent bends and provides tangential connection with flanges. |
||
|
|
Creates a consist set of 3D constraints for the selected sheet metal part. |
||
|
|
|
Unfolds the sheet metal body. |
|
|
|
Exports a sheet metal solid to the .osm (Open Sheet Metal) file format. |
||
|
|
Exports the unfolded representation of a sheet metal body as a 2D profile in .dxf / .dwg file format. |
||
|
|
Performs a batch export of assembly components to unfolding, creating a .dxf per each 3D solid recognized as sheet metal part. |
||
|
|
Toggles the FEATURECOLORS system variable. |
