    Creo Parametric 3.0 Basics - Part 5 - Tutorial Books

    Sheet Metal Design

    You can make sheet metal parts by bending and forming flat sheets of metal. In Creo Parametric, sheet-metal parts can be folded and unfolded enabling you to show them in the flat pattern as well as their bent-up state. There are two ways to design sheet-metal parts in Creo Parametric. Either you can start the sheet-metal part from scratch using sheet-metal features throughout the design process or you can design it as a regular solid part and later convert it to a sheet-metal part. Most commonly, you design sheet-metal parts in Sheetmetal Part environment from the beginning.  In this chapter, you will learn both the approaches.

    The topics covered in this chapter are:

    Planar Walls

    Flat Walls

    Flanges

    Extrusions

    Bends

    Unbend

    Bend back

    Flat Pattern

    Punch and Die Forms

    Conversion to Sheet Metal

    Starting a Sheet Metal part

    To start a new sheet metal part, follow the steps given next.

    Click Home > Data > New on the ribbon.

    On the New dialog, select Type > Part and Subtype > Sheetmetal.

    Type the name of the part, and uncheck the Use template option.

    On the New File Options dialog, select the template and click OK.

    Sheetmetal Model Properties

    Sheetmetal Model Properties define the bend allowance, bend size, relief, and bend orders and other design rules. You can define these properties by using the Model Properties dialog.

    1.  On the File menu, click Prepare > Model Properties.

    2.  On the Model Properties dialog, click the change option next to Thickness. The Material Thickness dialog appears.

    3.  On the Material Thickness dialog, type-in the Material Thickness value and click Regenerate.

    4.  On the Model Properties dialog, click the change option next to Bend Allowance.

    5.  On the Sheetmetal Preferences dialog, type-in the K-factor/Y-factor value in the Factor value box.

    The K Factor is the ratio that represents the location of neutral sheet measured from the inside face with respect to the thickness of the sheet metal part. The Neutral Factor defines the bend allowance of the sheet metal part. The standard formula that calculates the bend allowance is given below.

    A = Bend Allowance

    R = Bend Radius

    K = Neutral Factor = t/T

    T = Material Thickness

    t= Distance from inside face to the neutral sheet

    A = Bend Angle

    4.jpg

    You can also define the bend allowance by using your own bend allowance table. Click the Part Bend Allowances Table button. On the Bend Allowances Tables dialog, select a table from the list and click the double arrow pointing towards right. Click OK to close the dialog.

    6.  Click OK.

    202.jpg Planar Wall

    The planar wall is a basic type of sheet metal feature.

    To create a wall, create a closed sketch on a plane.

    49.jpg

    On the ribbon, click Model > Shapes > Planar.

    Click on the sketch.

    On the Planar dashboard, type-in a value in the Thickness box.

    Click the Change Direction button to reverse the direction of the wall.

    Click OK.

    2.jpg

    5.jpg Flat Wall

    The second feature after creating a planar wall is flat wall. You can create this feature using a linear edge of a sheet metal part.

    On the ribbon, click Model > Shapes > Flat Wall.

    Click an edge of the planar wall feature. The wall preview appears on the selected edge.

    53.jpg

    On the dashboard, select the wall shape from the drop-down available on the left side.

    54.jpg

    On the dashboard, click the Shape tab and set the shape dimensions. Double-click on the dimension values to edit them.

    55.jpg

    Set the method to dimension the radius. The options to dimension radius are given next.

    56.jpg This option creates the bend by specifying the outer bend radius.
