The CATIA V5-6R2015: Sheet Metal Design student guide enables students to create features that are specific to the sheet metal modeling process. Students 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 student guide focuses on the Generative Sheet Metal Design workbench.
Topics Covered 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 Converting a solid part to sheet metal Output to DXF and drawing Prerequisites CATIA V5-6 R2015: Introduction to Modeling
