I am working on Solidworks 2014 on the realization of a sheet metal part. I managed to design it according to my needs but I noticed anomalies when unfolding: Some of my folds have "unzipped" and suddenly I have some kind of rods of materials that don't correspond to anything real and that bother me a lot for the drawing.
These anomalies appear with a removal of material on two parts of my sheet created with the swept bent sheet function.
Would anyone know how to get around or fix this problem? Thank you.
in your function "Kidnapping. mat.-Extru.15" you must check the box normal material removal and there your anomalies will disappear when unfolded see PJ
Thank you ac cobra 427! I have applied your method by checking normal material removal on my three material removal functions (15, 8 and 16) but the anomalies are still present. Could this be due to my version of solidworks? Indeed, I'm still on the 2014 version.
Yes that's possible, the only thing you can still do is when you're in the unfolded it's to do a material removal to correct this bug that I also had on some parts like in one of my tutorials.
Thank you ac cobra I corrected it manually. But then I'm thinking about switching to a higher version of Solidworks.
@Obi-Wan: I'll see what our subcontractor tells me. I have the same piece made in volume but if I could do without a mold it would suit me. I don't have a lot of means available for this project so the sheet metal work would allow me to save money.
