Hello
In a welded construction I would like to prevent my removal of material from dissociating the same part in the nomenclature.
Let me explain, I currently have 11 pieces of length 2774mm as below
Once my material removal is done, it separates my two pieces, I go from 11 to 9.
Is it possible to remove material from welded parts without separating them in the BOM?
Thank you in advance for your answers.
Why not do this removal of material in a top assembly or by inserting additional assebling at worst.
sbadenis, I tried your solution but it doesn't solve my problem, it dissociates despite the manipulation...
Hello
I think the sbadenis solution works. You must put your welded construction in an assembly but without the removal of material and carry it out in the assembly without editing the welded construction and not propagate the removal of material to the part.
Hello
You can make your bill of materials that will be automatically created from the Weld Stock configuration by putting your removal function in the delete state
in the Weld Stock config but not in your Machining Stock config.
So you will have all your identical bodies in your nomenclature.
Hello
Indeed it works, however what we are looking for as a solution is that the uncut parts + the partially cut ones are grouped together. (In reality, in production, the parts will have exactly the same flow rates.)
However, those above and below the extruction will be new parts since they will not have the same flow.
SKOCH I'm in 2015, I can't open your file.
I tried to do it on my own but nothing changes in my nomenclature.
Hi all
We have finally managed to open your file via the SolidWorks 2018 Cloud tool
When I opened the part file, I noticed that the welded construction function is not used in the same way as we are.
We have a profile library for our parts, so that we can change profiles more easily
Then we have a sketch to remove the material.
In your file, unless I'm mistaken, it's just a "welded construction" module that is opened and then an extrusion has been made.
Finally, on the drawing, in the nomenclature we can see the 20 parts measuring the same dimension
While we would need to see the 15 pieces measuring 200, the 5 measuring 52.33 and the last 5 measuring 49.84.
I do not know if our need has been understood or if it is we who have not understood your answers. I just wanted to take stock of what we understood on our side.
