Your tap is tangential to your collector it seems. That's certainly what's bothering us. Try to test to no longer be tangeant but 5mm from the edge for example.
If it works with offset, put your tangeant tap back on and try to make the cut in the manifold before inserting the sheet metal functions.
There you go, the problem is that your 2 tubes are not of the same diameter, and that one is tangent to the other.
As Benois says, try without being tangent
So by reassembling it, it works. But how do you do it then?
I repeat my last post: "If it works with the offset, put your tangeant tap back on and try to make the cut in the manifold before inserting the sheet metal functions."
You can also try to cunning by shifting your stitching only by a few 1/10 of a mm to fool SW.
I tried to go up a little but it didn't work.
What do you mean by "cutting in the manifold before inserting sheet metal functions"?
I found my play very well done and comprehensible....
I was proud of myself yesterday =) lol
That's precisely the problem I was trying to explain to you.
Uncheck the normal material removal box, and you'll see that your deoucpe will be perfect!
As you told me, you have a 6-axis cutting machine, so no more problem with an "abnormal" removal of material.
=)
Enclosed is the modified piece!
Now, with the last piece I posted, is it good?
in my opinion, that's exactly what you want =)
yes yes that's right but I can't reproduce the master^^
When I remove material, I select the face and he does both sides....
I hadn't seen you took the inner diameter while I took the outer diameter. But for the cuts it seems to me that I need in relation to the outer diameter for the welds.
Indeed, and when I put the notch on the outside, the second tube no longer unfolds.
Unless you take away through everything, but that's not the goal...
Otherwise, if you add a 1 degree draft on the last removal of material it works
Here's your piece
Indeed it works but hey... It's hacking and then sending it to manufacturing..... If there is no other solution, I will make my sheet metal parts on TopSolid which manages sheet metal much better.
Solidworks is effective for single parts, or mechanically welded assemblies.
On the other hand, for bent sheet metal assemblies, especially in this case where the sheet is rolled.
As long as it's still 3-axis cutting, there's no problem, but as soon as you push the thing a little, it causes this kind of problems....
We courage you, and sorry for not being able to solve your problem.
Have a good day to you!

there are still some problems to solve i am working on it not easy

@gt22
The problem is not axial tapping but an almost tangential tapping. Do you want a print-screen?
Hi @ Lucas
the collection of answers but it's not yet solved for my part ;-(
I've been working on it for 2 days and it's not there yet
I'm not far from the truth but yes there is a but
it doesn't stick as I would like it to
it's not very clear to my little brain
@+ ;-)
