Miter Cuts on Straight Elements - [Solidworks]

3D Design Volume Model
1

Hi all

I am once again on my analyses of the Solidworks software in order to implement it or not in our design office.

Let's imagine that I have flat boiler profiles to assemble (example: A profile of 25mm width, thickness 5mm and length to be defined)

Is it possible in Solidworks to do the following cases using the mechanically welded structure module?

1 : Joining of 2 profiles with "straight" cut

2: Joining of 2 profiles with straight cut, one narrower than the other

3: Joining of 2 profiles with angled cutting

4 : Junction of 2 porofilaments with bias cut + connecting chamfer

There is also the possibility that there is play between the profiles to be assembled.

Thank you!

Hello

For me, the four cases are doable with more or less automatism.

Hello

As indicated by @coyote, it's quite simple to do on SW, but not with the welded construction module! More with library functions.

I think SW is quite capable of doing this kind of thing

look at this tutorial among others as an example

In pictures with an idea of the design tree

 

Edit: all in welded mechanics! Without a bib of function no need.

Thank you all!

@Coyote, can you briefly explain your procedure?

Hello

What is unclear about the design tree?

@coyote, it's not the fastest solution, is it? (I'm not denigrating, it's an exchange of ideas;) )

In welded construction, 1 sketch, 1 plan, and 2 adjustments are required. It is also easy to remove material from one body and then add it to the other! And these are simple functions that allow you to limit the length of the construction shaft. Don't you think so?

:)

Hello

@Coyote

Well, not knowing the Solidworks software yet,

If I interpret the tree:

- 5 mechanically welded elements have been created

- Then, thanks to a sketch, 2 plans were created

- 2 elements have been extended to the

- 2 other elements have been cut from the plan

- A chamfer has been added

Is this correct? 

I am thinking of also turning to the library functions as you mentioned in order to make these tasks easier for future users.

@Benoit.LF,

Thanks for the part but I don't own Solidworks yet at the moment . . . : /

Hello

@Aurélilen: You have understood the building tree perfectly.

@Benoit.LF: I have 10 functions, 2 sketches and 2 plans, you have 9 functions and 5 sketches so I don't see what is simpler, especially since with my functions I can set automatic welding as required by @Aurélien.
