Aerated concrete cutting

3D Design Volume Model
1

Hello

I'd like to know if there's a function in solidwroks or a quick method to figure out what's the best way to gain material.

Let me explain, I have several lengths of 6m in aerated concrete in which I have to cut several pieces of different sizes.

On each length there will be waste, but is there  a function to see what would be the best cut in order to have the least possible loss.

Thank you in advance.

Hello

What you're looking for is a bar setting software.

I don't think there is a module in SolidWorks that does this task.

Here is an excel file that allows you to carry out this task.

Good luck.

on SW it doesn't exist

There is the Cutting Optimization tool in the tools developed by Axemble.

The market leader:

 

Opticut by Boole&Partners

 

Optimization of panel and member throughput

For me, it's one of the best and not too expensive.

500 euros of memory for the full pro version.

 

If you're proficient in VBA, you can even link to Solidworks.

Hello

Otherwise, here are the free solutions available:

If you have SolidWorks premium, it's possible with the design study which allows many optimizations, including the volume:

Otherwise, in the standard or pro version, you can create different configurations and create sensors that will warn of the volume value by activating each of the configurations one after the other:

Or even create a volume or mass column in a part family, and we'll see the values for all the configurations at a glance:

Reminders about part families (but you just have to insert a part family, then edit it and add the volume or mass column):
