Hello
Following analysis and calibration of our bending machine I have determined a bend area to apply for a custom material in SolidWorks, however I can't configure it so that the settings apply every time we bend with this material, when I edit the sheet metal function and click on use the sheet metal settings of the body material it tells me no material is applied to the body.
Hello;
Could you send your folding table? or at least a screenshot of the first few cells of your table...
and also a visual of your 3D would be appreciated with a part of the construction tree (with the visible bodies and the general material).
I suspect a multi-body folding... Am I mistaken?
Kind regards.
I didn't expect that...
I admit that I have never used the " sheet metal" tab directly in " material ", I was expecting to see a K-factor or bend loss table in Exel format...

… I would have to find out on my side, for now I'm drying, sorry...
Yes, indeed!!
This tab does not appear on my version (2018 sp4)
It seems that Solidworks is fussy about thickness intervals:

Let's see if it doesn't come from there...
(possibly try to replace your periods with commas, Solidworks and sometimes schizophrenic on decimal separators...)
no, even changing the character it doesn't work, I don't know how to do it, is there a method with template tables or other to put a bend area parameter according to the material selected? I'm on Solidworks2023 SP2
