Hello everyone,
Let me introduce myself.
My name is Sylvain, I am 28 years old, I am a boilermaker welder by trade.
Currently I am a work-study student in BTS CRCI (Boilermaking).
I live in the Paris region, in the 93.
Regarding my question. I work under Inventor 2016.
Below we have 3 images.
Figure 1 : I want to make edge 1 coincide with edge 2 by bending edge 3 and edge 4. Would there be a way to make edges 1 and 2 coincide directly without knowing the bending angle for edge 3 and 4? It would be easier because I have several parts to bend in this kind of configuration. This could save me from looking for angles.
Figure 2: I tried to fold the small portion of the fold, but the problem is that the software projects the circled fold in a dotted line over the entire surface of the part. How do you delimit the length of the fold in Figure 2 (see zoom), to avoid ending up in the case of Figure 3?
Please?
Looking forward to your feedback and thanking you in advance.
Yours truly,
Sylvain
Good evening Sylvain,
For your question, you can fold from a sketch. Make a stroke that isn't the full size of your piece and indicate that you want to bend with this sketch.
Another solution, if I remember correctly, once your fold is made, even if it is wrong and does not suit you you can modify it by scrolling down the functions of Silva the creation tree of your piece. You should come across functions with the name "fold" and you can edit the sketch of your fold. I didn't make it up in front of me but tomorrow I'll try to take screenshots for you if you can't do it by then. For your question n'1 I don't really know how to solve this problem.... I'm going to look on my side. Because I usually draw the folded piece and then unfold it...
Good night.
Carolina
Hello Caroline, Thank you for your feedback.
I proceeded to a sketch fold as you mention in your answer. (see Figure 2)
Nevertheless, this function makes a pleat along the entire length.
Hello
From memory, the 2016 version cannot support this partial fold. The problem can be worked around by adding the problematic folded part only after creating the fold.
