*A rolled sheet metal (thickness: 1.5, rolling diameter 1000) (In fact, it doesn't matter, this part would be a cylinder, it would amount to the same thing). *Flat-head screws. The sheet metal is pierced with about fifty holes.
I want to use the stress references to place a screw in each hole automatically. Each screw must be concentric to the drill and the flat head of the screw must be tangent to the outside of the bent sheet.
In fact, when inserting one or more screws, I manage to create a concentricity for each hole/screw but I can't get the tangency. There must be a problem in the constraint reference...
If your holes are made on the flat of your sheet, it will generate ellipses during the bending, I advise you to use the sketch point to create the coaxiality constraint.
Totally agree on this point, the tangent constraints are the same... Possibility of making the hole via drilling assistance with 3d sketch on the outer shell of the cylinder then circular drilling stress and stress on the 3d sketch point (from the drilling assistance. And finally repetition and repetition driven as mentioned by @coin37coin and @Maclane .
Oh my, that means a lot to me. I've never used that. On a flat surface I don't have a problem, when I insert screws, they are positioned one after the other on each hole on which I present them. On these screws I put a constraint reference and everything is fine. On the other hand, if I do the same thing on a non-flat surface, nothing works. I retain the idea of repetition driven by a repetition.
