Finding the properties of a part in a multibody

3D Design Volume Model
1

Hello

When I do multi-body work in sheet metal or welded construction, I take care to complete the personalized properties of each part that makes up the multibody (plan number, material, bending radius, ve, etc.).

When I save the bodies I also set save the properties, but when I open the room I end up with the characteristics of the multi body and not the room.

Why and how to fix it

Thank you for your enlightenment

Good evening

 

I just did the test, I made a simple angle iron, and I added a basic folded function to stick another angle to it.

 

I filled in the properties of the parts via the custom property form.

I saved the bodies by checking the box and doing the drawing, the properties were inserted normally... (See image)

Hi Bart,

I must miss something, I'm going to do it again

Where do you fill in the properties?

 

Do the parts have a different thickness, bending v, or other?

 

I'll try with a welded construction to see.

When recording, does it look like this?

Your room is in volume.

 

As a result, more properties of welded parts

Can you send your multibody?

I don't have the same option as you Bart in save weird bodies

By fiddling a little, I managed to get around the problem.

 

And I think I know why Solidworks is creating this little bug.

 

Let me explain:

 

When I saved the bodies of your multibody, Solidworks has saved the bodies in "Stock".

The only way I found was to convert this part to sheet metal afterwards to recover all the associated properties.

But I don't understand why Solidworks doesn't register your sheet metal bodies directly.

 

So I looked at your design. I noticed that you use a lot of sheet metal conversion. So I guess this accumulation of sheet metal conversions is bugging Soldiworks at this level.

 

Conclusion: Favor the design directly with the sheet metal module, instead of going through a boss or other.

 

Try redoing your part with only multibody sheet metal and try to register the bodies again.

 

Good luck! =)

Thank you Bart,

When I create the parts I draw my sketch and then I go through the folded base sheet.

I don't know how to do otherwise, do you have another solution?

Thank you for your advice

Quick question, why do you go through this "register bodies" mode?

 

Would it be to create drawings piece by piece with their associated properties?

 

If that's the case, you'd better do your drawing with your multibody and select the bodies you want after inserting the views.

 

Then all you have to do is add a nomenclature, and you're done!

In the "U length 3000" you went through an extruded boss instead of going directly through a sheet metal base.

 

I say that I think that is what creates a conflict.

I'm going to modify my design to see if I can find the properties

Then I register the bodies because I use the parts for other customers who have the same filters but with different dimensions depending on what they have to filter, cement, dust, fumes, etc

thank you again, I'm doing a test to see if it works

In any case, even by converting the so-called "stock" part I don't get the same result as you, I'm really bad

But no, you shouldn't say that!

 

Once you understand the logic of Solidworks, everything rolls ;)

 

I find the property system you have set up to be really ingenious and comprehensive! Which proves that you are not "bad"^^

 

I admit that at first, it's not easy, but you just have to go step by step, and in the right order =)

 

In short:

 

Make your first U of 3000 by going directly through a base plate, insert the other parts in the same way.

Make the holes and others, then register your bodies after filling in the different properties.

Logically, you would have access to the box that we see on my screen and everything will go back to normal. =)

 

Good luck!

 

Edit: And don't hesitate to come back, I don't have the infused science, other members could also help you;)

Thank you bart, it's only been two months that I've had this little gem in my hands, and there's so much to integrate,

I've been working on it for 3 years, and I'm still  learning ;)

 

It took me 8-10 months to master and set up the software^ to be able to do exactly what I wanted, knowing that I had to produce at the same time^^
