Solidworks Sheet Metal Hole in Fold

3D Design Volume Model
1

Hi all

 

I'm looking to model a part in SW 2014 with a little particularity. It is a rectangular sheet metal, with a hole.

 

This sheet is 50mm x 50mm flat, thickness 2, and has a 140° bend in the middle.

It has a hole of 8mm diam, made flat before folding, and whose center falls in the middle of the flat piece, i.e. right in the middle of the fold.

 

Do you know how to draw this?

 

With the sheet metal module, I can make holes in flat surfaces, but not on a fold.

 

Thank you in advance!!

Here are 2 small images to help understand:

 

1) The finished piece without the hole (which I can't make)

2) The flat workpiece with the hole well positioned before bending

You have to create the hole before unfolding

Hello 

Can't you use the split or extruded material removal function to make the hole?

I would have proposed solution 3 (with the unfolded-folded function) but anyone has a way to have a temporary axis in the finished part AND in the unfolded part?

I didn't open all the rooms of my teammates. So the answer may already be in it.

 

But you have to make your square piece, the drilling in it.

Then you sketch a straight line through the middle of your part (your fold), select the "sketched fold" function in the sheet metal module and that's it

Does it work!! Thank you all!!!

 

What seemed to me the simplest:

 

Make the sheet metal piece with the fold in the base sketch, unfold it, make the hole, fold it over:)
