Totally new to the solidworks software, I started to create a bent sheet metal staircase, with the lower landing in quarter turn divided into 2 steps. And I have a problem with this one.
I first wanted to create the quarter turn and "cut" it in 2 but I didn't succeed (I tried with the cut, split as specified on the software tutorial but impossible)
I then wanted to start with the first part but impossible to convert it into a folded sheet metal... I try to look on the different tutorials but without success. If you have a solution to save me, I'm all for it.
You have great specialists in this kind of construction and in addition to being maouss in sheet metal work and I am sure that you will have effective help quickly.
If I understand correctly, it is the first two steps at 45° that concern you.
If you use splitting, you must place this function before making your folds on the edges because otherwise the unfolded will not be able to be done (the edges will be behaved).
I was looking at the bent sheet metal stair treads where each edge is made only with two small folds supposed to reinforce each recessed step.
From the point of view of the resistance of the materials, I am a little surprised. I don't see how a step made in this way could withstand 90 kg in point load at the end, especially in dumping.
If you wish , give me the dimensions of a step and especially the thickness of the sheet metal you are using. I'll give you a resistance simulation (only if you haven't already done the math).
