Hello
In Solidworks 2018, I'm looking to check a symmetry in a multibody part.
Once the body and the symmetry plane have been selected, I start the analysis.
Solidworks doesn't give me any results.
Do you have a lead?
Kind regards
Thierry
After testing, if he doesn't say anything after the analysis, it's because the part is symmetrical!
Try adding a hole on one side and you'll see the difference.
Hello
What happens when you click on "Verify"?
Normally you have 3 kinds of red, green or yellow color after analysis.
If all goes well, your room should be green. (for 100% symmetrical)
If you have yellow or red, it means that this part is not symmetrical.
Just a question about your design choice, why did you do it in surface?
Small visual on a simple piece for our friends who don't know this function (which I didn't know before but shhhh, but thank you for letting us discover it;) )
Hello
Thank you for your quick response.
Indeed, by adding a hole on one side, it tells me that 2 sides are no longer symmetrical.
Thank you.
When I click on "Check", a progress progresses and then nothing.
Solidwroks doesn't display anything. I also don't have a particular color, neither green, nor yellow, nor red. it remains in its original color.
The part is not made of surface, it is made of sheet metal.
We may not see well because by selecting the solidworks body changes it to pink but there is a volume
But yet when you did the test with an extra piercing it indicated you with a different color, right?
Do you have a screen print with this test drill?
As for the design, you probably have to make your part in surface and then convert to sheet metal then.
To come back to this symmetry function, I just tested with a surface, the "Check the sym" button is grayed out anyway.
Have a good day to you
Hello
In SW2018 also I have just done the test with a part that is perfectly symmetrical (because the last function of the shaft is a symmetry), and after analysis SW shows no result. On the other hand, here I add a difference in symmetry to the part, the analysis does show a difference.
Maybe it's a bug?
The design of the sheet metal part actually started with the surface.
So, I wanted to make a screen print but the solidworks doesn't want to select the volume body at all.
I think it bugs a bit, we should restart solidworks.
