in order to make the normal cut from the bent (called in this case) the two curvatures even if of different radius must be concentric. in practice that piece of sheet metal must be a "branch" of rectum cone. and if you think about it is right because it is the only way to really get normal in all the infinite points of thickness.
I use little loft sheet just because it often gives me problems with later cuts. I usually prefer to build with the surfaces already correctly squared (folded) the detail and then trim it.
in your case it does not make you normal cut probably because both areas have no material behind. I did some evidence on a sheet loft, straight piece with different curve. the rectangular window makes me like normal cut, while the upper bevels do not and I have to do them as passing cut.
I imagined it! clearly they are not equal curves nor with the usual radiation....I managed to realize them but with the cut as if it was a solid milled and not normal to the profile.
Now I also try the window on my example then I tell you...the thing is a little curious in some ways.... !
Right... milled on the floor where you put yourself and the sheet instead of having the normal hair at the curvature become a knife because it enters a fixed plane... even to me where by mistake it does so, while the window is ok.
In this case it makes me the normal cut does it but look how it combines the sheet!
Saddled makes some shark teeth. Of course I'm in charge. I always said that the inventor sheet module will never beat him swx. :biggrin:
great mecc.. Maybe that's better!
the round hole is ok and also the bevel, but still that toothed crap:tongue:
but take away another doubt, please: is it orthodox to use the bevel that is under "functions" in the sheet metal parts without creating mess? or is it better to use only spigolo treatment that is under "lamiera"?
you can use it, just look how the final processing results. Let's say it's a swx mental saw. Why do two commands where often in the sheets does not work the treatment of edge?
sure that with the last file I posted with the bevels everything works but if you increase the bevel, example 120x20mm or even less, it works goes wrong.. .
I answer to all readers of this topic that is not a problem of solidworks but parasolid.
I always modeled years ago with inventor quietly what with swx you can do now. has always had the very developed sheet metal tool. swx has late and now we are finally there....with some kiss here and there but we are. It's like the concept of multilamiera ie multibody sheet... He wasn't there before. but it is so difficult to understand that if we do the parts and we put them in a set we do not manage anything if we cannot put the sheets in correlation? And yet with inventor, even if working together, it was not so difficult to exploit the lines and curves of the other plates. the treatment of edges and other processes that are now in swx were present 2 or 3 years before inv.
What makes me look like you write caxxate.
You said nothing to justify what you write.
in fact I have the doubt and I said to try to see the differences. since some edges cannot be treated by the advanced command of the plates to make a bevel. the loft model placed is not possible to smooth it on the curved side with the treatment of edges straight sides at 90° si. the piece calandrato (variable ray) has its problems, such as the serrated cutting of parasolid technology.
now I am sure, translated loses geometric texture the bevel made with the bevel of solids.
