sheet metal

[MARCOO]

Good morning, I am beginner pro and , and I am working on a sheeted piece . also with a very simple detail with 2 folds to 90° material sp 1 do not get correct developments. Is there anyone who with holy patience would know how to indicate the initial road to follow?

Hi.

you probably need to set the fold tables with the k factor. give an eye here:http://www.cad3d.it/forum1/threads/18181-calcolo-sviluppo-lamiera-e-fattore-k?highlight=lamiera

I am beginner in ptc, but I know how to bend, and calculate developments, but I do not know how to create and where to insert blessed tables of fold so as to be assigned to the part...... if someone helps me .. thanks in advance

in practice you have to create or edit material files, one for each thickness and type of sheet, adjusting factor k. If you want you can use those I have attached to the other discussion.
to know where you need to put the files, go to tools > options and see how the pro_material_dir parameter is set.

Thank you very much.
I now build the material files for every thickness to me neccessario by copying them from the existing base material that I have already created and will assign the k factor of the other discussion .
Thanks again

excuse but the material table shows how variables the factor "y" not the "k" as attached image.

what is commonly called factor k, ptc calls it factor y, is this last one you have to adjust.
