Sheetmetal Hem 0 radius ??
(OP)
In sheetmetal Is there a way to get a zero rad. Hem? I keep on getting a .002 rad even when I select the closed option and I cant find what controls this.
thanks Tom..
thanks Tom..

You cannot actually have zero because it would effectively merge with the main body, and you cannot have varying thickness in SW Sheet Metal parts.

Just thought you might be interested to know that I tried this in Solid Edge V15 and it produces a min gap of 0.0001575".
If you round this dimension to the 4th decimal it's 0.0002"
I'd suggest that the limitation is to do with what tolerance the systems can work to before they consider the faces to be coincident.
It's also possible that this is a limitation of Parasolid rather than SW or SE.
Producing the hem is simple in SE - it uses what they call a 'Contour Flange'. This lets you produce any shape of flange along all or part of an existing edge. All you do is draw a line representing the folded part, back along the face that you are folding down on to.

.004" sheet!! that's for wrapping sandwiches in isn't it??

I tried to create a zero hem from a sketch and got the following alert: " The fillet could not be added because the specified radius would eliminate one of the elements".

But as I stated in an earlier reply, I am able to model this with sheetmetal by drawing a profile of the inside of the hem as a sketch with a .0001 rad and then using Base Flange to extrude it. It then unfolds as it should. Using the Hem tool may be more politically correct, but in this case I was able to work around it.
Thanks, Tom...
