Bending Plate as Sheet Metal
Bending Plate as Sheet Metal
(OP)
I have a piece of square 1/4" steel plate that gets drilled, chamfered and bent on a press brake. I created the part as a sheet metal feature so that I could create a bend table and specify all the bend parameters. The bend lines go through some of the chamfered edges. Unfortunately, the bend/flatten features require a constant part thickness and yield errors if a chamfer is present.
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this problem? Or, any ideas of another method to create the part? I need to be able to have bent & flat configurations with all typical bend parameters specified.
Thanks in advance for all your help!

1. Insert "unfold"
2. Insert "extruded-cut" and sketch the chamfer normal to
the flat
3. Insert "fold"
