Sheet metal material table. And relief depth
Sheet metal material table. And relief depth
(OP)
Hello,
I'm playing with and testing the Sheet Metal Material Table. And i have some questions about it.
Till now we select the material thickness in Sheet Metal Preferences. As default we always use a bend radius, relief depth and relief width the same as the material thicknes.
As k-factor we use 0,5 till 3mm thickness, and above 3mm we use k-factor 0.35.
1- I have changed the Sheet Metal Material Table and the values Material Thickness, Bend Radius and K-Factor are working fine with the Sheet Metal Material Table.
But is it possible that also the values Relief Depth and Relief Width be filled in automatically?
2- The Sheet Metal Material Table consists of 6 parts.
The first 3 i understand, but the 4th (secondary tables), 5th (formulas) and the 6th (standard values)i don't. But i think we don't need them.
We don't use joggle's and aerospace things, so can i totaly remove those parts from the Sheet Metal Material Table?
3- Is it possible to link the material set in Tools > Meterials to the material thicknes in Preferences > Sheet Metal Preferences so we don't have to set both.
I hope someone as a answer for me.
Thanks.

RE: Sheet metal material table. And relief depth
The best and easiest way would be that the bend radius and K-factor would react when you fill in the thicknes when starting the Base-Tab in sheet metal.

different seed parts for the thickness you want to use, in the different seed parts you use differnt standard thickness and k values...
RE: Sheet metal material table. And relief depth
But having a different tempate for every plate-thickness is not a solution we like.
Maybe I found a other solution. Adding a formula at the relief depth and width which is directing to the sheet metal thickness. So far this works at part-level.
Now i want to change the tamplate but i don't have the rights on those files at this moment, and the administrator is on holyday, so will be continued.
But if enyone else has a other/better solution, please tell me.
