Bend Radius Incorrectly Generating at Zero
Bend Radius Incorrectly Generating at Zero
(OP)
Hi all,
I have a sheet metal part that is doing something a bit strange.
The part is a symmetrical thin feature, it is 2mm thick and has an inside bend radius of 2mm. However one of the bends on one side is generating at zero radius inside.
If I try changing the thin feature to the other side of the line, a different bend fails.
I have tried ditching the model and completely starting again with a new part, but it fails on the very same bends.
Even by manually changing the bend radius of that one bend, the flat pattern still fails.
Maybe I’m not spotting something, but it seems like a bug to me. Has anyone else seen anything like this? I did a search and didn’t see anything.
Thanks

If anyone out there is running an earlier version of SolidWorks and has a spare few minutes, could a kind person try sketching up the attached image and making it a thin sheet metal feature?
p.s. sorry I didn't make it clear the model with the issue is attached to the first post.

No Errors.
RE: Bend Radius Incorrectly Generating at Zero
I also opened the original file, entered the Edit Sketch mode, did a Ctrl Q to force rebuild and exit the Edit Sketch mode and again, no problem encountered.

There doesn't seem to be any mention of this fix in the SPR list I downloaded before my subscription expired.
RE: Bend Radius Incorrectly Generating at Zero
I've tried deleting the features (leaving the sketch) and creating a new base flange, but it still has one of the bends (BaseBend2) at zero bend radius.
Is anyone out there running 2015sp2.1 having the same problem?
If there's someone out there with a later service pack, can they try it?

I used SW 2015 SP3
