Thanks Mike, thanks Felix!
Finally I managed to solve it, but had to do it the brute force way. After creating the cylinder I made tiny sections of the cylinder flat (sections where I needed the flanges). These flat sections were OK to create base flange-tab features.
The final product model...
I wasn't precise enough. Converting to sheet metal is OK, as making cuts works well too.
My problems come when I try to make flanges onto curved surfaces (the two ends of the rectangular cuts).
At first I tried to cut the contours of the flanges in the rolled state of the sheet. Than I wanted...
I try to convert to sheet metal something similar to the attached picture, but had no luck with it yet.
I have no idea about what method shall I use. I'd say something around "sketched bend" might do the trick, but playing with the parameters did not give any solution. I start to wonder if it is...
We have no problem with Powerpoint, runs like a charm via remote management. But as Mike pointed out, 3D CAD use requires computing power. I'll test it between two workstations. I think the solution will be installing a decent 3D card to the machine from witch I try to manage the CAD workstation.
Does anyone have experience with the use of VNC or similar remote management software for accessing 3D CAD workstations?
My problem is that the client machine (the manager) has an integrated video card, and the host machine (3D workstation) has a Quadro card. The 3D models' rotation is so slow...
I analyse a machine frame in Cosmos. Smaller parts are welded onto the main frame in the frame assy. I'd like to analyse the main beam as a part.
The forces are transfered through welds, and if I open the main beam as a standalone part, the areas where the forces work are obviously not visible...
Please advice a software to cut large drawing files into smaller parts, what I can print on a smaller device and stick them together later to get the original sized drawing.
I have a 2000x300mm dwg to print, but the max size I can print is A1, no paper roll is attached to my plotter.
I know, it...
The thread is over hole wizard size.
I'd rather try to fix the drawing itself, keeping the models intact.
I tried to modify the drawing view, but the hatch seems to be unified, no possibility to erase just a part of it.
