SM metal chalenge
(OP)
Hi All,
I've been struggeling with the part attached tho this thread. This part is supposed te be made out of one sheet (4mm) with 8 bends.
This part is made out of a higher level dummy part which is made out of surfaces. (this is why it's a linked surface body)
At first I thouhgt to make a sheet metal part out of this surface body using the "sheet metal from solid" command. This gave no joy.
Second I tried to use thicken body and rip the edges. In this case the " rip edges" command fails. It leaves a weird pont (please see the file and the pic below).
When using "convert to sheet metal" the function works but gives errors.
Last i did was use the "rib edge command" combined with the "sheet metal from solid" command. This gave a reasonable result.
So my question is: How would you do this.......?

I would recommend raising a ticket with GTAC. The Edge Rip is not clearing the entire edge 'as you say' and it should.
Attached is a part you can use (although a couple of extra steps)

If they have to change the name of the fucntion for this reason I won't make a fuss.... :)
