You can follow step 1 and step 2 and result is shown in figure below.

How to use sheet metal tool in solidworks.

How to use the bridge lance sheet metal tool in solidworks. Click offset entities and click l sketch. Adding sheet metal gussets. Use the sheet metal gusset propertymanager to create sheet metal gussets with specific indents across bends.

Step 6 to bend the sheet metal part sketch lines on the part as shown in the picture. Dimension sketch with smart dimension as 1in x 1in. Click under sheet metal tab. Click on the sheet metal tab select base flange tab and give 1 mm to the sheet metal parameters.

In this tutorials you will learn how to utilize sheetmetal tool such insert bend and flaten. How to use the bridge lance sheet metal tool in solidworks. The insertion point green dot is at the geometric center of the stopping face. Use line sketch l shape.

To begin we first want to turn on the sheet metal tab on the commandmanager. Click the insertion point tab. Let s establish the insertion point. Click front plane and click on sketch.

The depth of a tab feature is automatically set to the thickness of the sheet metal part. Solidworks 3d allows you to quickly create sheet metal part designs using a simple design process saving you time and development costs thanks to specific sheet metal features. We can use these features to create sheet metal designs with several different methods. Then you can go to command manager or insert menu and select edge flange from sheetmetal side drop down menu.

Sheet metal propertymanagers help you create and modify sheet metal parts. For showing solidworks edge flange application we are going to create new base flange sheet metal part. The direction of the depth automatically coincides with the sheet metal part to prevent a disjoint body. You can create sheet metal gussets with specific indents that go across bends.

Insert bends allows you to convert a shelled part to a sheet metal part. We will focus on the flange method where a sheet metal part is created in the formed state using specialized sheet metal features. Select the top face for the stopping face and the separated face as the face to remove.
