By utilizing a solidworks sheet metal gauge table we can save time by eliminating the step of looking up sheet metal gauge values based on different materials.
Gauge table sheet metal radius.
In the new feature s propertymanager clear use default radius and select use gauge table.
If you select use default radius you can use one general bend radius value from the sheet metal gauge table for all the downstream features.
You can also use individual gauge tables and bend tables.
20 gauge 0 040 1 01 mm 0 2 5 08mm.
Thickness minimum bend bend radius.
When working with sheet metal a gauge table in solidworks can be used to ensure the correct thickness is chosen for your selected material along with the manufacturing properties as well k factor bend radius etc.
However you can apply bend radius values that are different from the default value in the sheet metal gauge table for features that use specific values except for the base flange.
20 gauge 0 040 1 01 mm.
We can also ensure that an appropriate sheet metal bend radius is utilized in the design process and that this bend radius can be achieved in the manufacturing processes.
Sheet metal gauge bend tables store properties for a designated material.
In the base flange propertymanager under sheet metal gauges select use gauge table and then select a table.
