Overview this comprehensive suite of creo sheet metal design tools helps users create features such as walls bends punches notches forms and relief features.
Creo sheet metal flat pattern.
Use k factor calculator to calculate k factor values.
Enter flange length internal radius and thickness values.
And k factor value can be determined by calculating the position of neutral axis or bend allowance.
As the majority of our sheet metal parts are used in larger assemblies this method would not resolve the issue we are having.
The flat pattern feature is persistent about being the last feature in a model tree.
The result is parametric fully associative solid models of sheet metal parts and assemblies.
There is a way around this using simplified reps.
When you display combined views you can toggle between views and see how the flat piece is affected by modifications to the master representation.
The master representation can remain in the formed bent state.
Enter k factor values.
Here are the steps to be followed to calculate sheet metal flat length.
Calculation of neutral axis position is a tough task.
Value of bend deduction and flat pattern are shown in result section.
As the default view is to have all features included it would mean that when you add a sheet metal part to an assembly it will be the flat pattern.
Using a variety of y and k factor bend allowance calculations designers can create flat patterns of the designs.
To sum up sheet metal flat pattern can be calculated using the k factor.
Keep default values in calculator as zero.
Flat pattern representations allow you to create a simplified representation of a sheet metal part in the flatten fully unbent state.
