Hi All, I am trying to create a simple 25mm dimple in a sheet metal part 1.6mm thick. I have modified the forming tool appropriately with 25mm radius and a 10mm fillet. I get the error:
"counter sink emboss21. The part's thickness may not be compatible with this form tool. The thickness must be less than the minimum radius of curvature for the form tool."
I am probably missing something simple here but cannot see it. Can any body help please? Thanks in advance.

how deep is the emboss? where is the fillet, at top or bottom? ____ ____ |___|
i have no issue with a 25dia x 3.2deep x R10 (top) x R3 (bottom) dimple on
1.6 thk material.Hi Kenneth, Back to basics....... If I use the default dimple, with no modifications, in SW2007 design library, and use it to create the dimple on 1.6mm thick material, I get the same error. I think that I may be missing something very simple here, but cannot see it. Any ideas? Thanks, BM
What's maybe confusing to us is your use of the word "dimple" and the error is for a "counter sink"?
Anyhow, the reason is.... you've matched the base extruded of 50mm x
50mm (Dia 50 or R25) and it errors out,.. so, you'll have to change the emboss file to >50mm,.. that is, if you change it to Dia 46 (or R23) you'll see that the default radii (R4) will be laying or riding on what seems to be 4 corners (the 50mm x 50mm base extrude)?=2E.
Apolgies for the delay in replying. You are right! Thanks for the solution.....very much appreciated. BM
