Sheet Metal - Gusset Creation Using Indent - TIP

Jan 31, 2005 1 Replies

Hi Folks,



For anyone interested there is a sample model posted that will show how to use the SW-2005 "indent" feature to make a gusset in a sheet metal part.



Gusset creation has long been a thorn-in-the-side process (fussing with finickey form tools, cut & fill methods & so-on), but it looks like the indent will be a really nice tool for making these.

(By the way - I think that solidworks really needs a gusset feature, but until that comes around, we have to monkey with things like this.)



thanks to mlombard for, form across bends
