Description
The Sheetmetal design environment now has full multibody support. You can create multiple sheet metal bodies as well as the multiple solid bodies you could create before this enhancement. It is now possible to design multibody parts and then separate the bodies into different parts. Different bodies can have different thickness. Sheet metal parameter handling has changed.
Multibody support for sheet metal bodies includes typical body operations such as Boolean Operations, Split, Trim, Remove, Copy, Pattern, Mirror, and more.
You can create flat states for each body, visualize them together, and create flat instances or simplified representations for downstream usage such as drawing creation.
Benefits
Increase user productivity and design efficiency.
Use of multibody design in sheet metal parts and assemblies allows you to do the following:
• Easily and reliably design a single part that contains repetitive or mirrored geometric shapes.
• Design in context by applying the master model methodology for sheet metal designs.
