Solidworks Sheet Metal and Weldments 4

Question 1

Which SolidWorks tool converts a solid body into a sheet metal part by selecting one face as the fixed face?

Accepted Answer

Convert to Sheet Metal

Answer

Convert to Sheet Metal allows you to select an existing solid body and designate a fixed face to apply sheet metal parameters and bend lines.

Question 2

In SolidWorks Weldments, what does the 'Trim/Extend' feature do?

Accepted Answer

Cuts or extends structural members to fit at intersections

Answer

Trim/Extend modifies the ends of structural members so they meet cleanly at joints without overlapping or leaving gaps.

Question 3

What property of sheet metal controls the minimum inside radius applied to all bends in the part?

Accepted Answer

Default Bend Radius

Answer

Default Bend Radius sets the minimum inside radius for bends and can be overridden on individual bend features.

Question 4

When creating a weldment structural member along a 3D sketch path with multiple segments, what option keeps all segments as one continuous structural member body?

Accepted Answer

Merge arc segment bodies

Answer

The 'Merge arc segment bodies' option (or merge bodies option for colinear/tangent segments) combines connected segments into a single body rather than separate bodies.

Question 5

Which sheet metal feature creates a partial cut across the bend zone to allow the part to fold at a specific location without a full relief?

Accepted Answer

Sketched Bend

Answer

Sketched Bend adds a bend line directly on a flat face of the sheet metal part, creating a bend without a flanged feature.
