Hello All,


I am using SHEETMETAL and trying to input a form feature using a die. It works at first but when I add a rib and split the seed area, the form doesn't recongize it and the operation fails.


Attach is the file with the split seeded area.


How can I tell Pro-e to recognize the die and create the form?


Thanks, tony

Hi Tony,


I believe the die wouldn't work for you due to the inside rads of the rib being too small. You ghad set them at 0.2mm. If this was less than the thickness of the sheet metal part, the die wont put a form into the part.


I have modified the die and formed it as a punch into the metal part which I have set at 0.5mm. It works as a die too. If you want, send me an e-mail to [email protected] and I'll send the file to you.


Hope this helps


Michael
