Building a Sheet Solid |
Scroll |
The sheet body is built using the Sheet body 
command.
Step-by-step instructions
1.Specify the Operation Result, by clicking the necessary button in the group Result on the Parameter Panel:
Merging,
New solid.
2.Set a sketch for a sheet solid:
•If the model contains a sketch, you can use the whole sketch or its part — an area obtained by intersection of the sketch contours or limited by one of them.
•To select a sketch specify one of its objects in the graphic area of the model or specify the sketch itself in the Design Tree.
•To select an area in a sketch, click inside that area.
•If there is no sketch, you can build one by clicking the Create sketch 
button to the right of the Sketch field. Will start sketch placement process, and then the system will switch to the Sketch mode for creating geometry. Perform the steps necessary to build and complete the sketch mode. The created sketch will be automatically selected.
After selecting a sketch a sheet solid phantom appears in the graphics area.
The name of the selected sketch is displayed in the Sketch field. When you select a sketch area, the word Area is added to the field content.
You can change the sketch if necessary. To do this, click in the Sketch field and select the required sketch or sketch area. You can also edit the selected sketch by clicking the 
icon in the Sketch field.
3.Specify the Parameters of the Sheet Solid Using the controls located in the Main section of the Parameter Panel. The set of these controls depends on the type of the selected sketch – closed or open.
4.In section Deployment configure determination of the sweep length bends of sheet solid.
5.If required, set the name of the sheet solid and properties of its surface display using the controls located in the Properties section.

6.To complete building, click Create an object 
.
7.To complete the command, click Finish 
.
After completing the above steps, a sheet solid will appear in the model, and its icon in the Feature Tree .
Bends of the resulting sheet solid based on the open sketch are also displayed in the Design tree. If required, you can Edit.
Tips
•You can set the thickness of a sheet solid, construction distance and some other parameters of a sheet solid in the graphics area using defining points.
•To set linear parameters of the operation, you can use commands of the geometrical calculator.
•You can change the default values of the sheet solid parameters in the Sheet solid properties.
•You may assign tolerances, specified in linear or angular units, to operation parameter values. To do this, invoke the Tolerance command, located in the menu of the required parameter, or click the icon 
, displayed in the parameter field (the icon is displayed if a tolerance is assigned to the parameter value).
