Sloped Side Walls |
Scroll |
When building/editing a die form, you can slope side walls. The value of the slope angle is set in the Slope Angle field. The zero value in this field means absence of the slope.
The side walls of the die form are sloped according to the following rules.
•The slope angle is calculated from the normal of the base face.
•The calculation direction should be such as to slope the side walls outward relative to the bottom of the die form.
•The original dimensions of the profile (defined by the sketch) are maintained in the bottom area of the die form.
Examples of building open and closed dimples with sloped side walls are shown in the tables. The direction of adding material to side walls in all examples is inward; α is the slope angle of side walls; the original position of the part is shown by a dashed line, and the face which retained the shape and dimensions of the profile as a result of building is shown by a thick line.

KOMPAS-3D employs simplified modeling of an open pressing with sloped or bent side walls: it is considered by convention that the resulting face shown in the Figure by a thick line is parallel to the base face. |
