The sketch can be a single closed multiple closed or multiple enclosed profile.

Solidworks sheet metal tabs.

The illustration shows a single tab feature that adds two tabs to the sheet metal part. The illustration shows a single tab feature that adds two tabs to the sheet metal part. Properties of tab sketches include. The depth of a tab feature is automatically set to the thickness of the sheet metal part.

The tab s depth and direction are automatically set to match the parameters of the base flange feature. There are specific sheet metal features you can use to create sheet metal bodies quickly. The tab is added to the sheet metal part. Use the form.

Click base flange tab on the sheet metal toolbar or click insert sheet metal base flange. Properties of tab sketches include. Sheet metal tab and slot was introduced with solidworks 2018 and it gave engineers a great and fast way for a common time consuming task. The direction of the depth automatically coincides with the sheet metal part to prevent a disjoint body.

The sketch must be on a plane or planar face that is perpendicular to the direction of thickness of the sheet metal part. However in some circumstances when the design requires certain types of geometry you can use non sheet metal feature tools then insert bends or convert the part to sheet metal. More ways to influence the slot shape. Solidworks welcomes your feedback concerning the presentation accuracy and thoroughness of the documentation.
