Of course you will have to do 5 parts (actually 3 as ends and sides are duplicates + the tube).

Here is example, but I would Derive Component the surface body and then Thicken each of the two sheet metal parts in separate derived parts.

I thickened the rest of the part but it looks as though i have not got it right.There are gaps between each thicken piece plus the corners do not join.What should i have done?

I think I have a better solution, but give me some time to work it up - but the point is this will have to be at least 2 parts (not counting the tube), that is - two separate ipt files with thicken of each part in a separate file.

Hello Tony,

 

When I looked into model you attached, one sheet metal for the base and one part for the cylindrical pipe are made up this model. So I use multiple solid body and make components to one assembly, and the part should be welded to the sheet metal. Please see the attached solution created in R2012 for more details.

 

If there is any concern, please ping me @ river-yijiang.cai@autodesk.com

 

Thanks,
River Cai
