Sheet metal - Cormer seam

Hello,

 

I come back often for this issue.

 

Please see attached image of a corner. It is as I want it.

 

When I change the angle of the Flange called 91_Degree_Flange to the intended 91 degrees, the corner changes to something ugly.

 

Can anyone get the corner to work at it's intended 91 degrees ?

 

Thanks

Hello @chachaman 

 

I have attached a screenshot of the part at 91 Degrees, where on the side places a big relief. Is this the problem you mentioned? If so, after changed the bend to 91 Degrees i then deleted the Corner Seam below the flange. 

 

This corrected the problem. The Corner Seam you placed interfered with the fold.

 

In the screenshot i just moved the End of Part to show it solving the problem. But the Corner Seam can be deleted.

 

Hope this helps and has solved your problem??

Hello your seam is nice however you appear to be using a symetric gap seam whereas I am looking for an overlap seam....please see image.

 

Can you achieve as good a result with the overlap seam ? If so, please tell me how ?

Hi Angelo;

I don't think - there would be many people, encountering such a problem. The part you have created is, effectively - an assembly. Maybe you intended the part to be a multi-solid one. For future creation of individual parts. But your file does not reflect it. Yet, if multi-solid approach is to be implemented - than your finding is helpful, of course.

Cheers,

Igor.

Hello Igor,

the part is indeed a multi-body part from which individual parts are then created.

 

Thank you for your interest and contribution.

 

Kind regards...

Hi Angelo;

If I was designing these items - I would rather model them as it is shown in the attached picture. 

But maybe your design intent is somewhat different to what I understood from the file of yours.

Cheers,

Igor.
