A spreadsheet will appear but all the values will be in imperial. Now if you go to Insert, Bend Tables, New a pop up will appear asking you for units and type. Therefore 100mm minus 92 is 8mm bend Deduction. If I bend this to 90 degrees and measure the outside to outside dimensions they could be both 50mm.

For Example I could have a piece of 4mm material, 92mm long. Bend Deduction is the difference between the flat unbent pieces length and the sum of the outside to outside dimension of the bent piece. If you are using equations or design sheets that allow material to change it is absolutley critical that your model is built in a way that allows the material thickness to be increased in the correct direction. 07.Yjeepster - You are right about the material thickness.

Working files are included, allowing you to follow along with the author throughout the lessons. Finally, the course concludes with a chapter to help you prepare for the SolidWorks Sheet Metal Certification exam.Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will be fully capable of creating sheet metal parts in SolidWorks, as well as prepare for and pass the CSWPA - Sheet Metal exam. You will also learn how to create advanced sheet metal features, such as multibody sheet metal parts and lofted bends. This video tutorial also covers how to convert an existing part into a sheet metal part, as well as how to create sheet metal drawings from sheet metal parts. From there, Dean will teach you how to apply and modify sheet metal forming tools. This course is designed to help users prepare for and successfully complete the SolidWorks Sheet Metal Certification (CSWPA - Sheet Metal) exam, meaning a fundamental understanding of SolidWorks is required.You will start by learning how to create sheet metal parts, including a base flange, closed corner, and a miter flange.

In this SolidWorks 2015 - Sheet Metal training course, expert author Dean Kerste will teach you how to navigate the SolidWorks sheet metal environment.
