Solidworks sheet metal tabs.

You can edit the sketch. The sketch can be a single closed multiple closed or multiple enclosed profile. The sketch can be a single closed multiple closed or multiple enclosed profile. Solidworks welcomes your feedback concerning the presentation accuracy and thoroughness of the documentation.

Click base flange tab on the sheet metal toolbar or click insert sheet metal base flange. But it did not last long or the first solidworks users started to demand more functionality like. The depth of a tab feature is automatically set to the thickness of the sheet metal part. Create a sketch on a plane or planar face that meets the above requirements.

The tab s depth and direction are automatically set to match the parameters of the base flange feature.

Use the form. The sketch can be a single closed multiple closed or multiple enclosed profile. There are specific sheet metal features you can use to create sheet metal bodies quickly. Properties of tab sketches include.

The direction of the depth automatically coincides with the sheet metal part to prevent a disjoint body. 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 illustration shows a single tab feature that adds two tabs to 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.

The tab is added to the sheet metal part.
