SheetMetal Design in a Nutshell
The SheetMetal Design workbench is a new generation product offering an intuitive and flexible user interface.
It provides an associative feature-based modeling, making it possible to design sheet metal parts in concurrent
engineering between the unfolded or folded part representation.
SheetMetal Design offers the following main functions:
●Associative and dedicated sheet metal feature-based modeling
●Concurrent engineering between the unfolded or folded part representation
●Access to company-defined standards tables
●Dedicated drawing capability including unfolded view and specific settings.
All sheet metal specifications can be re-used by the Knowledge Advisor workbench to capture corporate
knowledge and increase the quality of designs.
Natively integrated, SheetMetal Design offers the same ease of use and user interface consistency as all V5
applications.
As a scalable product, SheetMetal Design can be used in cooperation with other current or future companion
products in CATIA V5 such as Assembly Design and Generative Drafting. The widest application portfolio in the
industry is also accessible through interoperability with CATIA Solutions Version 4 to enable support of the full
product development process from initial concept to product in operation.
The SheetMetal Design User's Guide has been designed to show you how to design sheet metal parts of
varying levels of complexity.
