SubscriberI´d like to perform a parameterized optimization study using the thickness of a sheetmetal part as parameter. I know how to edit the thickness in the properties tab but cannot find out how to make it a parameter to be used in workbench/mechanical afterwards.
I found this hint here, but it does not seem to work under the sheetmetal tab...
Any other idea or suggestion? Thanks.

Thanks Devendra!
I am trying to compare results for various sheetmetal parts designs with different thicknesses and features (bends, beam-ribs, gussets,…) so any other suggestion/hint (e.g. better use solid-bodies or surface-bodies extracting mid-surfaces from solids? how to account for the sheet (planar and normal) anisotropy?, etc.) will be welcome!
Regards

SubscriberHi Devendra,
No news about this topic? I´ll appreciate it since I am stuck.
Thanks

Its not possible to parametrize the thickness of the Sheet metal from the options shown below in the properties panel:
You can refer the Using a Bend Deduction Table where you define combination of Thickness and VeeDieWidth like one shown below:
Although this is for bend radius and not directly for thickness. Comma-Separated Value FileÂ
Another way could be to create a mid-surface and assign a thickness to it in Mechanical. Let me know if this helps.
Thanks,Â

SubscriberThanks Devendra!
That´s fine. It´s pretty much the same recommendation I got from your mate Sampat Kumat here:
/forum/forums/topic/sheet-metal-parts-in-spaceclaim-and-mechanical/#post-357248
What about the questions about how to deal with other sheetmetal parts features (bends, beams/ribs/dimples, gussets,…) and characteristics (planar and normal anisotropy, springback, eventual thinnings,...)? Any tips there?
Thanks again.

Other Sheetmetal features cannot be parametrized. Those are features for modification and creation of sheetmetal parts.Â
