![]() Our design goal is to connect these bodies with additional sheet metal components that can be welded together.Ĭonnecting the mounting plates with an edge flange can be easily done using the powerful “Up to Edge and Merge” option. We have the base sheet metal body and the two critically located mounting plates. Here, we have the initial design intent captured in our SOLIDWORKS model with three separate sheet metal bodies. Let us take a quick look at sheet metal design in SOLIDWORKS and examine how much design time we can save by utilizing this edge flange option of “Up to Edge and Merge.” Another great tool afforded to us with multiple sheet metal bodies is an option that exists under the edge flange feature. ![]() Having the ability to mirror and pattern the solid bodies in your sheet metal designs can save massive amounts of time. ![]() This functionality was eventually extended to sheet metal bodies in SOLIDWORKS in 2010. Multiple solid bodies in a single part file has been supported in SOLIDWORKS going back to 2003. ![]()
