ANSYS SpaceClaim enables engineers the flexibility to work with any CAD data to create, edit, and prepare models for high precision sheet metal fabrication. Capabilities include:
- Automatically unfold sheet metal parts and create junctions
- View both the bend and unfolded model simultaneously in order to see the effects of changes in both
- Leverage bend tables and K factor for unfolding, as needed
- Adjust thickness, bend allowance, and material properties at any time
- Open data from any CAD system
- Pattern lightweight holes easily without grinding computer to a halt
- Send models directly to the cutting/bending machine
- Prepare models for manufacturing no matter where the model was created
- Convert DXF/DWG into useful 3D data easily
- Easily create edge and corner reliefs, hems, hinges, punches, countersinks, knockouts, bridges, extrusions and other forms, utilising a customized form library
