On the Sheet Metal tab, select Create > Lofted Flange . The Lofted Flange dialog appears.

Design > Sheet Metal > Create > Lofted Flange Profiles Select two open or two closed sketch profiles to use for lofted flange profiles.

You can use the Flange to create the following sheet metal features: Base flange Edge flange Contour flange Hem Lofted flange Base Flange The Base flange creates a flat sheet metal body from a closed sketch profile, that serves as the foundation for additional sheet metal features.

Create base, edge, and contour flanges using the Flange feature in the Design workspace in Fusion.

The Flange creates a sheet metal flat or bend flange based on sketch profiles you select in Fusion.

In this activity, you create a simple sheet metal flange . To accomplish this you Confirm your document settings are set to mm Create a closed sketch profile using the 2-Point Rectangle tool Create a base flange from the sketch profile Add features to the base flange to create the sheet metal flange .

When creating or editing a flange or bend, use override rules in the flange dialog to override desired bend and corner rules.

A sheet metal part starts out as a flat piece of metal with a consistent thickness. A flange feature consists of a face and bend connected to an existing face along an edge.

If you are in the Solid tab, switch to the Sheet Metal tab. Click Flange from the Create drop-down. Select the sketch profile.

In this tutorial, you Created a simple sheet metal body from scratch, using Sketch tools to create a profile for a base face, and the Flange tool to create a flange along the edges Changed rules used for the sheet metal body Created a flat pattern and subsequently a drawing for manufacturing, using the flat pattern.

The sheet metal Rip tool creates a rip on a sheet metal flange or removes a face. You can use the Rip tool to modify a lofted flange to create an open flange that you can then unfold or create a flat pattern from.

Use the Bend tool to create bends on a sheet metal flange based on the sketch lines you select and the options you specify in Fusion.

Select the Type of hem: Flat : Creates a fold that rests tightly along the connected flange . Open : Creates a fold with a small gap between the edge and connecting flange .

Rope : Creates a rounded fold with an extended flange edge and a small gap between the edge and the connecting flange , similar to an open hem.

Tangent: Places a rounded relief shape so that it is tangent to the edges of two flanges where they meet the base flange .
