The Flange tool creates a sheet metal base flange , contour flange , edge flange , or lofted flange based on profiles you select in Fusion.

Use the Flange tool to create a sheet metal base flange , contour flange , edge flange , or lofted flange based on the profiles you select in Fusion.

Create a base flange On the Sheet Metal tab, select Create > Flange .

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.

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.

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.

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.

Intersection: Creates a bend relief shape by extending the flange edges until they intersect. Full Round: Creates a bend relief shape by extending the flange edges until they intersect, then adding a full round fillet at the intersection, tangent to the flange edges starting at the bend zone.

Use Rip to modify a lofted flange to create an open flange that you can then unfold or create a flat pattern from.

The bending load is applied to the middle portion of the top flange as a normal force. In this activity, you Apply a constraint to the +X end of the beam in all directions Apply a constraint to the -X end of the beam in the Y and Z directions Apply a 300 kN bending load to the middle portion of the top flange .

The beam is loaded with a 300 kN downward force acting on the central portion of the top flange . The top face has been split to confine the load to the desired portion of the flange .

Tutorials organization Create sheet metal body In this tutorial, you create a sheet metal flange from a sketch, and apply a new rule.
