Extrusion Creation
Path: Insert | Extrusion
Located on the Sheet Metal toolbar.
Use this to ...
- Create sheet metal extrusions from existing geometry.
Key Points
- You can create multiple walls with one profile.
- Every wall is created separately in the Specification Tree as a child of the original sketch, instead of separate sketches for each wall.
Prerequisites
- You should be in the Sheet Metal Design workbench.
- You need an existing open profile sketch.
Process: Creating a Sheet Metal Extrusion using Dimensions
1. Select Insert | Extrusion. CATIA prompts you to pick a sketched profile.
2. Pick an open profile sketch in the Graphics window or the Specification Tree, the Extrusion Definition dialog displays.
3. Set Type to Dimension. The Limit text box is no longer available.
4. Enter a value in the Length text box to define the extrusion distance.
5. If necessary, activate Mirrored Extent.
6. If necessary, activate Symmetrical Thickness.
7. Click OK to create the extruded sheet.
Process: Creating a Sheet Metal Extrusion Using Up to Plane
1. Select Insert | Extrusion. CATIA prompts you to pick a sketched profile.
2. Pick an open profile sketch in the Graphics window or the Specification Tree, the Extrusion Definition dialog displays.
3. Set Type to Up to Plane. The Length 1 text box is no longer available.
4. Click in the Limit text box and pick a reference plane in the Graphics window.
5. If necessary, activate Symmetrical Thickness.
6. Click OK to create the extruded sheet.
Process: Creating a Sheet Metal Extrusion Using Up to Surface
1. Select Insert | Extrusion. CATIA prompts you to pick a sketched profile.
2. Pick an open profile sketch in the Graphics window or the Specification Tree, the Extrusion Definition dialog displays.
3. Set Type to Up to Surface. The Length 1 text box is no longer available.
4. Click in the Limit text box and pick an existing face in the Graphics window.
5. If necessary, activate Symmetrical Thickness.
