Let us take a small e.g.....assume that we are creating hopper . So hopper is the part which can be manufactured by welding 2 to 4 parts together. If this functionality available then we can easily split the part into multiple sheetmetal part and then create a new part from each splitted body from it. Just like master model methodology.
This is something that we already have started to work on. There is also a working group running for it where we would be interested to learn more about your use cases and requirements. You can join it from here:
You have been able to create multibody sheetmetal designs since Creo4. While maybe not the Creo7 multibody functionality, we have created multiple parts in Creo4 in the sheetmetal package.
One of the benefits of multibody sheetmetal is ECAD flex prints. Right now the board thickness and the flex thickness have to be the same thickness because it is using the sheetmetal module. If we have sheetmetal multibody then we could make the flex the proper thickness.
Hi together, currently we want to use the multibody concept to have an easy way to define a complex skeleton for large welding assemblies. Multibody offers here an inuitive methodology in order to get anclear and clean flow of references! What we are missing deerly, would be the possibility to use sheetmetal functions inside the multibody skeleton to define reliefe geometry and other special sheetmetal features such as flats and so on. In Creo 7 this is only possible for exactly one body in a multibody part (or skeleton).
Background of this is, that we want to define the complete geometry in the multibody skeleton and not use the sheetmetal functions of the later exported single parts, and change the geometry outside the skeleten, as we would losse the closed flow of references. So this is not a well working workaround.
@mneumueller Great to hear, that this is work in progress! I directly applied to join the above mentioned working group!
Best regards, Sebastian
