Bead
The
Bead
command creates a bead feature, which stiffens the sheet metal part. In order to
create a bead feature, first you must have a sketch, which defines the bead size and shape. If
the sketch is having curved edges, then ensure that they are tangent continuous. Activate the
Bead
command (click
Home > Punch > Bead
on the ribbon) and click on the sketch. On
the
Bead
dialog, click the
Reverse Direction
button to flip the bead feature.
On this dialog, under
Bend Properties
, select the cross section type and define the size para-
meters.
From the
End Condition
drop-down menu, select
Formed
,
Lanced
, or
Punched
.
