In part 4 of my making a Sheet Metal Duct guide, I showed how to get the best material yield. Today I’m going to show you how to add etch marks so that all parts can be rolled together as one, zip cut, reordered and…
Welcome to part 4 of this adventure of making a large sheet metal HVAC duct. In Part 3 we saved the bodies, converting them into sheet metal parts and exported as DXF/DWG. In this final part I’m going to show you how to modify the…
Designing 90° Sheet Metal HVAC Duct in SOLIDWORKS – Part 3 of 4
Welcome to part 3 of this adventure of making a large sheet metal HVAC duct. We left off in part 2 splitting the single body duct into 7 bodies. Today I’m going to demonstrate how to save the bodies out and how to convert into…
Designing 90° Sheet Metal HVAC Duct in SOLIDWORKS – Part 2 of 4
Welcome to Designing 90° Sheet Metal HVAC Duct in SOLIDWORKS – Part 2. In the previous part we had created the basic model for the duct, the required sizes are set with a basic sketch, and a circular profile sweep was used to create the…
Designing a 90° Sheet Metal HVAC Duct in SOLIDWORKS – Part 1 of 4
Designing and manufacturing a duct for a ventilation system is easy, right? With this series I’m going to start with simple, but most commonly asked for in a HVAC system design, the 90° bend: I’m going to break down the SOLIDWORKS creation process into these…
SOLIDWORKS Routing provides a user with a very quick method of designing new or existing routes. However, when a user is trying to route HVAC ducting, it often results in errors and incomplete routes due to how SOLIDWORKS lays the duct in the interface. But…
Solve Heat Transfer Challenges Quickly and Cost-effectively with SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation
Finding effective solutions to heat transfer problems has become an increasingly important part of new product development. Almost everything experiences heating or cooling of some kind, and for many products, such as modern electronics, medical devices, and HVAC systems, managing heat is a critical requirement…
