Project: HiCAD Sheet Metal

Create Cross-Break 

Sheet Metal > Further Tools > Crossbr.

Creating cross-breaks means the bulging or bending of sheets in the way shown below. It is carried out, for example, by means of force fitting using hydraulic pressure. Sheets which have been processed in this way have greater load bearing capacity than flat sheets.

Once you have selected the function, the Setting dialogue window appears.

  1. Activate the relevant checkboxes and choose OK to exit the settings.
  2. Specify a flat border and the cross-break height.
  3. Identify a surface of the sheet you want to process.

The sheet is arched, and you can identify another surface. Use the middle mouse button to end the function.

(1) Reference surface
(2) Flat border
(3) Height of cross-break

 

Please note:

This function can only be applied to square sheets without fillets, bores or similar.
