I have a sheetmetal part, .120" thick, with a .120" bend radius. I created a forming tool to make a gusset in the bend. I looked at Tools>Check and the minimum radius on the forming tool is .180".
When I apply the tool, I get the message "The part's thickness may not be compatible with this form tool. The thickness must be less than the minimum radius of curvature for the form tool."
Last I checked, .120" (thickness) is less than .180" (minimum radius of the form tool).
If I drop the thickness to below .06", it works fine.
Any thoughts?
I'm using SW2011.
