Here's how you can create a custom edge flange relief in SolidWorks: To add a custom edge flange relief to your sheet metal design, follow these steps: First, select the sheet metal component that requires the relief. Then, go to the "Flanges" tab and click on the "Edge Flange" command. In the "Edge Flange PropertyManager," choose the desired flange type from the drop-down menu. Next, in the "Relief Type" section, select "Custom Relief." This will allow you to specify a custom relief depth and shape. Click on the "Specify" button next to "Relief Depth" and enter your preferred value. You can also adjust the relief angle by clicking on the "Specify" button next to "Angle." To create a custom relief shape, click on the "Draw Relief" button. This will allow you to sketch a 2D profile that defines the relief shape. Use the various drawing tools to create the desired profile. Once you've created your custom relief profile, click on the "Apply" button to apply it to the edge flange. The custom relief will now be applied to the selected sheet metal component. You can adjust the relief depth and angle as needed by clicking on the "Edit Relief" button. This will allow you to modify the existing relief shape or create a new one. To finish, click on the "OK" button to accept your changes and update the sheet metal design. Your custom edge flange relief is now complete. Note: Make sure to save your SolidWorks file regularly as you make changes to avoid losing any work.
