Difference between proe sheet metal module and solid module

First of all, we should clarify the concept of sheet metal: sheet metal is the processing operation of steel plates below 4-6mm, including cutting, stamping, folding, welding, riveting, splicing and forming. The feature is that the thickness of the same part is consistent. Then you can use the sheet metal module of proe to design such parts. Of course, the module can also be used for steel plates over 6mm, provided that it conforms to the actual manufacturing situation. For example, it is impossible to produce a 0.5mm thick steel plate of 65438+ 100mx 10m, and the features in the sheet metal module are all related to the actual sheet metal manufacturing process. Such as bending, punching, stamping, etc. The solid module is much simpler and closer to the processing of ordinary materials, but it has no characteristics of sheet metal. Of course, sheet metal parts drawn by solids can be converted into sheet metal modules, and vice versa.
