Hi all.

 

I'm new to inventor, particularly working with sheetmetal. I have a model Im working on. Its basically a cover for an item.

 

It comprises of three parts that will be welded together. the 'Body section is a flat piece of sheet metal that is folded 7 times with the weld making the eighth corner.

 

Size of each face is (in mm) 20-30-20-67-20-30-20-67. height is irrelevant for the purpose of this post. Thickness of the sheet is 1.3mm. the fold angle is 45 degrees

 

I've created 7 folds on the sheet and I'm basically got one edge overlapping into the middle of the face at the other end of the sheet.

 

I want to create a weld along these two faces but I cant figure out how to align the two ends of the body in order for me to create a weld.

 

Any help would be much apreciated

 

Cheers

 

Dean
