The Model Check capabilities in Creo are enhanced to support multibody sheet metal designs. New checks have been added to ensure design accuracy and compliance:

  • SHTMTL_THICK:
    • The thickness table now includes allowed thickness values per material.
    • Model Check reports any incorrect thicknesses for each body.
    • Regular expressions are supported for material name validation.

  • SHTMTL_BENDTAB:
    • Identifies bend table assignments not listed in the standard options.
    • The check is performed for each body, reporting all non-compliant bodies.

  • SHTMTL_YFACTOR, SHTMTL_KFACTOR:
    • Reports the Y-Factor and K-Factor values for each body.
  • SHTMTL_UNBENDS:
    • Tracks the number of consecutive unbend/bend-back features, even if they belong to different bodies.
  • SHTMTL_FLAT:
    • Verifies the presence of flat pattern features.
    • Reports the number of bodies without a flat pattern feature.
