    BIW - Beads

    There are three main types of beads - circular, V-shaped, and U-shaped - that are useful in sheet metal design by adding strength or controlling formability. Beads can be created through sweeping section curves along guides or revolving end faces. The bead design process involves determining the shape, placement faces on the sheet metal, and centerline that defines the bead's path.

    BIW - Beads

    Overview: A bead forms a protrusion or depression in the sheet or solid body to


    which it is applied. Beads are useful in the design of sheet metal products
    because they add strength to the product or dissipate stress and control the
    formability of the material during metal stamping operations.

    Beads Types
    There are three types of beads: circular, V-shaped, and U-shaped.

    Bead Creation
    There are many ways to create a bead formation. Functions that allow you to
    sweep section data along guides work well for most formations. Using functions
    that create tubular formation along a single centerline guide string can form
    simple circular beads. The end run-out conditions are controlled by the bead
    centerline. Some CAD systems offer bead functions within the sheet metal tools.
    Some of the hardest areas to model on some beads are capping the ends or
    blending the ends. In many situations, you can revolve the end face of the bead
    to form this shape.

    Determine Bead Shape


    Create typical section curves, or if available, bead functions that most closely
    resembles the design intent.

    Determine Bead Placement Faces


    Next, you need to determine the placement faces of the bead. The placement
    face is one or more selected faces. The base of the bead follows the contours
    of these faces.

    Create Initial Bead Centerline


    Create the initial bead centerline after you determine the shape and the
    placement faces of the bead. The centerline defines the path of the bead.
    Develop the centerline on the face if you are using a planar face. If you are
    using a complex face, develop the bead centerline on a plane away from the
    complex faces, then project the curves back to the contoured faces.

    Develop centerline extensions in situations where the bead's end is not a full
    radius as in some circular type beads.
