SOLIDWORKS Flex Tool Overview

[@BayMacDre415]

this was the video I needed. Well made, concise, and shown with a beautifully detailed model.

Great video. As a mechanical design engineer, (Who has never used the flex command) and drummer, this video was perfect :) I'm working on bending a flex circuit in solidworks, saw the first few seconds of this video and knew it was exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks very much, going to flex it now :).

It's important to know/show what the distance the triad is from your axis of twist. In your case the distance of your axis of twist happens to fall on the origin. If it doesn't you can get some odd results and not know why. You should update this tutorial with that info.

Thanks for commenting this! I needed to know the offset from the origin to make it work.

@@mw3789 Yep, this did it for me, you have to enter the distance from the origin to your first trim plane into one of the Triad axes (for me it was y, but my plane transform was 90 deg in x). This is by far the most baffling tool in solidworks.
