At the time, we only explained how these reliefs worked.<\/p>\n<p>In this article we are going to explore how the feature is applied to the part to create the appropriate relief. We are also going to explain what the relief dimensions and some of the relief options means.<\/p>\n<p>For the circular and square reliefs their sizes are easy to figure out. The circular relief dimension specify the radius of the relief and the square relief its side dimension. Fig. 1, shows also how the circular and square reliefs are applied when the \u201cCentered on bend lines\u201d is unchecked.<br \/>\nWhen the \u201cCentered on bend lines\u201d is not selected the outer edges of the flanges meet the center of the circular and square relief.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11202 size-large colorbox-11644\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/Fig1-1-615x314.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/Fig1-1-615x314.png 615w, http:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/Fig1-1-300x153.png 300w, http:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/Fig1-1-768x392.png 768w, http:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/Fig1-1-728x372.png 728w, http:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/Fig1-1.png 889w\" alt=\"Fig1\" width=\"615\" height=\"314\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/2016\/05\/spotlight-on-features-how-sheet-metal-corner-reliefs-are-applied-to-the-body.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"pl-header-title\">Simulation Step-Up Series<\/h1>\n<p>Introducing the <strong>Simulation Step-Up learning series<\/strong>!<br \/>\nThe North America SOLIDWORKS Simulation experts present a series of short, to-the-point and actionable videos.
