Rule Failure Details:

Minimum Hole Diameter

Definition: Avoid designing parts with very small holes. Small diameter punches are susceptible to failure.

Parameter: Hole Diameter to Sheet Thickness Ratio (D/t)

Hole Diameter to Sheet Thickness Ratio (D/t)
Recommendations

Actual Value Recommended Value No. of Instances

0.984 >= 1.0 6

Countersink Hole Distance to Part Edge

Definition: If a countersink hole is too close to an edge, the edge will distort, forming a bulge. The minimum distance a hole should have from an edge is a function of the
sheet thickness.

Parameter: Distance to Sheet Thickness Ratio(D/t)

Countersink Hole Spacing

Definition: If two countersink holes are too close to each other, there is a possibility of distortion. The minimum distance between two countersink holes is a function of
the sheet thickness.

Parameter: Distance to Sheet Thickness Ratio (D/t)

Counterbore Hole Distance to Part Edge

Definition: If a counterbore hole is too close to an edge, the edge will distort, forming a bulge. The minimum distance a counterbore hole should have from an edge is a
function of the sheet thickness.

Parameter: Distance to Sheet Thickness Ratio (D/t)

Hole Distance to Bends

Definition: If a hole is too close to a bend, the hole will distort during bending assuming that the hole is punched before bending. Punching the hole after bending, will be
more expensive due to additional cost of fixtures.

Parameter: Distance to Sheet Thickness Ratio (D/t)

Minimum Bend Radius

Definition: A general guideline is to keep the inside radius approximately equal to the material thickness. However depending on the material being used, this value may
have to be increased, otherwise it will cause material flow problems in soft material and fracturing in hard material.
