Fillet feature on edges in Solidworks - Dashboard Guide

Dashboard Mode - Fillet feature on edges

Goal

Understand how applying fillet features on edges affects the design and manufacturing cost of a part.

Sample Data

Edge ID	Length (mm)	Fillet Radius (mm)	Manufacturing Cost ($)
E1	50	5	120
E2	30	3	80
E3	40	0	60
E4	20	2	50
E5	60	6	140

Dashboard Components

• KPI Card: Total Manufacturing Cost
  Formula: SUM of Manufacturing Cost column
  Result: $450
• Bar Chart: Fillet Radius vs Manufacturing Cost
  X-axis: Edge ID
  Y-axis: Manufacturing Cost ($)
  Bars colored by Fillet Radius size
• Table: Edges with Fillet Radius > 0
  Filters edges where Fillet Radius > 0
  Shows Edge ID, Length, Fillet Radius, Manufacturing Cost

Dashboard Layout

+----------------------+----------------------+
|      KPI Card        |      Bar Chart       |
|  Total Cost: $450    | Fillet Radius vs Cost|
+----------------------+----------------------+
|          Table: Edges with Fillet > 0           |
+--------------------------------------------------+

Interactivity

Filter by Fillet Radius > 0 updates the table to show only edges with fillets. Selecting an edge in the table highlights its bar in the chart. Changing fillet radius values updates manufacturing cost and total cost KPI.

Self Check

If you add a filter to show only edges with Fillet Radius >= 5 mm, which components update?

• The table shows only edges E1 and E5.
• The bar chart highlights bars for E1 and E5.
• The KPI card recalculates total manufacturing cost for filtered edges: $260.

Key Result

Dashboard shows how fillet radius on edges affects manufacturing cost with total cost KPI, bar chart, and filtered table.
