create flat pattern

(OP)


I need to create this part using sheet metal to be able to generate the flat pattern. The thickness is 12 Ga. My experience with sheet metal is not quite large yet. Please help!!

RE: create flat pattern

You will not be able to get a flat pattern from this using the  Sheet Metal module. The part you show would involve material deformation (stretching & thinning) of the "rim" features. SW does not have that capability.
You will have to create a separate 'flat'.

cheers

I'll confirm what CBL said.  It's true.
