2005 Rolled sheetmetal
2005 Rolled sheetmetal
(OP)
All,
I am trying to create a rolled sheetmetal part in SW2005. I am having difficulty getting this to work. I viewed thread559-83712 and have not found this to help much. I have started by drawing the bent profile first, then I did a Base-Flange on that sketck. That worked, but when I try and view the flat pattern it is still the formed shape. ANy help would be greatly appreciated.

I had no problem creating a part in the manner you described. Here's what I did:
Start a new sketch and draw an arc.
Create a base-flange, choosing material thickness and the length of the flange.
Create.
Select Flat-pattern...no worries.

Sorry, but I have one other part with similar issues. Any Ideas?

"I was forgeting about adding the thickness and using a single line in the sketch..." ?????
Please post image WITH Feature Manager tree included, or better still the actual file.

I was trying to use a closed profile then extrude instead of using a single line as the profile, then in the base flange command adding the thickness.
Issue 2 is that the part I have is only a stp model. It was created in inventor, and SW does not do that good of a job with feature recognition. We are trying to recreate this part so we have a good SW part and print.
Would you like to see the stp??
I really do appreciate it.

after creating the base flange, you need to unfold the part, not flatten it. Next to the flatten button, on your sheetmetal toolbar, you should see two other buttons. One is 'Fold', the other 'Unfold'. Use these to creat your cut.

Create the flat first using the supplied dimensions. Insert a sketched bend vertically at the center of the center of the part. However, the radius called out on the sheet is too large. The largest radius that I could get to work is 4.66 inches.

Off topic here, but I went to high school with an Eva Coutermash...not a common name.
