Wire form
Wire form
(OP)
Hi Friends,
I appriciate the capabilities of the sheet-metal bend features. Especially the Flange and Bend tool features.
Question - I need to peform the same kind of bend features on a wire instead of a sheet metal. For instance, say I need to model a wire clip (Like office paper clip). Model bends, Flat pattern of the wire form etc.
Does any one know which feature is applicable in this case?

I tried this, but i felt that not so useful.
You may have a diffrent approch to suggest.
Please bear with my example.Correct me if my approch is incorrect.
Consider I need to bend a Dia 10mm x 400mm long rod into a square shape (100mm X 100mm). T ostart with I model a rod Dia 10, 400mm long. Create planes at every 100 mm intervals along the rod. Then when I use Flex to bend first corner, i will now not have the rest of the planes avilable to continue the operation (the planes wont move with the part :O )
Is there a better way I can use this feature rather than I stuggle with the plane building.
