Bending a solid part
Bending a solid part
(OP)
I have a model of a louver part and I need this louver to be flexible. I mean the louver lays flat but I also want it to bow in the middle. An example would be if you took a metal 6" ruler and picked it up and then placed your thumbs under the ruler and bowed each end downward, the ruler would bow in the middle. I am not sure how to do this, I have tried Warp and Solid Bend but I was not sucessfull. I have also looked thru some tutorials but no luck.
Thank you
Thank you





RE: Bending a solid part
If your louver is a more complex part, check out spinal bend. It will work real well for bending. Since spinal bend likes to start from one end of the part, you'll have to be a bit creative when assembling into your assembly to prevent one of the louver ends from moving with different bend values.
