One-Step Unforming
One-Step Unforming
(OP)
Does anyone use this? I have tried several times and with simple sheet metal parts to use this tool to develop a blank, however it always produces an incorrect result. If you look at my example, you will see a part that has 4 flanged sides. 3 up (2 have an angle to them) and the forth down. But if you look at the blank drawn showing the 3 flanged sides, it's easy to see how incorrect it is.

I'm afraid it may just be a question of knowing the limits of what the software can do. Some people don't have this license and I believe there was some disquiet among colleagues on mine when at NX-4 extra functionality was introduced that meant you needed an advanced sheet metal license to do what was formerly available at a lower tariff. You might want to check this out further for yourself.
Hope this helps
