Creating a helix in NXSheetmetal (NX 5.0)
Creating a helix in NXSheetmetal (NX 5.0)
(OP)
Hi all,
I am trying to model a helix that is formed out of 3/8" thick sheet steel on a press type form die. I would like to model this within NXSheetmetal and be able to see the flat pattern. Is this possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Lurks

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
