wing rib "joggle"
(OP)
ok, i have yet another problem (i get them ALOT). im currently drawing a wing rib, and i need to put joggles in the outer flanges to allow .032 in. clearance for the horizontal stiffeners. (a joggle is just a little dog-leg in the flange that rivets to the wing to allow clearance for the wing skin to lay flat across the stiffers, just to clarify) im fairly new(ish) to sheetmetal, and i have not a clue how to attack this. any help? there needs to be 6 joggles 1.25 in long to the first setback on the dog-leg. ill post additinal info a little later as needed.

I've had the same problem with sheet metal parts. Curved edge flanges are cool, but to try and combine with either A: jogs, or B: variable bend angle - SolidWorks doesn't seem to have the capability.
As you pointed out....the sheetmetal has to deform adjacent to the jog - which raises the complexity of creating a flat pattern up a notch.
You can model your rib as a solid - without any sheetmetal features - if your intent is to simply create a model. But to be able to create a rib with jogs in the flanges and then create a flat pattern....my guess is you'll have to look into Catia's Aerospace Sheetmetal Module. now we're talkin' some real CAD bucks!
