Sheet Metal Flatten pattern problem
Sheet Metal Flatten pattern problem
(OP)
If you review the files in the attached zip file, you will see that I am trying to construct a sheet metal part that is curved and has a hem on the curved edge.
The trouble comes when I want to flatten the part. I get two different results based on modeling techniques, neither of which creates a successful flat pattern.
Any suggestions for work arounds?
