Sheet-metal loft bend
Sheet-metal loft bend
(OP)
Hello
I have a rather simple sheetmetal part I've been trying to model for some while now. The problem is the transition from a square scetch to a circular, and then to be able to continue using other features like edge flange. See attachment...
I've tried loft bend, and converting a regular model to sheet metal.
I'm using Solidworks 2009 for this.
Thankyou for any helpful tips.

The closest i can get to the shape i want, is with using the sheetmetal loft bend, the problem is that the edges of this shape is not planar, therefore using features to further build on this is not possible.
I attached a a part that shows the shape i want, the problem is i cannot put a edge flange at the flat end, and the extended circular area is not merged with the other body. (the dims are not important)
