A rolled steel part - NX6
A rolled steel part - NX6
(OP)
Is there a way to create a solid model, starting with a flat pattern, of a part that gets rolled into a cylinder segment?
I really can't figure out an easy way to do it, some of the cut-outs are a bit funky, so simply extruding the cut-outs thru the steel cylinder doesn't work.
We have NX6 "Sheet Metal", but not "Forming/Flattening" or "Aerospace Sheet Metal"

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

NX should consider adding something for rolled parts - They have what they need already in there, and they just need to arrange it so it is seemless going from a flat pattern to the finished rolled part.

In our case we are welding cylinder segments together.
