Convert to sheet metal in NX 5.0.4.1
Convert to sheet metal in NX 5.0.4.1
(OP)
I have a sheet metal part that I am trying to develop a flat blank for. The shape looks a double "S" attached verticaly with (7) steps running the other direction that are offset the metal thickness and blended together. I extracted the planar surfaces and the blends that make the double "S" shape ingoring the the small blends that run the other direction. So I have (7) double "S" shaped surfaces that vary in length and radii. I have sewn and thicked them to match metal thickness. When I try to convert these to sheet metal inorder on unbend them I get an error saying unable to determine metal thickness regardless of what face I select. Can someone adivise on an other way of tackling this problem?
Thanks!!
Thanks!!
