How to convert a solid geometry to a sheetmetal part ?
(OP)
For instance, if I have a tubing as a Y shape, how can I convert it from a solid part to a sheetmetal part, in order to develop it afterwards ? Assuming that this Y shape part has been created from pro foundation module.





RE: How to convert a solid geometry to a sheetmetal part ?
For a model like yours, you will need to use SHTMTL CUTS or RIPS to allow sheetmetal to flatten the final state.
You may have some difficulty in DEVELOPPING the y-shape area, so use the DEFORM AREA here.
Let me know if you need more info. Maybe even look at your part.
