Flat pattern of circular T-Bar Solid
Flat pattern of circular T-Bar Solid
(OP)
All,
I am trying to find a program in NX that will alow me to create a flat solid for a T Bar metal that needs to be able to generate a flat pattern PRIOR to bending to its final geometry. The final geometry I want to have is attached (TIFF File), so let me know if you know any ways to do this. I tried using sheet metal and Flexible printed circuit design and that did not assist anything. Thanks.
Reggie

Your flat part will have to be extended long enough to provide the moment and get trimmed after forming. It's also possible to set-up for continuous rolling, where the flat stock is formed into a continuous spiral, leaving the end flats on only the first and last bit of straight stock. In this case the flat part could be 20 foot long but result in many parts.
