Converting conical part to sheet metal with NX8.5

Converting conical part to sheet metal with NX8.5

RE: Converting conical part to sheet metal with NX8.5

You should be able to use the Unwrap function for that.
You really don't need any of the sheet metal functions.

Sadly wont work since part is't true cone ore cylinder

RE: Converting conical part to sheet metal with NX8.5

Hey,

I have a way, but it does not always work:
1. extract outside face,
2. cut narrow strip along join line (for example 0.5 mm),
3. extrude one edge tangent to conic face (0.4 mm) (as planar face),
4. sew faces
5. use Thickness
6. In Sheet Metal use Convert to Sheet Metal, as base face use small planar face.
7. Use Flat Solid.

If it's no clear I can create movie with this..

Best regards

Michał Nowak
