Square to round transition flat pattern
Square to round transition flat pattern
(OP)
Good day,
I came up with this doubt today.
Is any way to obtain the flat pattern from a square to round transition on NX?
I created this section with "through curves" option, but when I tried to create the flat pattern, it says that is unable to do it.
Thanks!

In the search above, enter square to round and see if the other things that appear will help you.

I can create flat patterns of flanges or pipe elbows, but not with this transition.
Is there any way or tutorial to do it?
Thanks in advance!

I am interested on how to create the square to round and flatten it as well.
Many thanks for any tips!

Maybe I am not modeling this patter properly. I use through curves.
Also what function do you use to unbend it? And the following.
Thanks in advance!

but it is possible that you have it in your NX bundle and don't realize it

Are my expectations too high?

To the Toolmaker, your nice little cartoon drawing of your glass looks cool, but your solid model sucks. Do you want me to fix it, or are you going to take all week to get it back to me so I can get some work done?

Note that in NX 9.0 I can actually get a single model of the 'duct' that can be flattened, and I can do it with ONE LESS feature, seven in total (again, two of which are Datums and two of which are Sketches).

Could you give some insight on how you created the square to round shape? A video perhaps?
Sorry for being behind in my design capabilities.
Thank you
