Convert tear shape cut from pipe to flat pattern in sheet metal

Convert tear shape cut from pipe to flat pattern in sheet metal

(OP)
Hi there,

I am currently designing an outlet for a piece of equipment via solidworks. I am using the sheet metal app to cut a piece of pipe at a 45 deg angle from its corner, then cut the remaining triangle shaped profile in half. I am then able to convert it to flat pattern. When I attempt to replicate this procedure after cutting the pipe at 50 deg instead (to increase the height of the outlet and provide more airflow)there is an error message when I try to convert it to flat pattern.

https://forum.solidworks.com/thread/98744

Any insight from someone with experience in solidworks would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jake
