Unbending a sheet metal part
Unbending a sheet metal part
(OP)
Dear Friends,
I have made a sheet metal sheet by using a variable section sweep. One of the trajectory is an arc of constant radius and the other is an arc of variable radius (spiral). I am unable to unbend such sheet.
Request your views. I can send you the Pro/E part if you can provide me your mail ID.

Once you twist geometry in 2 directions, it will not generally unbend.
Think of it this way, since three points define a plane, then if your part does not meet this condition for any part of the geometry, it will not unbend thru this geometry.
You have to design your part with this intent. I used to design complex funnels and hoppers for the packaging indusrty, and learned the long way to undebnd complex geometry.
