Flat pattern of a square to round elbow

[pegus]

Good day everyone,

If there is any method to create a 45 degree Square to round sheet metal elbow and then obtain the flat pattern?

I can create the swept, but when I try to unbend it, it does not let me to do it, I think the problem is beacause the swept is just one body.

Thanks in advance!

P.P.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Note that this will be fairly easy once you have NX 11.0 installed, some time next year:

John,

I am using NX8.5.
I remember that you helped me a few months ago on how to obtain the flat pattern on this NX version:

But it was for a straight duct. Now I want to do the same but for an 45 degree elbow.

Thanks in advance!
