Hey,
I'm currently using Solidworks to flatten a compound shape using the plugin BlankWorks. It will only flatten solids that are less than 15mm thick, so I have to use surfaces for anything thicker. In an email they explained:
"the user should build the input surface as closes as possible to the theoretical neutral fibre of the material (rather than just the middle). Our software assumes that the input surface is at the neutral fibre."
So I was wondering if anyone knows how to calculate where the neutral fibre is on a steel plate
Thanks!
