Please help bending imported .SAT model

Hi dear gurus and friends,





Please see attached ModelFile.zip (WildFire2 and .sat model).





I'm an Elec. Engineer so please bear with me because I know nothing about WildFire.





I have a planar model (several FLAT layers) that I want to bend into
an Curved-SURFACE (as if the layers are wrapped around the curved wall
of a cylinder).




The final bended model should keep the same EXACT dimensions as
when it was flat (the Separation between the layers should be the same,
and the Length of the model's little details should also be the same).




Could you please give me the step-by-step on how to do the
bend so I could do it myself afterwards as I will need to change the radius
and the imported model (.SAT) itself several times.




I've tried to click on the imported model, then click on menu/bend, but the "check mark" (bottom-right on screen) was greyed out.


Thank you so much dear gurus.


xoxo

You can wrap curves and surfaces, roll solid sheet
simply enough (see Help). That addresses the software
specific concerns. How do you intend to address the
definition details such as scaling of layer offsets to
achieve X degrees of revolution? Working those details
will be the larger concern. Maybe you should seek some
professional help?
