How to generate uniform hole pattern

[EagleEye]

Hello Friends,
I have a 3D model of C-Channel mild steel sheet (2mm thick)in Pro-E.
View attachment 5625

I want to generate a uniform hole pattern over its whole body.
How to do it? please explain.
Any help would be appreciated.

 

[s_pme20]

you can use Pattern> fill

Dear S_pme20 ,
I know how to use the pattern.
You just make a 3D in pro E of C-channel.
and try to make a hole pattern .You will get my point.

Why don't you explain what's the problem while creating pattern??
I am very sure that it can be done by FILL PATTERN

A fill pattern should make this pretty easy, although
depending on the hole density it may get cumbersome to deal
with. Perhaps we don't understand what you mean by "a
uniform hole pattern over its whole body".

Guys,

How to unbend this circular sheet ??

please help me

You can't because of geometry restrictions. Pro/E's sheet
metal module is designed to handle simple press brake
operations, that's a stamping.

In the future, please start a new thread for new questions.

Apparently, you DO NOT KNOW HOW, since whats_pme20 gave you IS A FILL PATTERN!
