sheet metal yatch

[metin_mehel]

hello.


I want to build a model yatch with proe. The hull geometry is created by blendingseveral curves. I need tounbend the hull. Then I willprint it into a a4 paper and cut outside so on.


However it is not possible to unbend this shape. It says improper geometry. What is wrong?


Thank you for your help.

well, if you have a part that has non-zero Gaussian curvature,it can't get fattened without wrinkles.it might be the reason you get that error. try using the developable option in boundary blend.

I might try and change your approach. Making this all happen in one part model is a bit of a stretch even fro pro e.Try anassembly model. Put the curves in one part and thenconstruct each surf in an individual part file. Flatten each part and then put them into a drw. You can arange the viws in order to maximize material uasage. Look on the internet for "stich and seam" boat building. This will help you understand how the boards will require extra material to overlap and mate. I have made a few model hydroplanesas a kid this way. (not with pro-e) This should be easy once you change your approach.

Did you try "flatten quilt" on the surface prior to thickening? That might give you a flat pattern you can use.
