Hi dear gurus and friends,
Please see attached .zip (you can open the .SAT file using SolidWork).
I'm an Elec. Engineer so please bear with me because I know nothing about SolidWorks.
I've drawn a planar model (several FLAT layers) that I want to bend into curved-SURFACE (as if all 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). Please don't use the "Projection" method because it would change the lengths of the original model's details.
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 several times.
Thank you so much dear gurus.
