how to create a cone?

[dewme5]

I'm looking to create a sheetmetal part. it will have a flat piece, that connects to a portion of a cone, then to another flat piece.

I would assume I am just not searching the right phrasing. Below is an example of what I am referring to. How do you create the part in sheetmetal?

I THINK THIS WILL BE A WELDING ASSEMBLY OF TWO FLAT (BLADES) AND THE CENTER CONE.

Since this is a CAD forum I assume you need help with how to make it in Pro/E

(You can make it in one piece in the real world using a slip-roll and a press brake. Or just a pipe, rubber mallet and an angle bar.... No welding neccesary)


In pro e start with making the cone (revolved wall), add sketched flanges (Flange wall) and you're done.


If you like you can start with a solid or go direct to sheetmetal module, it doesnt matter in this case.


Image shows the different steps and the tools used.


Hope this helps

ankarl, this is exactly what I was looking for. Pro/Sheetmetal is not something I seem to ever use. The revolved wall was my stuttering point.

Sanjeev, Proe can
unbend all ruled surfaces. While trying this out, if it
gives an error, modify the sketch.
