I need help with unbend

[joebuggy]

Hi,

Please help me!!!

Is it possible make on this part unbend feature or/and flat_state? This part must be sheetmetal. Maybe better way is created it with "form_feature".

Thanks for each advice.

you have no "rips" from which to create unbends. you have created a stamped part, not a bent part.


Try creating this part completely in sheetmetal.

hello,


There is a solution above. dewme5 is right. sometimes it iseasier to start the creation of a part in sheet metal environment.

The problem is in the method you constructed your model. You have a lot going on with your one flange and all the radii. Start with just the base form followed up with railing a flange about the part. If you construct your model the same method of progressions it will be made, you will have no issues. Also, your inner radii on the inner corner, this is determined by the flange height.

Thanks, but ...

This sheet must be without rips. This part is bottom of fueltank. I need minimize welding.

It doesn't look like a developable part in which case you will not be able to unbend it. Correct me if I am wrong though.

Joebuggy,


I agree with the others, it is not a developable part. You could develop bits of it but not as a whole the way you have it without rips.
