    Folding a cone of a sheet metal piece

    Thanks for the answers. I got the cone with holes made now, so that should hopefully be all good. Now my goal is to make the "inverse/negative" of the geometry I have now, to make the fluid zone a solid instead of the walls. And ultimately take a 1/6 slice of the whole geometry, and then...

    Folding a cone of a sheet metal piece

    I will not be cutting this to a real piece of metal. It is only for modelling purpose, i.e. to get the correct geometry in the CFD calculation. But thanks alot for the input. I'm looking on your SW file right now, and it seems like a way to come around with the hole-making! It just take quite a...

    Folding a cone of a sheet metal piece

    I'm not sure what the definition of a rolled or bumped cone is. Actually what I need from this cone, is to use it as a part in an assembly which I will export a part of to some ANSYS CFD software, and model fluid flow and combustion. I would want the holes to be circular on the curved...

    Folding a cone of a sheet metal piece

    Thanks again MadMango. I've tried to play with the sheet metal bends and I haven't got it to work yet. I remember getting it to fold like a cylinder at some point as you said, but not like a cone. Do you think it would be possible to create the cone geometry from a sketch with the side and the...

    Folding a cone of a sheet metal piece

    Thanks MadMango, I'll have a look there.

    Folding a cone of a sheet metal piece

    Oh well, the headline might be a little off. It is not a sheet metal piece yet, but I wrote that as I reckon i need to convert it to a sheet metal piece to possibly get the conical shape.

    Folding a cone of a sheet metal piece

    Hey there. I'm somewhat of a rookie in SW, so I would like to ask a question. I've got this flat cone part(I did not make myself), see attached picture, and my goal is to have it folded into a cone. Can you give me any tips on how to do that? I tried to play with making it a sheet metal to...
