Reason can be: The start role by default is the Welcome Role. The Quickpick is off as shown in the screenshot. I think that's the only preference which is controlled in a role. Don't know if it makes sense at all or why Siemens did it. All other roles have the "correct" setting.
mmh, I assume the loops are open somewhere.
I think, I tried everything for the 1st two geometries. Convert, Optimize Face, Cleanup etc. - without success.
The third example has the same dimension, but it's only half of the square and half of the circle, dimensions are the same as before. But...
Hi
I cannot have the flat solid in the model file because it doubles the part weight in Teamcenter.
You should put the FS Body on an other layer and work with reference sets.
When you do so, the Solid of the Bent Part has the right weight, e.g. in refset "Model". The FS is then in Reference...
Hi Christian,
my ideas to let Flat Pattern disappear (on purpose):
1) Double click on the border of FP view (Settings) and unselect the FP lines.
2) Or Ctrl+W and Hide All

Hi,
similar issue here. I would like to send a PM to you. Seems it's not possible in this forum - or is it?
Are you in the NX Design Forum? Maybe you can ask your question there too. There I could also send a PM to get in contact.
Best Regards,
Thomas
just try and try and try...
But maybe it's just one simple thing: You should use option "Keep Base Length" in Control Curve group.
There is also a lot of freedom for definition of the start point.
Base and Control Geometry is defined in Didiers example in Sketch (3): a straight line as Base and...
Hi @Krishna.k,
maybe you can use Global Shaping - by Curves

Sheet Metal application is not suitable for conical or rolled parts - it's mainly for bent parts - bends along a straight line. You can also work with punch features in Sheet Metal, but punch features are not considered for flattening.
You can create a sheet metal part in modeling and convert...
@ThreeCircle:
When you have NX Sheet Metal, switch to application Sheet Metal:
- Menu -> Insert -> Convert -> Convert to Sheet Metal (don't need the Wizard)
- Menu -> Insert -> Flat Pattern -> Flat Pattern (or .. Solid)
The result is plausible I think, but I miss the bend center line.
On the...
I would say it's software limitation. In feature tree the Joggle gives already an alert: "Joggle topology created may not flatten blabla". Try a different way or contact GTAC. Same story in NX Continuous Release 1847/2400.
On the other handside, the body after Thicken and Edge Rip should be a classical task for the Convert to Sheet Metal command. But there I failed too and gave up...
Hi Lars,
yes, it would be great if that would work. Same story as some threads ago. It works with the old Sheet Metal from Solid. I opened it in 12.0.1 - but before I deleted the Sheet Metal from Solid (and Flat Pattern, Thicken etc.).
I've opened several tickets for SMfS. This topic is PR...
When you create a Flat Pattern, attributes in the FP Feature are created for Minimum X and Minumum Y. Maybe you can start from there for Automation.

Sheet Metal from Solid has been reworked in NX 12.0.2 - and it seems not everything has been considered. Actually I opened, I'm opening and will open tickets about the new SMFS...
I was able to create the SMFS in NX 12.0.1
Before you open your part in 12.0.1 you should delete the SMFS...
Sorry Kenja, please take a look into tutorials, youtube, whatever and inform yourself about NX Sheet Metal. Sheet Metal parts are NOT Sheet Bodies, they are Solid Bodies too...
About the old Sheet Metal: I created some weeks ago in NX 6 a simple Sheet Metal part with the old commands (for test...
Hi Kenja,
forget it to try the "old" Sheet Metal. I don't know how official setting is or was. If you are really eager to know it, ask GTAC.
I agree totally with deedub777: Use the new Sheet Metal! If you have a Solid Body created in Modelling and you want to use it in Sheet Metal, switch the...
Hi Kenja,
starting with NX 3 SPLM introduced a new module called "NX Sheet Metal". The old in Modeling was called "Sheet Metal Design". Both modules existed in parallel for a while. In NX 9 (or 8.5) you had to set an environment variable that Sheet Metal Design was available. In NX 12 this is...
Hi John,
normally this should be a simple thing, e.g. with "Bend Taper" or "Normal Cutout", but then I tried this and failed.
It seems, NX Sheet Metal doesn't like the interfering webs of the flanges on the 2nd level. I see some workarounds:
- sometimes you can do a Bend Taper when you select...
Hi,
change to Application "NX Sheet Metal".
Insert -> Convert -> Convert to Sheet Metal
(hope this works)
Insert -> Flat Pattern -> Flat Pattern
The Flat Pattern philosophy in new NX Sheet Metal is completely different from old Sheet Metal Design. The FP is now associative to the body, does not...
