Catia R19 - Bracket 5

[CAD2015]

Hi,
How would you create (other than using Sheet Metal features) the bracket attached to this message?
I have a few ideas but I'd like to know your options as well.
Thanks

OK Ferdinand.........
I got the picture.
Very useful reply, thanks a lot.
I should have told you that the Bracket shouldn’t be 100% accurate.....
Your input is great, as always…….( NX este specialitatea mea).

Ferdinand, another info...
I have to admit that I try to avoid GSD. That;s because I can't handle this tfeature good enough......

Am s-o deschid acasa...e timpul sa plec. Tu nu dormi, inca?

No problem, a little practice can help you to create parts much easier in GSD (sorry, no experience in NX ).

Here is the problem zone in GSD (much closer then PartDesign, yellow wall - just one - is GSD). Sunt pasare de noapte

Thanks begnor ,
You have very good skils!
Thanks Ferdo, I've learned something else today from you!

You can create a very high-fidelity model of this part using 2D/3D curves and surfaces in CATIA V5 with GSD. In fact, this is the way formed sheet metal brackets were modeled back when we used good old CATIA V4. The images posted by ferdo show just how difficult it can be to create an accurate wireframe and surface definition of a complex formed sheet metal part. Even the last (yellow) image he posted of the bracket did not look like it was a 100% accurate representation of how the formed sheet metal bracket would appear. But like I said, it is not easy to accurately model this type of part.

Thanks Tbuelna!

Here is a GSD modelled part.

It's not quit sized correctly but it's all constrained in a fairly robust manner and should be easy to change to suit in minutes.
