NX 7.5 - Converting simple curve model into sheet metal.

[Digitaltom]

Hey Guys,

Searching for an answer to my question and stumbled onto this forum and have now joined!...anyway:

Attached is a simple model curve created In modelling that I'm trying to convert into a sheet metal version, this will allow me to flatten the model etc.

Thanks, Tom

That is a sheet metal part, but not the "press brake" type that the sheet metal package is made to deal with. The part that you have is made by rolling.

Thanks for the fast reply,

I've now managed to do it, using the link you sent me and the "contour flange" tool.

Cheers!
