Hi, is there a way to flatten a face/surface in NX? SolidWorks has begun to offer this feature since 2014 and makes me wonder if NX is catching up to that.
Thanks!
I haven't tried that, but my guess is it might not be possible since SW asks for a linear edge to keep stationary when flattening. But it easily flattens anything else that complies with this rule of thumb by meshing the surface and then rolling the mesh down.
It is able to do it with complex surfaces too, it allows the mesh to strech and compress in these regions. The good thing about that is that I could use it to create the flat pattern of the parasolid file I have attached in my other thread (NX10 sheet metal puzzle) since the sheet metal application in SW was unable to produce such outcome. I was hoping I could at least use the same approach with NX. But I will have to take a look a the file you have attached there before that. Thank you.
