Hi,
I am having problems flattening a split pipe.
Basically what I have is a tapered tube (0.4 degrees of taper), with each end cut off at angles.
The tube itself was created by extruding a circular section using draft and then trimming it to angled planes. The split was created by extruding a very narrow cut at the shortest side of the tube.
For some reason NX won't let me convert it to sheet metal (error - "please select planar base face" when I select one of the faces from my rip). I really need this simple shape flattened so that I can cut it with laser and weld the loose ends together forming this shape.
I have attached the model as parasolid file.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you for your time.
