We got this wonky lookin' part as a step file saved from catia, one of my coworkers was able to convert it to sheet metal but can't flatten it completely, or unfold one particular bend. I'm not sure what the problem is, can anyone help?
Also, if anyone happens to know some good thread here on importing a step file of a bent sheet metal part and converting it to sheet metal in SWX so that it can be flattened, it would be some great reading material for me.
Many thanks in advance!
Will,, I don't think you will find much as how to do a feature recognition on this.. I did manage to do some offset surfaces of 0 on this. One surface I had to create. Some funny stuff going on here with this surface. I did attempt to fix the imported geometry with import diagnostics but quickly gave up on that..
Fix that surface, knit, thicken and then an insert bends.
