It allows you to determine either the size of raw material needed or the number of gore sections to fit on your available material.
Cone inventor sheet metal.
Sheet metal bend zone edit specifies the facet control type and parameter for a bend zone within a lofted flange feature.
Under sheet metal parameters.
Sheet metal lofted flange dialog box creates a shape between two sketched profiles.
Sheet metal cone calculator.
The bug seems to be with a cone that has an included developed angle of more than 60 degrees.
Sheet metal bend zone edit reference edits the bend radius and unfold rule for a bend within a specified bend zone of a lofted flange.
When flattened this creates a swept angle measured between the flat cut ends of the plate of more than 180 degrees.
Understanding the rules for inventor sheet metal opens up the entire toolbox of tools rather than limiting the user to those tools designated as sheet metal.
The layout may either be done on the material.
Select keep body if you want to keep the solid body to use in another convert to sheet metal feature.
When cleared the body is consumed by the convert to sheet metal feature.
As you create flanges and add bends the sheet metal design software will accurately represent the flat pattern required.
Set the sheet thickness and default bend radius.
View the cone instructions below to learn how to manually layout the flat pattern for a truncated cone in single or multiple gore sections.
Select a face as the fixed face for the sheet metal part.
Uniform thickness planar faces connected with cylindrical or conic bends br non intersecting faces in folded or.
Sheet metal design software considers the fabrication methods needed for manufacturing.
In the example shown in the 2 videos the included angle is around 76 degrees and the flat part swept angle is around 222 degrees.
Simply use care to create valid geometry.
