![]() That's pretty easy to unfold.ģ) Flat Pattern: if you have a part that follows the above rules, then you can pick a reference face, (your inner face) and create a flat pattern/unrolled version. This is why you'd have to split off the flange of your part, and just look at the cylinder portion with the oil grooves. ![]() Anything more complicated than that results in hard math, and the engine won't like it. Essentially, if you're bending a flat strip, then the inner face gets compressed, and the outer face gets stretched a bit as you bend it. You can read up more on the specifics, but here's the quick overview.ġ) Thickness: When a sheet metal part is created, it's assumed that it's cut from a sheet of consistent thickness, and the sheet metal rule uses a parameter named 'Thickness'.Ģ) Material deformation: The sheet metal engine has a very limited ability to be able to stretch/deform material. There are a couple of caveats, if you're not used to working in the Sheet Metal environment. That's the only workflow *that I'm familiar with* that will let you create a Flat Pattern of a part. ![]() JD's suggestion is based on using Sheet Metal tools.
