modeling sheet inventor

[ironlomo]

Good evening to all,
I immediately ask you my problem:
I have to draw a series of sheet metal vases, imagine a kind of hexagonal-based flower vase and composed of six strips of sheet metal.

You have to create practically six stripes that develop upwards with variable curvatures.

I tried n times with inventor but I practically can't "can" the strip, or the drawing already bent or I don't know how to do it. drawing it bent I need practically nothing because I need the exact development.

I attach you a sort of site for example. . .http://www.poligoni.eu/metalkreaonde.html

premise:
If you want developments, you must have the various faces "only" fallen and not
Wraped or more exactly the axes of the curvatures must be parallel, but inv does not develop anything.
I tell you my method:
forget for now the sheet module and create a solid with the shape of the inside your vase.
- On the top you do a sketch with the circular opening and with the command "divid" use this sketch to cut the upper face.
-Delete the circular face with the "elimina face" command.
you have "stapped" your solid that is now no longer a solid but a compound of surfaces.
go to parameters and create a custom parameter that you call p.es. "sick pot" and give him the thickness you need.
at this point you start with the sheet:
created a new sheet file.
click on model, and use the derived command to derive the previous file with the surfaces, during the derivation operation also derives the custom parameter "pot thickness".
always in model use the command "experiment" and thicken the surface of one side of your vase, giving as a thickness "pot thick".
return to "lamiera" and give here as a thickness your parameter "pot thickness".
If you have nothing wrong, it should develop the side of your vase.
created other sheet files, one for each side of your vase and repeat derivative and thickening operations; or better, save with the name of your first sheet file,click with the right in the browser on the thickening command choose edit, and change the surface to thicken.
at this point you can make the axieme of your vase:biggrin:
it seems complicated, but once you take your hand is fast, and it has the immense advantage that if you want to change profiles or thickness to your object, you go to do it on the initial file, the one with the surfaces, and automatically you update everything else.:finger:

Thank you so much! I tried but zero less, I do the procedure you described but when I click on go to flat model it just makes me see the solid face, the back practically... I don't understand where I can go wrong. . .

But is the face that makes you see or is it still "calandrated"?
post files if you want us to take a look at them.. .

great tarkus, I feel like reading myself. the method you described.
In my opinion, the problem that has ironlom is that, unlike the pot in the photo that has all flat faces, he has to make bombed faces. If it were so difficult inventor will be able to spy on them.
cmq we wait to see the models....

:biggrin: I thank you for the "great", although I assure you, I am less "great" than you think.:biggrin:
however it was in the premises of my post:
faces with curves by rolling (calandering) around a parallel axis and axes. As it seems to see in the picture, if it's not like that, there's no inventor I keep. :frown: unfortunately also for us!:smile:
