elliptical sheet

[cimaguy]

Good morning, everyone.
excuse the question, perhaps trivial, but if I have to make a sheet part (like the one in the image) starting from an elliptical profile, can I not use the command " edge flange" to realize the vertical tab? What approach do you recommend?
Thank you.

It's correct that you can't use a sheet command on a nonlinear profile body because in reality you can't get it by bending.
how to proceed depends on how you want to get it physically in reality.

Thanks for the answer.
In practice I want to get , with a laser cut, an elliptical sheet that has vertical tabs along the profile..I thought I would use the sheet commands because I need the development of these tabs on the floor, so I could provide a cutting profile ..

but those vertical tabs cannot be folded because you cannot bend a curved edge; the fold is obtained by interposing to the stinged sheet and matrix that are straight, so it is obvious that the fold will return a straight edge. So I repeat, how do you want to get the particular?
Want to weld the tab? make a metal sheet and back sales
Do you want to make fold tabs? your elittic sheet should be made with n straight edges to be able to fold the linghettes; It goes as if the more straight strokes you will get closer to the elliptical form, but you will also have a greater number of folds to do.

Okay, I get it. we say that it was a single piece, I was asked for a profile developed on the plane that included both the ellipse and the rectangles of the tabs (which in total would be 4).
not being a precision work, the operator would then fold them by hand.

thanks for the Massivonweizen suggestion. I solved as you said: in correspondence of the tabs I approximated the ellipse to lines and so "flangy of the edge" works.
Thank you.
