flatten a solid?

[SIMON7]

hello to everyone, this is my first post so be understanding!

I have a fairly urgent problem, I have created a body not in sheet metal that now I need to develop on floor. the body will be made of sheet metal using a mold, for this and because of the geometry of the object I did not use the environment sheet of sw.
How can I do to flatten it?
use sw2010

attached the .sldprt that I must flatten

the problem is in the warp change zone, which causes your piece to be created only as funnel (deformation) and not with simple bending.
you would need a program like blankworks or logopress to get the development (approximate) of the piece.

if you want a council, remove the unbutted part and develop (with the command insert folds). the other part, being imbuted, you can replace it with a "approximate" area to be determined only after doing some tests on the mold.

logopress in fact gives you a "maximum" development that you will need to refine with practice. No program will ever take into account the actual working conditions of the mold and give you a tenth development. only for certain works (carrozzeria) other programs (autoform) allow to have satisfactory results, but at very little affordable prices.

you have perfectly centered the problem, which is obviously in the part that I define final of the particular, regarding the rest in fact the solution you have suggested is the same that I had hypothesized too.
from what I understand therefore it is not possible from sw to create the development of that area?
I'm looking for those two programs you're talking about and I see what you can do.

In the meantime, thank you! if I get some good results. . .

summary of previous bets:
hio called my assistance for sw, after consulting logopress3 and blankworks sites and confirmed that for what I have to do in fact, the two solutions are those already suggested by oldwarper, that is these third-party software, although goldpartners.
At this point, since my firm does not deal with this kind of thing and I strongly doubt that in the future this problem arises, I ask some willing if it can help me with this development.
I thank you in advance. . .

I attach the piece developed with logopress. take it exclusively as an example and as a point to make the first tests.

I inform you that logopress also does a paid advisory service for the development of single pieces. you see it is worth it for single pieces of difficult development. iho if the pieces are simple, with few attempts managed to obtain good results also "hand".

the investment in logopress is not irrelevant, both as cost and as training and is only worth it if you exploit it.

Well in the meantime I thank you x speed, then I want to assure you that I will be careful to consider reliable a development made by the first passing!:biggrin:

In fact I really needed something initial, to consider that it is an object to produce in wool, so what does not work will most likely add it to them with chisel and hammer!

ps: I have heard of some producer who, in order to demonstrate the goodness of his software, aims to develop some test files for free, is it possible such a thing? Does anyone know anything about it? could come back useful to everyone who like me happens to have to do such a job once every 2 or 3 years?

Of course, but you don't have to take advantage of it. They know very well that "some" use the demonstrators to make orders, no longer call them. You do one, but then if you spread your voice (you don't know how the voices run between competitors...) you "sleep" and besides making a barbi figure no longer lends itself to the game. only if you really feel interested in buying (and they first "worn" if you need it or not...) can help you perform more than one piece and verify it with you.

more likely than the piece will pay you. most retailers also do as a "service" using the poducts they sell. I think it's not crazy.

Well, let's just say, it's not the case of exposing for so little. even our retailer sw has offered to develop the model using its own logopress ( unfortunately I knew too late) that they use to give an opinion to their customers, so in the future, if it happens again, I will exploit them because we pay them fragrantly every year for their "services"

for me anyway problem solved, thank you!

Good. Say hello to Alex and Devis (I think I know the dealer:wink
