Bye to all,
I am trying to extrude a sheet using the loft and after getting from inventor the development... only that if I use the loft the sheet metal changes thick along the profile and inventor does not give me development.

How can I do that?

In the attached dwg you will find the starting sections and the object that I would like to obtain (I got it with the loft but clearly I do not fit:( )

helpppp me

thanks for the help and greetings

procedure I did:
- I created the final and initial section
- with offset on the sections I created the thickness of the sheet
- with loft I got the two solids
- I boleanly subtracted to the external solid the inner one thus obtaining the "lamiera"
 
I train you half a sheet... maybe someone can tell me in inventor how to extrude on this surface.

with thicken I got a solid thickness 0.5 (a thicker I was mistaken) ... but in inventor still does not give me development!

see the annex.

I'm afraid you'll have to do the development manually. All in all is a feasible thing

but why do you draw it in autocad and then import it into inventor?
I think it makes no sense. Since in inventor you have the sheet metal environment that is made for this type of work... :rolleyes:

Bye!

I don't think it's correct.

create the surface from the open curves, the offset will be the thickening itself, in this way you will be sure to get the same thickness everywhere.
 
I did so:
- created with loft the internal solid
- I exploded the solid and took the surfaces.
- I inspected the surfaces and got the solid sheet
- I imported the .sat in inventor ... but still does not give me development!!! !

see dwg attached!

But isn't there two different twisting rays along the same inventor fold doesn't give me development?

the surface always creates it with the loft, starting from the two sections. . .

double curvature surfaces, those that are "imbutite" are not conventionally developed. (e.g. the sphere, whose development is approaching method)
 
I have no inventor on this workstation, so I used rhino to make the development of the outer surface.

attach the native 3dm file and dwg

Thank you very much!!! with rhino it is easy to get developments because I have never tried. a curiosity, as never there is an extra piece in development (the right part formed by squares!)

Thanks again
 
I have verified the length of the developed and original edges; the figures correspond with a tolerance to the centimeter.

the procedure seems correct therefore, but at first (s)vista(?) seems an extra piece, it is true
 
It is not more... the software simply attacked the piece straight to an extreme of development. .

to do it symmetrically, you have to split the extra piece in half and stick that half to the other extreme :d

However an image is worth a thousand words, tiè :d

I was just writing that by putting the lines of the folds I just missed a little bit.... :p
