Creo Sheet Metal Flat Pattern

This work around is specifically geared toward maintaining a master rep as you default assembly part where the sheetmetal part remains in the formed condition by default.

Creo sheet metal flat pattern.

Overview this comprehensive suite of creo sheet metal design tools helps users create features such as walls bends punches notches forms and relief features. Value of bend deduction and flat pattern are shown in result section. Enter k factor values. And k factor value can be determined by calculating the position of neutral axis or bend allowance.

There is a way around this using simplified reps. Using a variety of y and k factor bend allowance calculations designers can create flat patterns of the designs. Whereas bend allowance can be calculated by using reverse engineering method. The master representation can remain in the formed bent state.

You can include the flat pattern representation in a combined view. As the default view is to have all features included it would mean that when you add a sheet metal part to an assembly it will be the flat pattern. Calculation of neutral axis position is a tough task. The flat pattern feature is persistent about being the last feature in a model tree.

Keep default values in calculator as zero. As the majority of our sheet metal parts are used in larger assemblies this method would not resolve the issue we are having. The result is parametric fully associative solid models of sheet metal parts and assemblies. Enter flange length internal radius and thickness values.

Flat pattern representations allow you to create a simplified representation of a sheet metal part in the flatten fully unbent state. Use k factor calculator to calculate k factor values.
