And is it impossible to follow a profiler on a spline? or I have to make curve sections.

You need to do curve sections.
More precisely, you need arcs of a circle.

The splines are too random to be able to rate them afterwards.
Solidworks therefore does not manage it.
Sorry

Are you talking about the "scanning" function?
It's possible but like Bart it's a little more random than adjoining arcs
Ok in the sweep function, but for sheet metal, impossible.
The Folded Base/Tab Sheet function will not be done

We agree, not in sheet metal.
But we can use a spline based on an arc structure by the spline adjustment.
Yes, but the question concerns a flat iron. So sheet metal.
Apart from making a boss and then converting it into sheet metal.
But it is not possible to unfold...
See opposite

It is not a question of flat iron but of profile and therefore not necessarily of sheet metal
EDIT: mea culpa ^^
If @Tomalam the title does indeed talk about flat iron. It can also be artistic ironwork! And why not! (look at this one: http://www.beta.lynkoa.com/forum/3d/comment-faire-un-plat-avec-une-torsade-en-tolerie)
But hey, we'll wait for @jean-philippe, he's in the best position to tell us what he's waiting for!
I think I understand your problem why you can't take your spline as a guide
The problem occurs when the curves of your spline have a radius that perplexes the bending of your profile
(it comes into conflict) the outer skin wrinkles and at some point the log doesn't want to do it anymore
The bending radius of your guide curve is proportional to the cross-section of the profile
- Screenshot post
- of your side splines if possible
- of your profile if possible
enlarge your shelves and it will pass or change the section of your profile
A trick that works a little better and we go further
go to surface
with several sketches of the profile on the guide curve
and pass on to a smoothed surface
then just thicken or fill
That's all for now

For me, it's for ironwork or flat bending, but you'll have to make a plan of this dish and therefore dimension it.... It's doable, but less accurate with a spline.
The development of the dish can be interesting for its manufacture.

@s.b: Yes, but Créo is on top, it's well known ;)
Here we are on Solidworks!
Hello
I'm not sure if my post will be useful, but I do this kind of thing for my work because I draw stairs.
To make this kind of profile (balance spring handrails), I draw an elipse on which I follow a profile.
Apart from the problem of the sheet metal "or I don't know if it works" it doesn't seem too complicated to me.
Kind regards

What do you think of all this@Jean-Philippe. @gt22 raises an important point about the mini department!

There you go, the flat iron must follow this spline at 90° in relation to the sheet metal

@ sb to the answer of your drawing
On solidworks it's also possible as long as an order is flat
the only thing for the moment that is not possible at least I couldn't
it's converting to sheet metal when no edge is flat
@+ ;-)
I tried the gt22 technique...
Without success.
Maybe I missed something.
For me in sheet metal, as soon as there are splines, I let it go^^
I match arcs of circles and I get as close as possible to the splines and I make all my arcs tangent to each other.
Benoit, take care of you:p ^^
