How to Track a Flat Iron on Spline

3D Design Volume Model

@Jean-Philippe

 

And you tried it or did you ask the question in advance?

 

Draw a sketch on your bottom face (perpendicular to your spline start), a second sketch where you retrieve your spline (Convert Sketch Entities), and then scan.

I have to enjoy it a little.

 

Almost alone (with Tomalam) among all these Solidworks.

Here I did a sweep it's OK thank you

@ Jean Philippe

 

You could also by a thin extrusion by selecting the edge of your spline and thicken

And for a mechanically welded element like angle or tube is it impossible to follow a spline? See an arc

but in bending because slwks offers me welded straight ends

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'm tired of not being able to put pictures  :-(

or to be able to put only one via the attached file :- (...:- (

@gt22

 

I don't know why, but on all your links, I have to copy and paste. There is no hyperlink.

 

When I put a link, I do Enter next. You should try.

I don't understand @ Benoit told me the same thing in PM

I just tried it and it works

I'm on W7 chrome

I copy the link and access it via the link

I only make copies of addresses without any intervention?

sorry I don't understand

when I posted a link was black

the other 2 blue

now they are all black it's C... t this thing ;-(

I trace it back to Clementine

@+ ;-)

Totally agree @s.b, I pointed out to him yesterday, great minds meet!

Hi all

 

I may be off topic but I don't understand why you can't make a spline-based sheet metal and then unfold it.

At home its walking but I may have misunderstood the problem.

well the links are blue now so visible live I think oufffff...........

that's the bit of this story

Nothing to understand

@ alexandre your piece is simple it is flat perpendicular to the folds

but on a piece with veil you do how do you do it?

Look at my previous images

@+ ;-)

36

Yes, that's what I was saying, I'm off topic, but in fact I based myself on the image of Bart's answer, which by the way is the best answer. 

I don't understand why he creates an extrusion boss and converted it into sheet metal...

Anyway, sorry.

@gt22

 

After with the veil it works too... No?

and you can unfold?

@+ ;-)

@alexandre. In sheet metal, the only 2 ways to use a spline are conversion to sheet metal (@Bart method) and transition bend (your method).

 

I think that there must not be many of you to use this "transition fold" function as a sheet metal part base, in general it is rather "Folded Base Sheet/Leg" or "Insert Folds" on a volume.
