Unfolding a ferrule via the sheet metal module - SolidWorks

Hi all

Today, I'm tackling a ferrule!

How do you convert an extruded part (a tube) into sheet metal in order to define a cut and have the flattening?

Thank you!

Aurélien

Hi Aurélien,

If it's a tube that has a cutout, you use the function: Insert folds and you select the edge of the cut.

 

I hope that's what you want

Hello

Be careful, of course, the tube must have an opening!

Thank you Mick, I tested it and it works!

I'm testing on the 2014 so I can't open your file ;)!

 

Thank you .PL, I'll go through this question ;)!
