Developing a sheet metal from a spline shape with solidworks

3D Design Volume Model

Hello 

 

I would like to have the development of a strip of sheet metal bent in some form of spline type but solidworks only manages the spokes.

 

Does anyone have a tip? Maybe to convert the spline into a sequence of rays?

Hello

 

try to have at least one flat part to fix a face, then with the unfold function, you fix your small flat part and you list the curved folds and it's ok

I will also say that it would be good to have an idea of the shape of the piece, or even the room if possible...

it would help to give the best possible answers :-)

Indeed, it will be more meaningful with an overview

 

dpusel: I tried the usual sheet metal functions, the spline is not recognized. 

 

I think we should be able to convert this spline into a series of rays, but how?!

Hello

 

With the transition fold function it works!

See attached file!

Well seen the coyote!

 

I hadn't thought of this function!
