Central stringer unscrewed

Hello

For several days now, I've been tearing my hair out trying to design a staircase with a central stringer unscrewed, without success.

The idea is simple, I would like to have the lengths of tubes and the developed of the 4 sheets that reconstitute the stringer at the place where it "rotates".

Can you tell me a method to follow to achieve this please?

I think I'll use a 160x80x3 tube and 3mm sheet metal. I use solidworks 2011.

In advance, thank you!

Damien

Hello

could you put your piece in the post because I believe there is a problem with STEP. I can't seem to download it.

Good evening, and thank you for your answer.

here is a new version of the STEP file.

Maybe it's easier in IGS?

I just downloaded your STEP, there is no silt in your file.

Hello 

To do this, I use a propeller and a surface scan. Then I split the surfaces and thicken them. I finish by converting it into sheet metal and then unfolding. The unfolded ones are relatively accurate. The few defects that there are corrected by clamping and welding during manufacturing.

Indeed, I didn't put any stringer on the WWTP because no "conclusive" test...

I tried your method, Yves, but I can't get the shape I wanted. There must be a parameter to use so that the curve does not rotate the rectangle...

hello Yves.T, how do you do the conversion to sheet metal after the thickness of the surface?

It asks me to select a flat or fixed face or a linear edge on a cylindrical end face..... PFFF

I'm stuck...
