Pb on a conversion from surface to sheet metal

3D Design Volume Model

Hi everyone,

 

Here's my problem: I can't convert the attachment into sheet metal (it's a piece created in surface)... if anyone has the trick????

 

Thank you for aance

As far as I know, you can only convert solid metal to sheet metal

so maybe thicken your piece

as I haven't seen your future version file

maybe my answer is out

indeed I thickened, taking in addition sheet metal rules but he doesn't want to know anything...

Hello

Once thickened, how do you unfold it? By a conversion to sheet metal, or by inserting the folds?

On your surface, you could try to repair it to get a volume body. It could be better.

Like @gt22, I couldn't open your piece in SW, just eDrawing. So I don't know your tree.

Attached is the tree structure.

With SW2015 you can now unfold surfaces!!

I unfolded it for you, it's gifts!

Hello

Normally, this is possible if you use the sewn surface function (see link: http://help.solidworks.com/2014/french/SolidWorks/sldworks/HIDD_DVE_KNIT_SURFACE.htm )

And once we've sewn all the surfaces, it's no longer a surface for SolidWorks and it should be able to convert it into sheet metal.

Thank you frederic, but I can't open your file!!

Hello

For me this piece is not foldable in sheet metal because of the "tendril" of the surfaces.

But a sheet metal expert like Bart will certainly respond very quickly

Frederic, I just reopened your new file and I have a surface on the side???

This is the surface you sewed, but laid flat by SW.

Well, I managed to open it by removing the discontinuity but I still can't convert to sheet metal !!

No, I opened it in 2014 but I think you tried to launch the function recognition, that's why he retranslated your STEP.

Open it simply to have the surface flat but not a sheet metal unfold....
