You can include the flat pattern representation in a combined view.
Creo sheet metal flat pattern.
Here are the steps to be followed to calculate sheet metal flat length.
Using a variety of y and k factor bend allowance calculations designers can create flat patterns of the designs.
Overview this comprehensive suite of creo sheet metal design tools helps users create features such as walls bends punches notches forms and relief features.
To sum up sheet metal flat pattern can be calculated using the k factor.
When you display combined views you can toggle between views and see how the flat piece is affected by modifications to the master representation.
Keep default values in calculator as zero.
As the majority of our sheet metal parts are used in larger assemblies this method would not resolve the issue we are having.
Enter k factor values.
Value of bend deduction and flat pattern are shown in result section.
And k factor value can be determined by calculating the position of neutral axis or bend allowance.
There is a way around this using simplified reps.
The master representation can remain in the formed bent state.
Use k factor calculator to calculate k factor values.
Whereas bend allowance can be calculated by using reverse engineering method.
The result is parametric fully associative solid models of sheet metal parts and assemblies.
The flat pattern feature is persistent about being the last feature in a model tree.
This work around is specifically geared toward maintaining a master rep as you default assembly part where the sheetmetal part remains in the formed condition by default.
Flat pattern representations allow you to create a simplified representation of a sheet metal part in the flatten fully unbent state.
