Converting From Solids

This tutorial covers the conversion of Solid Geometry in ProEngineer Sheet Metal parts focusing on creating the proper rips and releif for developing a Flat Pattern.

One valuable technique for creating ProEngineer Sheet Metal parts within ProEngineer is the ability to convert Solid Models into ProEngineer Sheet Metal models. This 27 page tutorial will teach you how to effectively convert a solid model and allow for proper relief during the conversion process. Terms covered include Corner Relief, Point Relief, Edge Rip, and Rip Connect.

Understanding proper relief is critical to converting and flattening these models. The user will learn proper relief through several examples utilizing many different relief techniques. Upon completion, you should feel comfortable in converting parts into ProEngineer Sheet Metal and have a solid understanding of what to do if your model has problems during the conversion process.
