unfolding sheets

[rr79]

Hello,
Does anyone know if it is possible to unfold a cylindrical sheet in OSDM 11.6? The entire face of the object is curved at a constant radius of 75 inches for an arc length of 31.

I realize that it is quite easy to replicate the sheet as a flat sheet since I already know the arc length of the object, but I was wondering if OSDM has functionality that will allow a user flatten this object.

I know that I can flatten a sheet that has a bend between to flat surfaces but I can't seem to flatten just a sheet, which is curved.


Thanks

Hallo,

you can.

For the base sheet click one of the side faces which have a linear edge
with the cylindrical face.

Remark: The base face must not necessarily be tangential to the bend. It
just needs a common straight edge with the bend face.

Hope this helps,

Mario
