Just wanted to update you on this.
Creo 3 0 sheet metal forming.
In the creation.
It wont allow you to add the bend back after the flat pattern.
Convert a part to sheet metal.
You used to be able to bring in iges data before wildfire 3 0 learn to manage import geometry from various 3d software packages such as alias studio rhino 3d and or solidworks.
E t t.
Ptc creo parametric includes integrated tools that speed the design of sheet metal parts and with creo 3 0 there have been some significant enhancements.
Creo does not recognize the part when trying to convert it to sheet metal as picking driving surface.
One way to do it of course it is to convert it as a surface copy surfaces convert to sheet metal and use offset tool.
Looks like this loophole is fixed in creo 3 0 and it doesn t work.
With creo 4 now it s just as easy.
Idd import data doctor.
Take your products from concept to digital prototype efficiently precisely and intuitively with creo on the cutting edge of cad for more than 30 years.
Now that you have a sheet metal part just go to the edit bend.
For this example to the part has designed roller forming.
Creo 7 0 has breakthrough innovations in the areas of generative design real time simulation multibody design additive manufacturing and others.
All other factors influencing sheet metal forming we should recall that a sheet metal forming operation can always be from the conceptual point of view divided in two stages.
So it looks like i wont be able to use this once we go to creo 3 0.

Ptc creo parametric 3 0 has seen a number of improvements to its sheet metal design capabilities including.
Flat pattern preview the new flat pattern preview function allows users to view a 2d representation of the flattened sheet metal part along with its overall dimensions in a small embedded window alongside the 3d design.
See convert a solid part into a sheet metal part for details.
0 can be computed from basic rules of mechanics.
But then the inner surface between the roller features leaves out.
Just convert the imported 3d model into a creo sheet metal part by defining a driving surface and you re ready to go.
Even in the simp rep state it is still placed before the flat pattern.
