This article explains how to model a sheet metal starting from a LinearPath entity.
int thickness = 2;
int length = 120;
int heigth = 80;
int depth = 60;
int baseRadius = 5;
int bottomLength = 10;
int sideLength = 8;
int sideRadius = 3;
LinearPath lp = new LinearPath(new Point3D[]
{
new Point3D(0, 0, 0),
new Point3D(0, 0, heigth),
new Point3D(length, 0, heigth),
new Point3D(length, 0, 0),
});
// base flange
Brep sheet = lp.ExtrudeAsBrep(new Interval(0, depth), baseRadius, thickness);
// left bottom flange
int edgeIndex = sheet.GetEdgeIndex(new Point3D(thickness, 1, 0));
sheet.AddFlange(edgeIndex, 0.5, bottomLength, Math.PI);
// right bottom flange
edgeIndex = sheet.GetEdgeIndex(new Point3D(length - thickness, 1, 0));
sheet.AddFlange(edgeIndex, 0.5, bottomLength, Math.PI);
// front side flange
edgeIndex = sheet.GetEdgeIndex(new Point3D(baseRadius + 1, 0, heigth - thickness));
sheet.AddFlange(edgeIndex, sideRadius, sideLength, Math.PI / 2);
edgeIndex = sheet.GetEdgeIndex(new Point3D(baseRadius + 1, -sideRadius, heigth - (sideRadius + sideLength + thickness)));
sheet.AddFlange(edgeIndex, 1, 5, Math.PI / 2);
// rear side flange
edgeIndex = sheet.GetEdgeIndex(new Point3D(baseRadius + 1, depth, heigth - thickness));
sheet.AddFlange(edgeIndex, sideRadius, sideLength, Math.PI / 2);
edgeIndex = sheet.GetEdgeIndex(new Point3D(baseRadius + 1, depth + sideRadius, heigth - (sideRadius + sideLength + thickness)));
sheet.AddFlange(edgeIndex, 1, 5, Math.PI / 2);
// arc crossing hole
CompositeCurve cc = new CompositeCurve(new List<ICurve>(new ICurve[]
{
new Line(new Point3D(-5, 10, -10), new Point3D(-5, 10, heigth - 30)),
new Arc(new Plane(new Point3D(-5, 0, 0), Plane.YZ.AxisZ), new Point2D(depth / 2, heigth - 30), 20, 0, Math.PI),
new Line(new Point3D(-5, depth / 2 + 20, heigth - 30), new Point3D(-5, depth / 2 + 20, -10))
}));
sheet.ExtrudeRemove(new Region(cc), -150);
design1.Entities.Add(sheet, Color.Gray);
Comments
Are there any methods to create the geometry for the flat/unbent state of the flanges that were added?
No, sorry.
