Variable radius

[simongreengrass]

Please could someone tell me how to generate a bend with a constantly varying radius along its length. Ive tried to generate it using a punch but I keep getting the error message 'cannot intersect feature'.

Could you post an image, so I can see what you mean.

I am trying to make the top bend have a variable radius along its length. Thanks.

Is the dimension a driving dimension?

Ive now managed to do it. I modelled it as a solid protrusion with the varying radius then when converting to sheet metal shelled the part.


Thanks.

When you highlight the edge that you want to round...it will throw a value on the edge with 2 small boxes (drag handles) and 1 small circle, if you right mouse on this circle, you get the option to "Add Radius"
