The shape below is being modeled using the Sheetmetal function. ( Based on modeling with creo 3.0 )
The shape of the part where the gas is introduced in the middle protrudes in both directions based on the central axis.
This figure was modeled by me, and was modeled using the Extrude and Bend functions.
However, in this way, it is easy to model in one direction based on the center axis, but it is not possible to do both directions.
If I dare to model like the picture above, I can do Sketch -> Extrude -> Bend in the opposite direction, but it is too cumbersome. Is there any easy way to do it??
Solved! Go to Solution.
I can't tell for sure with your model, but if there is symmetry, you can use one of the many mirror functions. Mirror features, or mirror bodies, or create surfaces of the appropriate area and mirror that. Obviously if it is not symmetric, that won't work. Also, you can create symmetric portions like the louvers first, mirror those areas, then build the remaining geometry that is not symmetric.

Thanks for your answer.
I will try the way you replied.😄
I would suggest creating a form to create the louvers. You may be able to make a form for one louver and pattern it for one direction and flip it over or mirror it for the other direction.
Thanks a lot!!!
For the top and bottom pieces, I'd say no, and not just in Creo. From what I see, the geometry is wrong for a formed sheet metal part, unless you're welding in the dividers.
thank you for the reply.
