Hi Thiru...

First, you'll need to create a rip down one of the seams of your blend to "open-up" the geometry. Second, it helps to have either rounds or edge bends down the 4 "corners" of your part to help the geometry unbend. Finally, you'll likely have some crazy non-ruled surfaces to deal with (which is what S.Iyers' video link deals with).

If you have a part, please upload it so other users can take a crack at unbending it. Also... which version of Pro/ENGINEER or Creo are you using?

Thanks!

Dear Brian Martin,

I have attached the part file of the component which I gave earlier as jpg. I am currently using pro E wildfire 5.0. so iyer's video didnot help me.
