Creating an extruded length of corrugated steel

[Anthony]

I have a question regarding the best way to model a sheet of corrugated steel. I would guess the easiest and quickest method would be to create a profile curve, offset a thickness and extrude this to the desired length. I was wondering how would I go about sketching out an accurate profile curve that could be used to create the form? Many thanks

See JD's solution using contour flange.

I feel like I must be missing something?

Did you open the file?

You should be able to reverse engineer any Inventor part file - simply edit the sketches and features.

I recommend you stop whatever you are doing and at least go through the Help>Learning Tools>Tutorials and Skillbuilders.

Then search classes here http://au.autodesk.com

Then search Google on Rob Cohee Inventor YouTube

Then search www.amazon.com for a book.

You might also sign up for a class.

Start sheet metal part.

Sketch single line profile.
