mudguard flat pattern

Hi,

On the attached photograph I want to model the mudguard.

Any ideas how I would go about it?

My aim in to achieve a flat pattern sheetmetal part.

Thanks in advance.

@Anonymous What version of Inventor?

It looks like a simple contour flange with a cut for the tank circle taken out of it..

Should be very simple..

If you let us know the version of Inventor you are using someone can provide a simple part for you to copy..

Can you attach the *.ipt file of your attempt (just an attempt, doesn't have to be all that close to finished)?

Hi dilivio,

See the attached Inventor 2015 file, for an example of one method of doing this. Note that you can suppress the feature called Split2 if the fender is meant to be more fully wrapped around as one piece.

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis
