I read the bend operations, but I had trouble bend different thin volumes together.
Say I have two adjacent volume, I hope they are bent w.r.t same axis, root point and radius. When I try
tweak volume 1 2 root ...
they don’t lie on the same Cylindrical plane. Is there other ways to bend thin volumes / 2D sheets?
Hi @WayneYY ,
could you share the geometry please.
Bending 2 volumes at the same time should be possible.
reset
create brick width 11 height 1
create brick width 1 depth 10 height 10
create brick width 1 depth 10 height 10
create brick width 1 depth 10 height 10
move body 2 general location position -3 5 0
move body 3 general location position 0 5 0
move body 4 general location position 3 5 0
subtract body 2 from body 1
subtract body 3 from body 1
subtract body 4 from body 1
webcut body 1 with plane xplane offset 0
compress
tweak volume 1 2 bend root 0 0 0 axis 1 0 0 direction 0 0 -1 radius 1 angle 3.14 location vertex 5 28 20 12

Thank for your reply.
I hope to bend 2 (or more) volumes when treating them as one sheet.
For example, for 4 adjacent volumes
reset
create brick width 1 depth 10 height 10
create brick width 1 depth 10 height 10
create brick width 1 depth 10 height 10
create brick width 1 depth 10 height 10
move volume 1 general location position 0 5 5
move volume 2 general location position 0 -5 5
move volume 3 general location position 0 5 -5
move volume 4 general location position 0 -5 -5
can I bend them as if they are one volume
create brick width 1 depth 20 height 20
Yes that seems to work. Just make sure that the root lies within a volume.
tweak volume 1 2 3 4 bend root 0 -5 0 axis 0 0 1 direction 1 0 0 radius 5 angle 3.14 location vertex 3 12 24 31
