Does anyone have any experience creating an evaporator model? You know, the
thing in your fridge with the bosses all over it. My goal is to model it up
as a flat part (sheet metal) and then bend it accordingly. My approach has
been:
creat a sheet say 10 x 40 .
then sweep a profile on the face to create the ridge.
shell the thickness of original sheet to create the void. mirror the
features to create the chamber.
make it a sheet metal part. attempt to bend it with a 1-2 in radius.
no luck with the last.
I new before i got to the last item it was going to be too complex as i am
attempting to fold material back on itself but i had to try. models and
drawings avail if need TIA
