Advanced sheet metal modeling
Hi there,
So I have a question for the GRABCAD community.
Do you guys know how to model up a sheet metal in a bend and rolled or formed like a pneumatic bulker tank in images attached.
I am a bit curious how you will do this.
Let I hear what you have to say in the commends down below.

I would draw the round profile and extrude it, then I would create reference planes to go back and and do cut extrudes to cut the angles at the front and back how it tapers. If I am understanding your question correctly
i don't think this can be done as one sheet. it's easier to do it in two parts, the center round tank, the lower section, either front or rear and mirror it to the other side. For the lower part, you can try to extrude it based on the outline of the shape you cut out and then convert it to sheet metal.
