    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

    you mean an aluminium icebox with gas passages winding along/through it?
    you may want to make a simple sheetmetal object first with folds/hems/holes
    etc and then apply embossed features to it.maybe you will have to make a 2
    part assy -an inside and outside for bonding together-sheetmetal multibody
    isn't supported

    Are you looking for an evap unit, the entire system or the compressor? I have a drawing of one manufacturers evap only unit
    in three different sizes. The one I have is about 10" wide by about 20' lg that's sheet metal with tubes attached, then bent
    and formed.
