    Hi,
    I have at hand a fairly complex weldment which is a space frame
    chassis..
    What i want to do is to isolate individual members of the space frame
    and unfold them so as to help us manufacture these perfectly. Isolate
    works in the weldment but we are unable to save the isolated part as a
    separate or unfold the isolated file.

    Any ideas?
    Someone suggested we export to rinho and use rinho anyone know how
    exactly is this done.

    Thanks,
    Mahek Mody

    You can only "unfold" developable surfaces.
    Some fake this but the results are always quite
    inexact.
    The best bet is a non-linear FEM package IIRC.
    LS-Dyna?
