The process of defining a simplified representation of a sheet metal part in the flatten state, while having the master representation in the formed (bent) state is simplified. You can easily switch from a bent to a flattened state when modeling a sheet metal part. No additional Windchill business object is created or required.
The process is outlined below:
Create a flat pattern preview.
Create a representation.
Name the representation.
Select the newly created representation.
Activate the new simplified representation.
