How to but a bend into a peice of angle iron
How to but a bend into a peice of angle iron
(OP)
Hi,
I have made a piece of angle iron from some sheet metal with a sketched 90 bend. All very simple..... I now want to bend the angle iron round a radius. Easy I thought....just put a nother stetched bend in ....set the radius and voila..........but you guessed it 'the computer says no'.......
Does anyone have any ideas how I can create the desired result....?

ie. The notch at the bend has to be such that only the flat portion is being bent.

SW sheetmetal functionality is based on simple line bends. When forming comes into play, it cannot accurately handle the operation. In the real world, you will probably make the angle and then roll the angle into a radius.
The rolling is a forming operation that involves a lot of stretching.
