Is it possible to bend a square tube in the way shown in this video using Solidworks? SolidWorks Bending a Square Tube - YouTube.
I am unable to reduce the "X" distance to zero in Pro E WF 5.0 and this value does not go below a certain value depending on the Tube cross section dimensions.
 
You should be able to use a spinal bend on that. I'm sure there are some good tutorials on that out there.
 
Thanks Doug for your suggestion. I tried to bend the square tube using Spinal Bend option but in vain. There were all sorts of errors- Self intersecting geometry, Surfaces getting inverted etc.
