sheet metal, bend, FEA

[FrancoisB]

Hi every body I have a simple problem but I'm not sure of my method is quick. I have a bend sheet metal and the bend of my conception is for rigidify the structure. And in the radius bend the metal change is proprieties. Me this is important beceause I have need deflection maximum. Me for the moment I take the sheet metal witout bend and bend it with FEA and reuse result for the next with some force. Do you know a better way.
