I got a feeling that it won t be able to bend like this because of the interference but i am not sure exactly how the press machine works.
Solidworks sheet metal bend less than 90.
In this tutorials you will learn how to utilize sheetmetal tool such insert bend and flaten.
To use something other than the default bend radius clear use default radius and use gauge table if a sheet metal gauge table has been selected for the part and set bend radius.
Under bend edges select the model edges that will form bends.
Use line sketch l shape dimension sketch with smart dimension as 1in x 1in.
I have been working on a large piece of aluminium sheet metal and i was wondering if it is possible to bend like this.
We will learn sheet metal basic features like base flange edge flange sketched bend and extruded cut in solidworks sheet metal.
We are going to review three bending scenarios with three different bending angles.

Click front plane and click on sketch.
Select keep body if you want to keep the solid body to use in another convert to sheet metal feature.
To use something other than the default bend allowance select custom bend allowance and set a bend allowance type and value.
The tangent bend option is valid for bends that are greater than 90ยบ and lets you use the tangent length of a flange as the basis for the length calculation.

The unit is in mm and it is 2mm thick aluminium.
Select a face as the fixed face for the sheet metal part.
Solidworks tutorial sheet metal edge flange.
You can type the tangent length without using additional calculations.
