Sheet Metal Band - Please Help

[Anonymous]

I am building a conveyor in Inventor and I need to build a part of a guard. This part involves bending a metal band around a shape to actually make the guard product. Does anyone know how to do this???

Without any pictures...I think what you are looking for is a
sheetmetal piece with a contour flange? The contour being the shape
you want to bend the guard around.

Attached a little sample with two crazy contours 😃

Figured it out. I had to actually use an offset work plane, and use the same sketch of the original figure then offset, that and extrude the resulting sketch. Thanks for the input though.
