i am trying to figure out how i could put a curve into a flat object (similiar to a piece of wood being warped in the middle ) so the panel would be concaved.

i have attached a picture of what i am trying to do

No idea how to do this.. anyone have any pointers?

To effect the outer boundary?

Yes the entire piece would be affected and have the curve shape shown as an example

3 of the easy ways to do it,

Sheet metal Wrap, changes to the true length of the curve and outline, (same as Thicken.)

Extrude > Intersect and Thicken, (Body2)

Or Extrude from Object (Body1) to get (Body3)

Depends on the edge condition, planar or radial....

Might help....
