Faceted bends in Sheetmetal?

[n.schotten]

In cases where i want a bigger bend radius then normal for the sheets thickness, i would like to make the bend faceted rather than roled.

Also converting a large radius bend into a faceted bend would be nice.

I was also running into problems getting a seam in a faceted bend i made (multi body sheetmetal) with an other body.

Hello n.scotten,

It would be nice to have this as an automated feature... I have done this manually with a contoured flange.

A workaround could be using Lofted Flange Features:

Thanks Ralf.

That seems to do the trick for a faceted bend. But is rather involved to generate. unlike an option in the bend interface.

Based on the image, it should be able to get it done using contour flange/lofted flange with sketch profile.
