a folded metal sheet should be bent again

I use Creo Parametric 9.0 / folded metal sheet should be bent again

 

I have to construct a folded sheet metal strip with a 90° bend. The folding (180° tab) of the sheet is no problem, but the bending of the folded sheet.  Are there any ideas?

Create the 90° bend first.

Next create a 180° / 0R flange for each edge. (Hold shift to chain select the edge.)

This should unfold completely.

Can you include a picture of what you are wanting to do?

Something like this:

The hem has to be created after the bend.  Sheetmetal will not create a bend through a hem.

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    Yes, something like your picture and something like this:

    Now I have constructed the hem (fold) as a profile and then bent it.

    But I can't completely unwind the sheet metal construction this way.
