I see, there are bend allowances based on the material. These are values that you can enter or allow to default based on pre-defined tables.

In general, there is stretch and crush going on in the bend. If you overall size is 100x100 and 100x50, then the result will the slightly less that 150. in Creo 2.0, in the flat view pop-out window, you can have the overall size shown by using the button on the graphics toolbar in the pop-out window.

I have a sheet with bend wall. Now after unbend the total length of the sheet should be including the radius of the bend.

E.g. Sheet is of 100X100 and bend wall attached is of 100X50 with radius = thickness.

After unbend what should be the total length.
