sheetmetal tube unbend

Inoram · ‎May 20, 2015

Does anyone know if CREO (2 or 3) can unbend the split portion of the tube in the picture? Currently, it wants to try to flatten the split areas.(first picture).

Meaning it work look similar to the second picture.(picture is not 100% exact, but really close.)

Just like this?

Thanks for the input! But no, I do not want a flat part after Unbend, I want a tube.

Basically this would be a product manufactured from a tube. So I was trying to model it finished but "unbend" it back to initial tube shape. The difference being my simple example above has 2 legs, the actual product will have 6-12 legs with details in the legs.
