Obtuse angle Sheet metal bent on edge

Hello

I want to make a bend using the " Sheet Folded on Edge " function which allows me to make a bend as well as to edit a sketch. However, the setting of the angle I want is less than 90° (it is at 120° on the screenshot below).
Is it really impossible to achieve this in SolidWorks?

Hello rvouillat,
And welcome to the community,...
I'm not a boilermaker or a folder,...
I would first fold the fold that you want that is in your screenshot, then I would fold the other two. (To be seen).
But for my part, I couldn't say if it's industrially feasible.

Thank you.
I'm not talking about the realization of the element on the screenshot but about the possibility of having an angle adjustment of less than 90° in the setting of the function.

Hello rvouillat and welcome,
I don't see why SW refuses to make this fold. The settings seem to be correct, as well as the method. I did the same thing and it works

Hello

Maybe you need to put automatic notches so that SW wants to do your shape, right?

In 2020 Sp3.0 comes out directly:


Maybe your bent sheet metal position that he doesn't like (I use the 1st one)

In addition, I can indicate an angle <90°

Indeed, with a 120° setting allows you to do it as you can see on my screenshot but I would like a setting below 90°

Bjr,
The part will be difficult to make unless you have an off-center punch.
The edges are too high, they will collide with a straight punch.

May the force be with you

Thank you, the problem lay in the parameterization of the length of the bent sheet.
Problem solved.
