Hello @CHRYS_BOURQUIN and welcome to the forum.

SolidWorks has several tools that could help you:

  1. Welded construction profiles
    With " rail ", I'm not sure what you mean, but if you save it as a welded build profile, then just create the arc according to which the profile will be extruded...

  2. The bending function
    More complex but quite fun.
