Random shape and not expected in folding

Hi all

I need your help on a Solidworks operation that I can't understand.
I'm in version 2023 SP5.0

I have a square line shape to do, made by a more transition, and then I need to remove material at an angle. That's why I unfold the sheet metal, remove it and fold it up... And that's when the tragedy begins.

In the " unfolded " version, the shape seems healthy

On the other hand, once the folding is done, a zigouigoui appears

Beyond the fact that it's not the expected ... It makes me dinky not to understand where the bottom hurts!
Any opinions on the subject?

In the PC, I'll put the coin for you

Zigouigoui.SLDPRT (299.7 KB)

Same thing for the same version of SW (and Sp).
I think it gives charm to the room, and no other explanation!
On the other hand, SW is still lagging behind on sheet metal and regularly gives us aberrations of this style...

Hi, no zigouigoui at home version 2025

You have to zoom in here, it's a very small zigouigoui:

Unless the bug is fixed in 2025, but I doubt it! :rofl:

No gouigoui :smiley:

I hadn't paid attention @Scofield but as mentioned in the original post, the famous zigouigoui, appears only on the folded part, and not in the flat-pattern:

Indeed, there is a smoothing conflict between the radius of 10 of the sketch and the set of 0.11 at the cut, I tried different cuts with different radii and clearances in vain...

Good evening

What if it wasn't a bug, but simply a sheet metal part that shouldn't have been accepted... SW sheet metal work can only bend and unfold flat shapes connected by cylindrical or conical folds. This is not the case here for the upper sides of the coin.
Exaggerating the dimensions (reduced length and accentuated vertex), here is the geometry:
image
The two upper surfaces are not planes, and the unfolding and folding functions induce deformations. This is probably at the origin of the zigouigoui observed during these operations...

Curiously, there is no visible anomaly due to the removal of material on this " exaggerated " form.

I want to say... Me neither!!

The set of 0.11 to make the shape visible! If you put yourself to less, Solidworks must consider creating in matter in a vacuum and it refuses

Thank you @m_blt for this extensive study (among other things, I love your coloring of the guide curves!)

In reality, the zigouigoui is visible... It's just hyper attenuated and can only be seen from certain angles
Here with an overhang of 50 instead of 10
