Sheet metal tool problem (sheet metal with folded edge)

Hello 

I can't use the sheet metal with folded edge on this drawing... (sheet metal tool)

The goal is to achieve something like:

Anyone have any idea what's wrong? 

The software gives me a reconstruction error...

 

Thank you for your help;)

Hello

You work under which version of solidworks because personally I can't open it.

Maybe your corners are intertwining?

Hello vspemens,

I work under soliworks 2016

My corners shouldn't intersect, I created this from a boss and then a shell that I converted into sheet metal...

Hello

You have to use the bent sheet metal function on edges and know the angle because given your part it will not have 90 degrees.

As Ac cobra says.

Your songs are not perpendicular to the face so it won't work.

 

You have to go through folds on the edge and then close the corners or add sheet metal bases

Hello ac cobra,

I've already thought about it but I'm getting to this...

The connections between the edges are therefore not great... (as in the previous example)

That's what we have to work on, Kris.

 

Add closed corners to see

Well done Bart, it works like this

I didn't know the closed corners (I've been using the sheet metal tool for a very short time...)

 

Thank you all for your speed;)

Have a nice day

Or if you don't want to have too much function in the tree, you can edit the sketches of the folds and immediately give the angle to 45 in...
