I am trying to create a feature being a flat mounting tab off of the side of a sheet metal cylinder. I can easily create a swept tab, but that is not how it will be formed, and the material will rip. Below is the desired tab, but it was not created as a sheet metal form. It would obviously need a variable radius to have the model emulate the actual desired part, as the bend material should stretch.
Created base leg of tab after unbending the main cylindrical form
Extruded flat leg, but I wanted a method to be feature based.
