Tube Bending

I am trying to see if there is a way to take a tube and bendit to a specified dimension and then flatten it out to see what thefinal length would be. I know you can do this in 3D sketch, butthen I have to figure out the straight length by hand which takesawhile.

Please contact me if you would like a copy of the model.

Thanks in advance,
