Good morning to all, I open this discussion to ask you a advice on how to make a reinforcement on a sheet metal part on pro-e wf5.

It is recently that I have looked at pro-e and I have not much experience even on the printed sheet, so every little advice could be helpful.

At work I happen many supports in sheet metal with pressed reinforcements, I press that I do not need the development of these supports, so even if I am not in the sheet metal part it is ok the same, the only thing is that I am easier and intuitive to make complex folds in sheet metal environment, I tried with punch and matrix but I just can't come out.

I attach an example of support to make the idea better, the incriminated reinforcement is what flows on the side of the support.

according to your experience, what could be the most correct way is quick to achieve this support with reinforcement?

Thank you in advance and I wish you good holidays! ! !

build the sheet as you best believe, along the edge to be reinforced creates a shaped wall using the flange function choosing the edge to be reinforced and the type of reinforcement to be realized (for example, arched, s, paro, etc.). if the part is complex, or has variations of strange angles, break it into smaller elements until you realize what you want.

I hope I could give you a tip.

p.s. usually the use of the flange function involves the creation of "non-developable" sheets

thanks first of all for the answer, with the method indicated by her (separando therefore the folds) how do I then have the mold effect? I need the reinforcement folds to be joined as you see in the file I attached. . .
