Can this bend be done in MOI3D?

I saw what I perceive as errors in the model/part listed and thought I would comment...

I don't thing you can "bend" metal this way without ruining it structurally.. So the part would be a "welded part"....

Here's a video of how I would model it:



Taking note of the last part of the video and the fillet that took a couple attempts....

In the other models, it seems the bottom part is being "brought back" to meet with the vertical part... I think this is an error and is creating a structurally weak point in the part....

Doing it as in the video keeps the dimension of the bottom part in tact.... The 2 parts would then be welded together....

Hard to tell from your sceengrab Danny, but it looks like your model may have this part modeled as in the video also?
