If you design it as a weldment using the Structural Member function then the total length will be automatically calculated as a cut list property.

Hello,
Sketch one side of the entire profile and use it to make a sheet metal Base Flange.
Set the sheet metal thickness accordingly.
Set K accordingly, too. Since you have 180° bends, you may need to alter the K for these bends.
What's the alloy?
Some aluminums will crack, especially on the 180°.

Good idea! Try it.
