Varried radii form

Is there a way to do a bend with a varrying form radius?

My part has a couple of holes that would curve around the large normal form radius so the customer in the small area around the hole reduced the radius to prevent that.

R.125 is the basic form with short sections where it goes down to .06

thanks

Tim,

From what I have understand, you are looking to have a sheet metal part with different radii. For e.g. if there a U shaped part, you are looking to have two different radius at the two bends.

  I "think" he is referring to a single bend.
  
  e.g. where the bend intersects a hole and to avoid excessive distortion a smaller radius is employed.
  
  If this is the case SolidWorks cannot do this.
  
  Actually I'm not sure how you would do this in real life.
  Perhaps leave a gap in the male die.

    Yes, Kenneth is spot on, I sort of figured I was asking too much its not a big issue I can work it out in the design. Seeing as how they will want to 3D it I will have to come up with something.
