INTRODUCTION: The recommended work flow followed to create enclosures with odd shapes or angles

Create a solid body

wrap the solid body with sheet metal

Add features like flange,bend etc

Unbend to add features like holes,dimple,beads etc.

Rebend

create a flat pattern.

DESIGN METHODOLOGY: 

DESCRIPTION:  

Go to new sheet -sheet metal body.

sketch the base feature and extrude.

    

now wrap the solid body with the sheet metal body solid command, select the wrap faces and bend with thickness 3 mm

now give bends by flange and jog feature.

       

after creating the bends.unbend the body to add features like holes,beads.

go to unbend select the face and bend to make a flat body.

now sketch in the xy plane to create the curve for bead.go to bead command select the curve and depth of 3mm

now create point the face for holes.click holes select the point and give dia of 10cm

all the features and so the body can be rebend.

flat pattern is given.select the face,orientatio -edge is given select the edge.

the flat view can be viewed in model views.

now go to Application -drawing and give sheet size.Go to base view and view flat pattern.

different views

CONCLUSION: the odd enclosure is modelled in sheet metal wth required features.
