<![endif]> After that unbend the body from the another side of  body create a sketch  and apply bend command on it. <![if !mso]>

<![endif]> Create a  sketch a 5mm dia  6 hole in both the side  over the flange with the normal cut out option . <![if !mso]>

<![endif]> <![endif]--><!-- [if !vml]--><!--[endif]--><!-- [if gte vml 1]> <![if !mso]>

<![endif]> Create a flange  20mm from the lower  end side of body   with a angle of 35 degree . <![if !mso]>

<![endif]> <![endif]--><!-- [if !vml]--><!--[endif]--><!-- [if gte vml 1]> <![if !mso]>

<![endif]> Create a sketch along y direction with tipezoidal shape   with 100 *50mm  length <![if !mso]>

<![endif]> <![endif]--><!-- [if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->                   

Descriptions :

Extrude :

Create a sketch along y direction  with tipezoidal shape  with 100mm *50 mm  and extrude the sketch around 250 mm .

<!-- [if gte vml 1]> <![endif]--><!-- [if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->

Sheet metal from solid :

Sheet metal from solid body  has created  while   considered the solid body  .   with thicken the 3mm upward direction .

<!-- [if gte vml 1]> <![endif]--><!-- [if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->

Flange :

After creating  a flange with the edge of the   sheet metal body with angle of 25degree.with 25 mm length .

<!-- [if gte vml 1]> <![endif]--><!-- [if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->

Bend :

After creating a  flange we have to create a sketch a line over the another side of the   sheet metal body apply the  bend command

<!-- [if gte vml 1]> <![endif]--><!-- [if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->

Unbend :

While creating a  bend command on the sketch  we have to unbend the sheet metal body   to create a sketch .

<!-- [if gte vml 1]> <![endif]--><!-- [if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->

Normal cut out :

After the creating a sketch  5mm dia  hole and apply the normal cut out  option to make a  hole on flange surface .

<!-- [if gte vml 1]> <![endif]--><!-- [if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->

Bead :

After creating the hole and  create a sketch on the top of the surface of sheet metal body  after that apply the bead command on it .

<!-- [if gte vml 1]> <![endif]--><!-- [if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->

 Flat pattern  :

After creating a unbend do flat pattern creating a 2d   from solid sheet metal body .

Conclusion :

 Creation of odd shapes using  Siemens sheet metal application .has successfully created  by following the design  method .
