Miter corners with corner radius in sheet metal

[J_King]

Hello All
New to Alibre Expert. I want to create a corner miter feature like this to allow an inside weldment to gain additional corner strength. I know how to do this in SolidWorks but cannot figure out how to do this in Alibre yet. Help requested if you know how to accomplish this feature.

Thanks
Joe

A couple (but not all possible) methods in the current version:

Edit the sketch of the flanges and draw in the corners manually.

Make the flanges larger and Sketch on them and cut them back.

The key is to select mitred flange on the top/bottom flanges, with the flanges over size and then sketch the top profile you need the flanges to look like and do a cut.

Thanks, the second suggestion seems to work out.

Thanks much for posting the model, it helped me figure out how to do it.

I know this is an old post, however there is a feature In Alibre to create miters now. When you want to create a feature like this select both edges to create the flange, then select the Corners tab in the flange dialogue box. After you pick the corner tab select miter, this will automatically miter your corner and give you whichever relief you choose from the options. Hope this helps someone in the future that comes along this post.
