    Welcome to the forum.

    Being a SOLIDWORKS specific question, you would likely be better served to put it in the SOLIDWORKS forum, where you know that Solidworks users will see it.
    Volume and repetition do not validate opinions forged in the absence of thought.

    What version of SolidWorks are you using? 2010? 2011? 2012?
    How many parts will make up the real world assembly? 1? 4? More?
    Where are the rips or seams?
    More information is needed.

    Dear JD,
    Solidworks standard 2012, no idea about number of assemblies.

    How much experience do you have using Solidworks?

    Not assemblies. Parts. How many sheets of metal will be folded to make one of these.
    What is the thickness of the material?
    I will try to post an example later today of one possible solution.
