Bend ends in the edge without relief

Model example

The 40 mm wide upright flange is bent from an 80 mm wide, 6 mm thick base. Look at both ends of the bend: the base edge continues straight past the bend with no notch, so the sheet can tear there.

Dimensions (approx.): 52 × 52 × 80 mm

Expected check result
