flexible grommet strip

We use a grommet strip on the edge of sheetmetal parts to protect wires, etc which route over the edge. We have an extruded model which we use on straight edges. We would like to be able to show this strip allong non-straight edges accurately. We could do a custom swept feature for each occurance but I was looking for a more universal solution like a flexible part. Can the path of a swept feature be partof the flexiblity?


If not, can someone suggest an alternative.


Secondary challenge: The real part has a notched edge which gives it its flexibility. We can live without showing the notches but full accuracy would be better.
