How can I flatten tube steel

[Holopro]

How can I flatten the end of a piece oftube steel? kind of like the end of bike forks.I am using Solidworks 2009 sp0.0

I have not tried it before in flattening the tip of a part, but the "indent feature" could be a possibilty.

If it is a sheetmetal part, using a "forming tool" would be worth testing to see if it flattens the tip of the tube.

create two lofts between the tube edges and a set of two new sketchs for the new end. these will be two oval one(inside) one(outside) and the same for the end.


good luck...
