2. Next, go up to the menu bar at the top of the SolidWorks window, place the cursor over the Bend-Tech option, and click Process Bend Info.
3. The Send To Bend-Tech panel will now be shown on the left side of the window. Select the 3D Sketch or Sweep by clicking on it. Once the correct feature is selected, click on the green arrow icon.
