Just wondering how such a thing could be done, can't think of anything other than a macro to change the bend angle from full to flat and grab still images in between rebuilds.
Sounds cumbersome....

Using SolidWorks Animator:
- create configs suppressing one (or mulitple) bends at a time (use design table for quickness)
- Activate all configs one at a time to load into memory
- start animator's "screen capture" feature.
- activate the configs one at a time to illustrate folding process.
- stop screen capture and enjoy ;)

Me? ... ;p
The trick is to use sweep and a part that cuts the sweep in assembly... Mayby Krister will send you the example... You'll figure it out!
...I think I have it somewhere.. If he can't find it...
