    Is it possible to insert a equation into Solidworks to calculate the
    sheet metal bend allowance? How?

    Thanks for any help.

    You could probably do something with an equation, but why not just use the
    sheet metal features and let it flatten it for you?

    Have you tried using a bend table. You input the values and save the table
    and SW puts in the apropriate value based on material thickness and bend
    angle.

    By the way you can calculate just about anything you could want using SW API
    be it macros or a dll or exe addin.
