Flex board solutions?

Are there any solutions with-in the PTC product line that would be
useful in the design of flex circuit boards. We currently dont have a
sufficient way to create flex boards w/out using the paperdoll method.
I have been interested if a PTC product could help solve this problem.
We'd love to have a model that can represent the entire assembly from
the housing all the way down to the electrical components on a
flexboard. I have the thought of some like a projected surface on to a
curved surface and it be able to be flattened out at in sheetmetal but
for flexible circuit boards.

All thoughts and ideas and examples are appreciated.

Adam,

I would have thought creating the flexi-pcb as a spinal bend feature might
be worth experimenting with for this.

Hi ADAM

I suggest that You use sheetmetal functionality to design the flex PCB. The
rules for design of sheetmetal and flex PCBs are the same.

Just my two cents.

Kind regards
