By default, the entire product part is assumed as the area to be formed. You specify regions of the part that are not to be included in the forming operation by selecting curves that separate the formed region from the unformed region. Your product part may have flanges, and you must decide whether any of the flanges are to be formed in this operation. If not, you must specify region bounds that separate the flanges from the region that is to be formed.
