Use the sheet metal defaults dialog box to change the options and parameters defined by the selected sheet metal rule for the active sheet metal part or to assign a unique thickness to a body in a multibody part.

I don t even know if you could enter a 0 0 for a k factor in inventor possibly something like 0 0000000000001 or it could be 1 0.
Values for angles not defined within the table are calculated using a backup kfactor.
So if the thickness of the sheet was a distance of t 1 mm and the location of the neutral axis was a distance of t 0 5 mm measured from the inside bend then you would have a k factor of t t 0 5 1 0 5.

Sheet metal k factor.
Each row in a bend table specifies a bend angle.

K factor a constant determined by dividing the thickness of the sheet by the location of the neutral axis which is the part of sheet metal that does not change length.
Select bend table as the unfold method.
By default inventor uses a k factor for calculating bend allowances.

You can generate flat patterns by unfolding sheet metal features using a uniformly applied.
When unfolding if a bend radius or angle does not correspond to a specific entry a process interpolates between adjacent values in the table.

The default k factor is 0 44 which simply means that inventor is assuming that 44 through the cross section of the part the material is not stretched or squashed when bending and therefore this slice of the folded part will give the true length of the flat pattern.
