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.

Select bend table as the unfold method.
A bend table is a table of bend deductions arranged in rows and columns.
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.
Each row in a bend table specifies a bend angle.
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.

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.

When unfolding if a bend radius or angle does not correspond to a specific entry a process interpolates between adjacent values in the table.
