A swept beam for a vehicle body structure includes a structural portion and a flange. The structural portion has at least a first wall and a second wall angled relative to each other along a longitudinal length of the structural portion. The structural portion also has a curved shape at least partially along the longitudinal length. A flange extends integrally from the structural portion along a compression side of the curved shape. The flange has a wave edge opposite the structural portion and exhibits a minimum of buckling.
