I will look for the modules Meta-form and Fiber Sim.
It don't have to be a 3d flat pattern. A 2d or a sheet Pattern is also good.
I have the .prt file in the attachment. (it's a nx 7.5 .prt file)

It has compound curvature as Cowski notes, Which means "stretched material" to bend/ unbend. It also has "trimmed edges" which sheet metal "most often" doesn't.
We don't know anything about the material , material properties etc.
I ran a Sheet Metal - Meta Form on it selecting only the outward face. ( i first made it tangent continous, bent objects cannot be bent with perfectly sharp corners...) and used the default values in Meta Form.
