Flatten a curved "thicken" on NX 6

Flatten a curved "thicken" on NX 6

(OP)
I have attached a view of a curved "thicken" with holes that I am trying to produce a fflat pattern to dimension. I have tried the "Flat Pattern & Flat Body" command in "Sheet Metal" to no avail. I have also tried using "Unwrap" but it will only unwrap a cylinder or cone, of which this is NOT.

I would appreciate any other options to try.

Thank You,

Mike

You can do that with metaform if you have an advanced sheetmetal license.
