Can't create sheet metal flat pattern

Hello,

This model attached can be converted to sheet metal but the flat pattern cannot be created. It can be flattened in another software but couldn't figure out how to do it Fusion. Is it not possible?

Research Wrap for how to do it in Fusion. You need a flat sliver face, to anchor the Unfold / Refold operations.

Might help….

I stand to corrected but you cant a achieve a flat pattern in Fusion for the complete body as shown in your two screenshots. What actually are you trying to do? How will you manufacture? Laser cut the annulus and frustum parts separately?

What I am trying to model looks like this, the one above was an example I was pushing for Fusion:

So it is a belt cut from sheet metal, bent on the horizontal axis but then made a whole round. @Warmingup1953 Have a look at that one as well:
