Is this a limitation with Fusion 360 or am I doing something wrong - Sheet Metal

HI
Is this a limitation with fusion 360 or am I doing something wrong here? I need this to be done in the sheet metal environment.
I've placed details in the photo.
First two images are showing function working on straight edge.
Bottom two pictures are showing function unavailable on curved edge.

I’m not sure that’s possible… have you ever formed sheet metal in the real wold in this manner? Did you need facet the curve?

Ian Schutt yes, I'm a fabricator. Perfectly possible using flanging or jenny tool.

Flange on straight edge is "bending". Flange on curved edge is "forming". There are few cad softwares whitch can compute forming of sheet metal of random shape. E.g. Catia or NX. Some cad usually provide basic forming like circulal stamp etc.

Warum lieferst du nicht gleich ein mikroskop mit?? wenn schon bilder dann bitte in bester groesse?
bitte gib deine arbeit rein im f3d format. danke, merci, thank you, muchos gracias.

Hmmm so it's the limitation within fusion.

Are you expecting to model it (easily done) or get a flat pattern from the sheet metal body (limitation)?

Phillip Eichmiller flat pattern in sheet metal for laser cutting.

Sorry I've been away. Did you ever find a solution? For a shape like this a forming die is required to shape the metal. That's going to require different calculations than regular flanges. At this point Fusion does not create forming-die shaped sheet metal flat patterns.

Phillip Eichmiller no unfortunately I haven't. Not drawable in sheet metal workspace.
I've had to draw it flat 2d.
May look elsewhere for the task

I've taken a lot of flat patterns into AutoCAD to edit the profiles when Inventor couldn't do what I wanted. Seems like that could work here. Your Fusion model is most of the way there, but the flat needs manual intervention.
