The basic tips for making holes in the sheet metal in inventor the problem of holes made in flat pattern and folded model. Creating single curvature into sheet metal is easy like rolling a piece of paper into a tube but double curvature presents significant challenges in manufacturing. If the question refers to sheet metal parts follow the sheet metal workflows to unfold a sheet metal part.

If the question refers to surfaces that are bent in only one direction but it is no sheet metal part. Using multi point stretch forming and fiber reinforced composite laminates are subjected to in plane shearing deformations. I ran through this very quick and messed up my terminology between transverse and longitudinal but hopefully it will still be helpful.
