Do a Gaussian Shaded Curvature analysis on the appropriate intent
surface set. If Gaussian curvature is anything other than zero it
is not a flat wrap and, therefore, 'formed'.


Post the (Features are not important so a neutral is fine) b-rep
geometry if you want to pursue it.
 
The part looks like it has been developed in more than one direction hecnce you can't unbend it.
