I would start by drawing an arc and then making this arc a base flange. Then you can flatten the part using the unfold feature and then make a cut normal to the flat surface. Once the cut is finished you have to use the fold feature to make it into a formed part again. I've attached a part for example.
Could you upload either a part or picture of what you're trying to do??
