I want to flatten the attached.

Notice the thick red line that depicts an open edge - the point is to have the corners bent and physically welded and polished (for stainless steel)
But Catia will not keep the geometry where the three radii meet.

Catia won't bend this radius. How will you physically fabricate this part? Brake press won't help you. The way to go is to switch to GSD.
Trim corners / fillets as necessary and use unfold command to get flat pattern. Not perfect and you'll definitely correct flat pattern.

Instead of modeling it with Part Design and converting it to Sheetmetal, model it directly in Sheetmetal. I think there is an option for corners like this.
