There are a few things you have to consider when making this model.  The problem is that you are forming the edge so deformation will take place.  When modeling sheet-metal, you always have to be aware of the process used to fabricate the part.  This part is either coined or rolled with a hem tool.  The results should be similar.  in Creo, if you use a form tool (feature), it will not account for the additional material in the flat pattern.  If you create this using a flange feature, it will unfold as best it can.
