Hello Guys, I'm with a problem when I calculate the mass os my part.

If I calculate the mass of my part I get the values that you can see in picture 1 (attachments) and this value is wrong (I calculated the value of blank)

If I calculate the value of the flat (same part), than the value is correct (Picture 2 - attachments). I can't understand why...

The flat will be the correct weight. Creo doesn't take in to account the thinning or stretching of the sheet metal when it is formed. The constant thickness on the formed part is maintained and therefore there is an amount of volume that is added.
