Siemens NX CAD sheet metal design software incorporates material and process information in sheet metal-specific modelling features: bends, flanges, tabs, cutouts, beads, dimples, louvres, corner and edge treatments, patterns, and other formable features. You can also quickly convert solid models to sheet metal components, and create sheet metal parts that enclose other components. More than 85% of sheet metal industries use NX CAD as a design tool. In this course, you will learn the sheet metal module of NX CAD [UG NX] software. At the end of this course, you will be able to implement sheet metal design constraints. You will also be able to easily create real-time industry models of sheet metals.
In this module, you will learn how to create the sketches in NX CAD
Understanding Tabs and Flanges
Adds a flange to an angle to a planar face and adds a bend between the two.
Creates a base feature by extruding a sketch along a vector, or adds material by sweeping a sketch along an edge or chain of edges.
Advanced flange
Joggles
Lightning Cutouts
In this module, you will get a thorough understanding of:
Edge rip
Convert utility
Cleanup utility
Reliefs
Face optimization
Forming sheet metal from solid
In this module, you will gain experience in: Beads creation Dimple creation Emboss creation Mirror features Feature patterns
In this module, you will get an understanding of
This is an introductory session where students are introduced to the basics of automobiles along with different models of car bodies. Students will also learn about the different stages of vehicle development that a car will go through before reaching the customer. Students will also learn about the three years of development activity that precedes the development of an automotive model.
In this session, the student will be introduced to the basics of automotive BiW. The student will be introduced to the basics of steel and its properties in detail because steel is an important component used in the construction automobiles. The steps that are followed in the selection of the material will be discussed as well. Students will be given an introduction into cross-functional teams that exists in an organization, and the need to coordinate with them along with examples of master sections and 3D components of the parts for easy and clear understanding.
In this module, we will focus our attention on the Hood, Fender, Roof, Side doors, and Back doors. The design procedures for all the afore-mentioned parts can be summarized as follows.
In this module, we will present a real-life scenario where the effect of converting an inner panel from aluminium cast to the steel deep draw part is shown. Here is a quick summary of this case. The following design parameters were identified as critical and hence were fully described:
When you enroll in this course, you will be able to clearly understand these design parameters and the decisions that were made. In this case study, the design guidelines were set through a series of CAE simulations.
In this module, you will study the anatomy of a Locker and Striker mechanism. In order to be a successful product development engineer, it is very important to understand in detail the development process and design requirements for even the smallest component.
In this module, we will look at two case studies. Both of these studies focus on supplier manufacturing practices. We will discuss the design challenges faced by two Asian Automotive suppliers and then go over the solution methodologies
A welding fixture is used to position product parts for welding. This secures the geometry of the product parts. Accurate positioning is critical to the success of the weld and the quality of the final position of each part. In this course you will learn various welding process, how to create Fixture for the given BIW components, create 2D drawings for each parts of the fixture and create BOP and BOM for the complete assembly.
