Challenge-5

1.Title of the project: Advanced sheet metal design using NX cad Challenge_5_Enclosures with odd Shapes.

2.Objective: To design an enclosure using odd shapes and angles using Siemens NX Sheet Metal Application.

3.Introduction:

Sheet metal: It is formed by an industrial process into thin, flat pieces, it is one of the fundamental forms used in metalworking and it can be cut and bent into a variety of shapes.
NX: It is formerly known as “Unigraphics” and is an advanced high-end CAD/CAM/CAE, which has been owned by Siemens PLM Software. Mostly it is used for Design, Engineering analysis, manufacturing.

4.Methodology:

Design methodology can be explained by the following flow chart.

Start

A solid body was created that encompasses the interior volume of the final enclosure shape, using tools in the modeling applications.

Wrap around the solid body was created using the feature Sheet metal from Solid.

Some features such as Flanges, Jogs or bends were added.

Bended areas were unbent for adding some extra features like Cut-outs, Beads, Dimples

Unbent areas were rebent

The flat pattern was created for drafting and other Manufacturing.

End
