Creating Bends

INTRODUCTION

Bends can be created by different ways that can be viwed by three different ways to create the bend.

PROCEDURE

Model have been started by creating a sketch and complete as required shape and used contour flange feature to make the part bend as first,then draw a sketch and tab it for thickness 3mm, select the sketch drawn on the tab for jog flange to create the bend on the part.The third way is to create a sketch and select one of the edge and choose flange to create the bend.

CREATING BENDS BY FLANGE

Sketch is created and tab of thikness 3mm is given to create the part.Flange is given at the edges to bend for 3mm and again the flange option is used on the edge of the flange to bend again for length 10mm.The angle for the flanges are provided as described.

CREATING BENDS BY CONTOUR FLANGE

Sketch is created as per the dimensions and make the sketch a complete sketch

Use the contour flange command and select the sketch as shown above,determine the thickness as 3mm for the flange.This is also one of the method to create the flange.

CREATING BENDS BY JOG FLANGE

Sketch is created as per the dimension and tab of thickness 3mm is given.

A line is drawn vertically on the face of the part of length 25mm

Jog flange is created by selecting jog flange option on the created sketch.Height of the jog flange is given as 6mm.This is also an another method of creating bends in Nxcad.

CONCLUSION

These are the different three ways of creating bends in Nxcad.
