OBJECTIVE
- To design a casing using NX sheet metal application as shown in the above figure.
INTRODUCTION
The sheet metal casing design is obtained using sheet metal application in NX12 application.
Various features such as flange, tab, dimple are used while creating the above model.
METHODOLGY:
|
STEP1: create tab |
|
STEP 2: create bends |
|
STEP 3: create flanges on both sides |
|
Step 4: create sketch on face |
|
Step 5: create a dimple with sketch |
|
|
|
Step 6 : unbend the sheet. |
|
|
|
Step 7: holes creation. |
|
Step 8: re bend the sheet. |
|
Step 9 : create beads. |
DESCRIPTION:
- TAB: it is used to create the base feature of a sheet metal
- FLANGE: it is used to create an extended feature for the sheet metal
- SKETCH: it’s a basic drawing in which any kind of operation can be performed, with reference to it.
- UNBEND: it’s a command which is used to unbend the sheet metal with respect to a stationary face.
- DIMPLE: used to create pitch down or pitch up on a surface with help of a sketch.
- REBEND: its used to bring back the old bends which were bent before.
- BEEDS: used for giving more strength for the sheet metal.
CONCLUTION:
The structure of a casing is obtained using the basic features of NX sheet metal application.
