Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_1_Casing Design
1.Advanced Sheet Metal Casing Design-SUSAN
2.OBJECTIVE: The main objective is to create sheet metal casing using SIMENS NXSheet metal application
3.INTRODUCTION: NX CAD is one of the modelling software .it was mainly used in design of sheet metal parts used in machinery,automotive,aerospace etc
4.DESIGN METHOD:

Description
TAB: create a base feature by extruding a sketch along the vector by a thickness value
BEND: create a bend to sheet metal at angle to form desired shape
FLANGE: adds a flat flange at an angle to a planar face and add bend between the two
Break CORNERS:rounds the sharp corner of the tab or flange
normal cutout: cuts the material by projecting the sketch on the model
HOLES: add a hole to the body
BEADS: lifts the material along the contour of the sketch
DIMPLE: lifts the area of the model inside the sketch
