Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_1_Casing Design
TITLE : CASING DESIGN USING NX CAD SHEET METAL APPLICATION
OBJECTIVE :
- To design a sheet metal casing in NX CAD sheet metal application.
- To do drafting for the casing part .
INTRODUCTION :
NX CAD sheet metal application provides an environment to design sheet metal parts .It is widely used in Automotive and Aerospace industries .
DESIGN METHODOLOGY :
DESCRIPTION :
Before designing the bend radius , thickness , relief depth and relief width are set to 1 mm .
This is done by Menu-> preferences -> Sheet Metal .
Sketch : It is a 2d drawing drawn on a plane with the help of standard figures in NX .
A rectangular sketch was drawn in the xy plane .
Tab: This is used to extrude a sketch along a vector by a thickness value .
Normal Cutout : This is used to cut off material by projecting a sketch into the model .
A rectangular sketch is made and then Normal Cutout is done .
Bending : This is used to bend the sheet metal as per the required shape .
To bend have to select a curve and a face .
Flange : This is used to and flange at an angle to the planar face and a bend between the two .
Break Corner : It is used to round the sharp corners .
Unbend : This is used to unbend the sheet metal .
Select the edge and the face .
Normal Cutout : Sketch four holes and use normal cut out to produce four holes .
Dimple : It is used to punch a pattern in the sheet metal and it can be drawn in any flat face .
Bead : It lifts material along the contour of the sketch and simulated a stamping tool .
Mirror Feature : It mirrors the bead feature and sketch across different planes to get the desired output .
Rebend : It is used to bend back the faces back in order .
Flat Pattern : It is used to create an automatically flattened version of sheet metal and prepares the model for manufacturing .
