Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_1_Casing Design

DESIGNING CASING IN ADVANCED SHEET METAL USING NX CAD SOFTWARE

OBJECTIVE :

To design casing and learn the basics of sheet metal using NX cad software.

INTRODUCTION :

It is a metal forming process manufactured in industries applicable in automobiles,aernautics etc... sheetmetal can be bent to different shapes and sizes as per requirement easily and designed using NXcad.

DESIGN METHODOLOGY/APPROACH :

• sketch
• tab
• normal cut out
• bend
• flange
• break corner
• unbend
• hole
• dimple
• bead
• mirror feature
• rebend
• flatpattern

DESCRIPTION :

• sketch

To draw the base sketch that can be modelled as per requirement.

• tab

This feature is used to create tab of variable thickness.

• normal cut out

This feature is used to cut the portion of sheet metal.

• bend

This feature is used to bend the curve as per required.

• flange

This feature is used as same as bend feature along adjustable length .

• break corner

This feature is used to create round edges from sharp edges.

• unbend

This feature is used to create appropriate part features in unfold manner.

• hole

This feature is used to create holes as per required of various specifications of screws.

• dimple

This feature used to create dimple on sheet metal.

• bead

This feature is used create bead on sheet that strengthens it.

• mirror feature

This feature is used to mirror the feature in respect to reference plane.

• rebend

This feature is used to reform its orginal shape of unfolden to folden one.

• flat pattern
