Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_1_Casing Design

Project :  Case Design

Objective: 

Design of casing using NX sheet metal software by following required operations , standard values and given dimensions to create it.

  Introduction:

While designing casing in sheet metal , we go through some operations like tab, flange , dimple etc.. to create the final part in NX software.

Methodology:

Follow the below flow chart of the design operation :

Tree structure:

    

Operations did during designing are as follows:

1)TAB:

It creates a base feature by  extruding sketch along vector direction at the thickness value or adding material to planar.

2)FLANGE:

Adds a flat flange at an angle to a planar face and adds a bend between the  two. 

3)BLEND:

Rounds a sharp corner of tab or flange.

4)DIMPLE:

Lifts an area of the model inside a sketch that stimulates the stamping tool.

5)NORMAL CUT:

It cuts material by projecting a sketch onto the model and then cutting perpendicular to the faces intersected by the faces.

6)UNBEND:

Flatterns a bend and the material adjacent to the bend.

7)REBEND:

Restores an unbend feature to its previous bent state, along with any feature added after the unbend feature.
