Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_1_Casing Design

DESIGN OF CASING USING NX CAD

OBJECTIVE:

Design a sheet metal casing using NX Cad software with suitable commends to achieve the final modeling as per the inputs.

INTRODUCTION:

In sheet metal application we can create uniform thickness sheet metal parts using basic features such as Tabs, flange, and jogs, we also bend corners, cut out beads, etc...

The sheet metal application provides an environment for the design of metal parts used in machinery, automotive, and aerospace Enclosures, brackets, and other parts are normally manufactured with a brake press.

The complex sheet metal part can be designed in the solid model workbench and then we converted it into a sheet metal part. We can also import, clean up and convert a non-sheet metal part into a valid sheet metal part. Flat pattern sheet metal data can be used for the manufacturing process.

DESIGN METHADOLOGY:

DESCRIPTION:

SKETCH:- It's a basic command to draw 2D models.

TAB:- A Command to add parameters of a sketch.

BEND:- It's an operation to bend the tab at a particular position with reference.

FLANGE:- It's an operation to extend a sheet of metal to one of the Edges of a tab.

UNBEND:- It's a command used to flatten the created #d model taking one face as a stationary face.

HOLE:- It's a command used to create different types of holes like tapping and normal drilling on the surface of sheet metal.

DIMPLE:- It is a projection command of a particular shape with reference to Sketch with a certain depth.

BEAD:- Is is also the type of projection to deform the shape at a certain point with reference to sketch and also given strength to the material.

REBEND:- This command is used to rebend the already Flattened sheet metal.

CONCLUSION:

By this challenge I came to know about the application of various commands and using given inputs finally achieve the final product.
