Title of the Project : Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_1_Casing Design
Objective : To design a Casing with the help of NX advance sheet metal
Introduction :
NX Sheet Metal provides a set of tools within the NX design environment that allows for simple and fast design of sheet metal parts, dependent on their material and manufacturing process. NX sheet metal design software incorporates material and process information in sheet metal-specific modelling features: bends, flanges, tabs, cutouts, beads, dimples, louvers, corner and edge treatments, patterns and other formable features.The sheet metal application provides an environment for the design of sheet metal parts used in machinery, automotive and aerospace application etc. Enclosures, brackets and other parts normally manufactured with a brake press. Through this project we are able to design a sheet metal casing using the digital CAD tool (Siemens NX 12).We can also quickly convert solid models to sheet metal components, and create sheet metal parts that enclose other components.
NX Sheet Metal-specific features such as flanges, tabs, jogs, corner conditions, and drawn cutouts & many more along with productivity enhancements such as – automatic bend reliefs.
Design methodology / approach (To be explained with the help of Flowcharts only)
Description :
Start sketching in Sheet metal enviornment sketch a rectangle of 60 by 50 mm .
Set the default values in sheet metal preferences in menu tab
Then creation of Tab.
Sketch on tab face the cross section to create a cut-out.
Normal Cut-out feature on sheet
Then Bend the sheet from new sketch drawn two lines symmetry in xaxis and 10 mm offset from horizontal edge of tab
Add flange of 5
Add Break corner to the sharp edges
Unbending the sheet.
Make Sketch on C/S And then Creation of Holes to the flanges.
Create Sketch And Adding Dimple by selecting sketch of desired cross section
Create Sketch And Adding Bead by selecting sketch of desired cross section
by mirror pattern mirror it with plane axis
Rebending Of Sheet
Using Flat Pattern.
Create New Drafting File and select Module As Flat Pattern

Conclusion :While designing a casing We have Use and learnt different tools such as Tab, Flange, Dimple, Bending, unbending and many more in sheet metal of NX. In this way we have completed Casing modeling using NX sheet metal.
