Solution:

Introduction:

In Sheet metal Application we can create a uniform thickness Sheetmetal parts using basic features Such as Tabs, flange and jogs, we can also do bend corners, cut out, bead etc…features.

The Sheetmetal application provide an environment for the design metal parts used in machinery, Automotive and Aerospace Enclosures, Brackets and other parts are normally manufactured with break press.

The complex sheet metal part can be designed in the Solid model work Bench and then we convert in to Sheet metal part. We can also import, clean up and convert a non Sheet metal part into a valid Sheet metal part. Flat pattern Sheetmetal data can be used for the manufacturing process. The material parameters such as thickness, bend radii and bend relief can be easily set as default settings.

Design methodology:

Step 1: Create new sketch in XY plane of 60 mm & 50 mm rectangle

Step 2: Changing design parameters

Step 3: Adding thickness of 1 mm

Step 4: Sketching a rectangle of 5x40 mm long and cutting the same rectangle

Step 5: Applying Bending

Step 6: Applying flange of 5 mm

Step 7: Applting break corner of 1 mm

Step 8: Unbending the metal sheet

Step 9: Adding holes of M2 size

Step 10: Adding dimple in sketch

Step 11: Adding beads

Step 12: Re-bending the metal sheet

Step 13: Drafting.

Conclusion

While designing a casing we have understand and learnt different tools such as Tab, Flange, Dimple, Bending, unbending and many more in sheet metal of NX.
