1. Title:
Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_1_Casing Design
2. Objective:
To generate a sheet metal design of casing using SIemnes NX sheetmetal application.
3. Intro:
To generate a sheet metal design of casing using SIemnes NX sheetmetal application.
4. Approach:
proper approach and steps of the making of this part are discussed int he following points.
5. Description:
1. a tab feature is created by referencing the drawing on the XY plane.
2. all teh global parameters are set to 1 mm in the sheet metal preferences.
3. a small solid sheet cutout is made on this tab feature.
4. the resulting sheet is bended along two parallel lines drawn on the top of the tab.
5. then flanges are added to the four sides.
6. corner breaks are added for smooth corners to these flanges.
7. this sheet is unbend to result in a flat sheet.
8. a screw clearance hole is added to each flange extension on this flat sheet.
9. after making another sketch on the top plane of the flat sheet, a dimple is made out of theis section.
10. then four holes are added as beads onto this plate on the foue sides of the dimple just created.
11. the whole sheet is rebended, to view how the final sheet will come about.
12. on a drafting sheet, a flat pattern is output to have a drawing file ready.
conclusion:
Sheet metal design of casing using SIemnes NX sheetmetal application is generated.
