Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_1_Casing Design
CASING DESIGN USING SIEMENS NX
OBJECTIVE
The objective is to model a Casing by using the application of Sheet Metal Design using SIEMENS NX 12 Software.
INTRODUCTION
The knowledge on the modeling of Sheet Metal plays a major role in the product design. Thus here is one of the application of sheet metal design is done using NX 12, where in different tools used for designing the sheet metal components are learnt, and here are some of tools used for designing the Casing model is discussed below.
DESIGN METHODOLOGY
DESCRIPTION
- At first the tab feature was used to form a base shape of the sheet metal with a thickness of 1mm and the K factor of 0.33. This is the fixed value and the same was used till the end of the model.
- Then normal cutout was used to cut the tab.
- Then bend was used on the either side of the tab.
- Then flange was used to on the both the sides and break corner was used.
- Then unbend was used to create holes for the screw of size M2.
- Then bead was used on the face of the tab with a depth of 1mm.
- Then this was mirrored to create beads on the four sides of the tab.
- Then a sketch was drawn and Dimple feature was used on it with a depth of 1mm.
- Then flat pattern feature was used to have the diagrammatic look of the model in a A4 size sheet.
