Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_2_Box Assembly

Design of Box Assembly

Objective:

To design and develop sheet metal box assembly based on the inputs given using sheet metal application in NX

Introduction

This project is to develop a box assembly made of sheet metal based on the inputs given

Design methodology

Tool and features:

1. Tab: This tool is to create a flat feature for base or secondary features to build other features

2. Flange: This is used to create walls or flat features in the required angle and direction

3. Closed Corner: This is used to close the corner between adjacent walls

4. Unbend: This option is used to flatten the bent surfaces

5. Rebend: This is used to rebend a flattened part into the required bent shape

6. Dimple: Dimple tool is used to form the indentation on a sheet metal component

7. Mirror: Create symmetrical features or bodies

8. Hem: This feature is used to fold the edges of surfaces or to lock with another part

9. Bead: To create projections on a sheet metal component

10. Normal cutout: create openings or piercings in sheet metal component

11. Sketcher: To create 2D curves for 3D operations to be done

Conclusion: learn about various commands like Hem , mirrorbody, flange,beads, unite bodie,normal cutout,close corner in NX CAD
