Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_2_Box Assembly
DESIGNING OF BOX ASSEMBLY
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this project to model a box assembly following the dimension guidelines ,it has to be done using NX sheet metal application.
INTRODUCTION:
Box assembly is the one which is used to cover an object or thing,which is nothing but an enclosing frame with a lid.The box is designed and manufactured using sheet metal in the NX software.It has wide variety of applications
FEATURES USED:
tab: The tab feature is used to thicken the defined sketch which is rectangle in the casing.
flanges:The flanges are used to bend the edge of the model with angle and length dimensions,it can be on any side as per our choosing of edge.
closed corner:The closed corner is used to fill the gap or space in the corner.
bend: It modifies the casing flat model by bending with respect to the sketch we created.
break corner:This is used to smoothen the sharp corners by chamfering with blend radius value.
mirror body:The mirror body command is used to mirror the body with reference to te selected plane.
unite:It is used to join two different bodies with mentioned target body as a single body.
hem flange:The hem flange is used to fold the edge of the sheet metal which is bented inside or outside.
dimple: It is used to lift an area upto the depth value mentioned for the drawn sketch.
datum plane:The datum plane is used to create and construct other features in the box assembly.
unbend: It is used to unbend the bended parts by choosing a bend radius curve.
bead:This bead command is used to lift a particular area within the sketch boundary with die radius.
rebend:The rebend command is used to undo the actions of unbend and get the original shape
normal cutout: The cutout option is used to remove a part which is sketched.

DRAFTING IMAGE OF THE MODEL:
CONCLUSION:
The design of box assembly in sheet metal using NX is modelled successfully and the various orientation of the model also captured.
Drafting of the same model with the flat pattern and trimetric view is also achieved successfully. The model part and drawing part is attached
