Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_2_Box Assembly

TITLE : - NX_BOX_ASSEMBLY_BEREKAR_MAHENDRA

OBJECTIVE : -

THIS BOX ASSEMBLY IS USE TO CONTAIN THE GOODS AND CARRY THEM FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER PLACE. AND ALSO WITH DESIGN OF THIS CASING I LEARNED MORE THINGS ABOUT THE NX CAD.

INTRODUCTION : -

I USED DIFFERENT FEATURES TO DESIGN THIS ASSEMBLY IN NX CAD. LIKE I USED TAB FEATURE, FLANGE FEATURE,CLOSED CORNER FEATURE, HEM FLANGE FEATURE, MIRROR BODY FEATURE, UNITE FEATURE, DIMPLE FEATURE, BEAD FEATURE, BREAK CORNER FEATURE, UNBEND FEATURE, REBEND FEATURE, NORMAL CUTOUT FEATURE, FLAT PATTERN FEATUER, AND IN LAST DRAFTING TOOLS I USED FOR THIS ASSEMBLY DESIGN. THIS IS HOW I LEARNED A LOT OF FEATURE IN THIS CHALLENGE AND I EXPLAINED IN DETAIL IN THIS REPORT.

DESIGN METHODOLOGY : -

1. FIRST I CREATED A DRAWING FOR THE BASE AND USING TAB FEATURE I CREATED A BASE FOR THE ASSEMBLY.

2. SECOND I CREATED A FLANGE AT THE EDGE WITH GIVEN DIMENSION USING FLANGE FEATURE.

3. THEN FOR AGAIN I USED FLANGE FEATURE TO CREATE A FLANGE ON SIDE EDGES.

4. THEN I USED A CLOSED CORNER FEATURE TO CLOSE ALL THE OPEN CORNERS.

5. NOW I USED HEM FLANGE FEATURE AT THE LAST EDGE WHERE TO WALLS ARE MEETING AND CREATED A CLOSED END AT THAT POINT.

6. NOW I CREATE A SKETCH ON THE FRONT WALL AND USING DIMPLE FEATURE I CREATED A DIMPLE ON THE FRONT WALL. NOW USING MIRROR BODY FEATURE SAME DIMPLE CREATED ON BACK WALL ALSO.

7. NOW AT BOTTOM SIDE I CREATED A RECTANCLE AND USING DIMPLE FEATURE I CREATED A DIMPLE. AND ON SAME BOTTOM SIDE I CREATED A CIRCLE AND THEN USING BEAD FEATURE I CREATED A BEAD AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ASSEMBLY.

8. THEN I CREATED A DATUM PLANE AT THE HIGHEST HEIGHT AND ON THAT PLANE I CREATE A SKETCH WHICH IS CONENCIDENCE WITH A END EDGE OF THE BASE. THEN USING TAB FEATURE I CREATED A TAB OF GIVEN DIMENSION.

9. NOW ON SIDE WALL I CREATE A SKETCH AND I CREATED A TAB AND THEN USING BREAK CORNER FEATURE GIVE A FILLTE TO THE CORNER THEN USING FLANGE FEATURE I CREATED A FLANGE AT THE 40 DEGREE AND THEN USING HEM FLANGE FEATURE I CREATED A CIRCULAR END.

10. NOW USING NORMAL CUTOUT I CUT THE FLANGE.

11. NOW USING MIRROR FETURE I MIRRORED IT ON OTHER SIDE.

12. THEN AT TOP SIDE AGAIN I CREATED A TAB AND USING FLANGE FEATURE I CRAETED A FLANGE AT 40 DEGREE AND USING NORMAL CUTOUT I CUT THE FLANGE.

13. THEN USING FLAT PATTERN FEATURE I CREATED A FLAT PATTERN VIEW AND THEN IN DRAFTING WORKBENCH I DRAFTED A BASE VIEW AND FLAT PATTRN VIEW ON A0 SIZE SHEET.

14. THIS IS HOW WE CAN CREATE THIS ASSEMBLY AND DRAFT IT ON SHEET.

DISCRIPTION :-

1. TAB - THIS FEATURE IS TO CREATE A BASE OF THE MODEL OR SHEET METAL.

2. NORMAL CUTOUT - TO GIVE A REQUIRED CUT ON A TAB.

3. HEM FLANGE - THIS FEATUER IS USE TO CREATE A FLANGE USING THE EDGE BUT HALF CIRCLE AND THE FLANGE.

4. FLANGE - FLANGE FEATURE IS TO CREATE A EXTRA MATERIAL ON THE EDGES WITH RESPECT TO ANGLE.

5. BREAK CORNER - THIS FEATURE IS FOR GIVING A FILLET TO THE SHARP CORNERS OR TO BREAK A SHARP CORNERS.

6. UNBEND - THIS FEATURE IS USED TO CREAET A FLAT SHEET FROM THE SHAPE OF THE SHEET METAL SO WE CAN CREATE A COMPLEX SHAPE ON THE SHEET. LIKE HOLES, DIMLES ETC.

7. HOLE - THIS FEATURE IS USE TO CREATE A HOLE ON THE RESTPECTED POINT. THE DIMENSION IS WE CAN GIVE AS WE WANT.

8. DIMPLE - THIS FEATURE SIMPLY LIFT THE MATERIAL WITH GIVEN PROFILE OR GIVE A DEPTH TO IT.

9. BEAD - THIS FEATURE IS TO CREATE A BEAD ON THE SHEET METAL AND THE PROFILE IS USER DEFINED. BUT SOME VALUE WE CAN CHANGE LIKE DEPTH OR ETC.

10. REBEND - THIS FETURE IS USE TO REBENT THE SHEET MEATAL TO ITS ORIGINAL SHAPE.

11. FLAT PATTERN - THIS FEATURE IS TO USE A FLAT SOLID OR FLAT VIEW OF THE SHEET METAL.

12. BASE VIEW - THIS FEATURE IS USE TO CREATE A BASE VIEW OF THE SHEET METAL ON THE DRAWING SHEET. NOW ONLY BASE VIEW BUT ALSO CREATE A TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT, RIGHT, ISOMETRIC VIEW, OR FLAT PATTERN VIEW ALSO.

13. MIRROR BODY - THIS FEATURE IS USE TO CREATE A SAME BODY AT THE FRONT SIDE. THIS FEATURE IS WORK WITH A PLANE.

14. DATUM PLANE - THIS FEATURE IS TO CREATE A PLANE AT CERTAIN DISTANCE USING AXIS CORDINATE PLANE.

CONCLUSION :-

I LEARNED A LOT OF TOOLS, COMMANDS, AND FETURES WITH CREATING THIS EXERCISE. AND THAN YOU TO GIVE THIS OPPORTUNITY.
