Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_2_Box Assembly
Objective : To design a sheet metal Box Assembly using NX CAD SOFTWARE with suitable command.
Introduction
Sheet metal is any metal that has a thickness in between 0.5 to 6 millimetre.
The use of sheet metal is extremely important and valuable in modern day building, manufacturing, and construction sectors. Sheet metal is used in a variety of industries namely car manufacturing, aircraft parts, tools, agriculture, mining, catering, shipping, medical, electronic parts, and construction to name a few.
In this project box assembly consist of three parts,
- Box
- Lid
- Hinge
Design methodology
Description
SKETCH : It is used to draw a 2D sketch.
TAB : Creates a base feature by Extruding a sketch along a vector by a thickness value.
BEND : modifies the madel by bending material on one side of a sketch line, adding bend between two sides.
FLANGE : Adda a flat flange at an angle to a planar face and adds a bend between the two.
UNBEND: Flattens a bend and material adjacent to the bend.
HOLE : Adds a hole to one or more solid bodies in a part or assembly with opctions for counterbored,countersunk and threaded.
DIMPLE : Lifts an area of the model inside a sketch that simulates a staming tool.
REBEND: Resotres an unbend feature to its previous bent stste, along with any features added after the unbend feature.
NORMAL CUTOUT: Cuts material by projecting a sketch onto the model and then cutting perpendicular to the faces intersected by the projection.
BREAK CORNER: Rounds or chamfers a sharp corner of a tab or flange.
BEAD : Lifts material along the contour of a sketch that simulates a stamping tool.
UNITE : Combines the volume of two or more solid bodies into a single body.
MIRROR BODY: Copies a body and mirrors it across a plane.
HEM FLANGE: Modifies the model by folding the edge of a sheet metal flange over onto itself for the purpose of a safe handling or to incress edge stiffness.
CLOSED CORNER: Closes corner where two adjacent flanges meet by extending the bends and flanges.
