                                                            1.Title-BOX ASSEMBLY                                                                                                                                  

2.OBJECTIVE: To design a sheet metal casing in industrial manner by using Siemens NX Cad.

3.INTRODUCTION: The sheet metal application provides an environment for the design of sheet metal parts used in Machinery, Automotive,Aerospace etc.Enclosures,brackets,and other parts normally manufactured with a brake press.

4.Design methodology / approach: 

Features used while designing  :

• 1.SKETCH: This is used to create a basic sketch of the design according to shape and size on selecting the desired plane.

 

• 2.TAB: This feature is used to create a base tab on selecting the curve drawn in sketch mode with the appropriate thickness.

 

• 3.FLANGE: Flange is used to add flanges on selecting the edges of our sheet, it works as a BEND feature along with that extra material can be added by adjusting the length of the flange.

 

• 4.CLOSED CORNER: This feature is used to close the corners by selecting two flanges.

 

• 5.HEM FLANGE: This feature is used for different purposes like stiffening and also for easy holding without making any physical hurts.

 

• 6.DIMPLE: It is used to draw a dimple on selecting a curve for modeling the sheet.

 

• 7.MIRROR BODY: This feature is used to create a copy of the body part in the opposite direction.

8.MIRROR FEATURE: This feature is used to create a copy of the feature part in the opposite direction.

 

• 8.BEND: This feature is used to bend the sheet metal along the sketched curve upon our requirement.

 

• 9.BREAK CORNERS: Break corners is used to make the edges round for easy handling when using.

 

• 10.NORMAL CUTOUT: This feature is used to cut the portions of the sheet metal by giving sketch curves.
• 11.UNBEND: Unbend is a feature used to analyze the model whether it has perfectly assigned the alignments, which ensures for the modeler to do further operations on it.

 

• 12.BEADS: This feature is used to create a bead on the sheet which generally strength to flange.

 

• 13.REBEND: This is used to re-bend the flange which is unbended after all modification.

Conclusion:After follow above methods and  tools we successfully design the sheet metal box assembly.
