Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_2_Box Assembly
Title of the project:- Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_2_Box Assembly.
Objective:To design a Box assembly and create drafting using sheet metal tool using Siemens Nx.
Introduction:- Sheet metal tool is in siemens i a complete set of tools to design/ Moduling sheel metal models in an efficiently and the tool incorporate material and bending information and preview the model to show in both formed components and flattened black shapes.
Design Methodology:-
Description:-
Sketch: Its a basic 2d sketch to any design.
Tab : Creates a bae feature by extruding a sketch along a vector by a thickeness value, or adds material to plannar face.
Flange : Adds a flange at an angle to a plannar face and adds a bends between the two faces.
Unbend: Flattens a bend and the material adjacent to the bend
Rebend: Restore an unbend feature to its previous bent stage , along with any feature added after the unbend feature.
Dimple: Lift an area of the model inside or outside a sketch that simulates a stamping tool.
Bead : Lifts material along the contour of a sketch that simulates a stamping tool, creates a solid using a path and cross section shape.
Unite: Combine the volume of two or more solid bodies into a single body.
Normal cutout: Cuts material by projecting a sketch onto the model and then cutting perpendicular to the face intersecting by the projection.
Mirror Feature: Copies a feature and mirrors it across a plane
Hem Flange: Modifies the model by floding the edge of a sheet metal flange over onto itself for the purpose of afe handling or to increase edge stiffness.
Break corner: Rounds or chamfers a sharp corner of a tab or flange.
Closed Corner: Closes a corner where two adjecent flage meets by extending the bends and flanges.
Mirror body:copies body and mirrors it across a plane
Flate patten: Create a flate patten feature from the formed sheet metal parts.
datum plane: Create a boundary plane used to construct other features.
