Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_5_Odd Shaped Enclosure
SHEET METAL PART FOR ODD SHAPES
Objective : To create sheet metal for odd shapes using Sheet Metal Application in NX CAD
Introduction : Sheet Metal Design plays a vital role in automotive, defence and aerospace feilds.
Design Approach :
Description of Tools/Features :
Extrude : To add material normal to the sketch to get a solid body.
Sheet Metal from Solid : Helps to create Sheet Metal directly from the Solid Body.
Flange : To create bend between two walls.
Jog : To create an offset or a step in a tab of the sheet.
Unbend : To unbend the bent surfaces of the sheet metal.
Bead : To add certain material in order to strengthen the sheet metal.
Hole : To create hole on the sheet metal at the required location and size.
Rebend : To bend the flattened sheet metal.
Flat Pattern : Gives detailed dimensional and operational report of the sheet metal to get desired product.
