Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_5_Odd Shaped Enclosure

TITLE OF THE PROJECTS : Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_5_Odd Shaped Enclosure.

OBJECTIVE : To design the odd shaped enclosure by using siemens NX Sheet metal Application.

INTRODUCTION :

Sheet metal Design : NX Sheet metal design provides the design professional with a complete set of tools to efficiently create and manage sheet metal parts based on the knowledge of material properties and manufacturing processes. NX sheet metal design tools incorporate material and bending information, enabling the model to represent both the formed component and flattened blank shapes.

DESIGN METHODOLOGY :

DESCRIPTION :

SKETCH : It is a basic of any design. Creates a sketch in the current application. Use the direct sketch tools to add curves, dimensions, constraints, etc.

EXTRUDE : This feature is used to creates a feature by extruding a section along a vector.

SHEET METAL FROM SOLLID BODY : NX provides a command as sheet metal from solid which convert a solid body to sheet form. To convert, first we specify web faces and then specify bend radius and k factor are applied with specified thickness.

FLANGE : It is used to create a extended part of a sheet metal. To apply flange you need to specify the edge, length, angle, length reference, inset type and bend redius.

JOG :This feature is used to modifies the model by lifting material on one side of a sketch line, adding a flange between the two side.

UNBEND : This feature is used to unbend the sheet metal taking any one face as a stationary face.

BEADS : This feature used for giving strength to the sheet metals.

HOLES : It is used to adds a hole to one or more Sheet metals.

REBEND : This feature used to rebend the sheet metal.

FLAT PATTERN : This feature is used to creates a flat pattern from the formed sheet metal part.
