Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_5_Odd Shaped Enclosure
Odd Shaped Enclosure
Objective
Do a sheet metal design for an Odd shaped enclosure.
Introduction
In sheet metal design it is not necessary to be always delt with regular geometries. There are several cases where we should construct some odd shapes or unique designs. Here through this design exercise we focus on the workflow to create an odd shaped or angles. First we extrude or construct a solid body in required shape, then we create a sheet metal enclosure for that by wraping over the solid body.
Design Methodology
Description
Sheet metal from solid: Build a sheet metal model that takes its shape from a collection of planar faces.
Flange: Using this command we can add flange. Flange consist of bend and web region.
Unbend: It will flatten the bend region.
Rebend: After unbend the rebend command will bend the bend region to its original form.
Dimple: Dimple is a punch operation. It creates a depression on the surface.
Bead: It is also a punch function, used to stiffen the surface.
jog: modify the model by lifting material on one side of sketch line.
