Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_5_Odd Shaped Enclosure
NX_ODD SHAPE ENCLOSURE
OBJECTIVE : To design an advanced ODD SHAPE ENCLOSURE using the sheet metal application in siemens NX.
Introduction
sheet metal design is a vast domain in the design of any sheet metal industry,it is used many sectors including the aeronautics & automotive sectors , in this sheet metal odd shape enclosure design we will look at the design approch using NX (CAD) SOFTWARE through various design , images , explaination and images .
Design Approach
figure 1 above shows the flow chart of the method used to achive the final design of the odd shape enclosure
Description
The sketch is created were the the sketch solid model. and the extrusion of the sketch is created by extrude option.the model is wraped from solid to sheet metal , the edges are rip to form breakview in sheet metal.
the flanges are created on the edges of the wrap sheet metal , the sketch is created the another side of wrap surface so the jogs are created (jogs are also known as steped flange )
unbend is done after the wraping of sheet metal to know the elabrated structure of sheet metal .the sketch is created on the surface were the sketch is taken as bead and strenghten the sheet metal, create hole using sketch option hole is created .
rebend is done were the rebend option , flat pattern is option it convets the bended view to flatern and it gives the bending details in 2d and the design is completed
conclusion
the 2d is done different application were its converted to sheet metal and made flat pattern lastlyand the model is completed
