Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_5_Odd Shaped Enclosure

Title of the Project :- Advanced sheet metal design using NX cad- Odd Shaped Enclosure.

Objective:-

Design the odd shaped Enclosure in sheet metal using NX Cad.

Introduction:-

In this project we design Odd shaped Enclosure using basic sheet metal commands such as sketch,extrude,sheetmetal form solid,flange,jog,unbend,bead,hole,rebend,Flat pattern.

Design methodology:-

1)Create sketch in XY plane

2)Use Extrude Feature

3)Convert sheet metal body from solid body

4)create flange

5)create jog

6)Unbend the sheet

7)Make beads

8)Add holes

9)Rebend sheet

10)Make Flat pattern

Description:-

Feature/tools used to create Odd shped Enclosure:-

1.sketch:-Its used to make a 2D sketch.

2.Extrude:-Its used to extrude 2D sketch.

3.sheet metal from solid:-Its is used to create a sheet metal body from a solid body.

4.flange:-Its used to make flange on the sheet metal body.

5.jog:-Its used to create jog.

6.Unbend:-Its used to unbend the sheet metal body.

7.Bead:-Its used to make beads on surface.

8.Hole:-Its used to create a hole.

9.Rebend:-Its used to make an original shapes to sheet metal body by rebending it.

10.Flat pattern:-its used to make a flat form of component.
