Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_5_Odd Shaped Enclosure

SHEET METAL ODD SHAPED ENCLOSURE :

MAIN OBJECTIVE :

To make a sheet metal component around a solid block and perform operations like flanges,jogs,beads and holes on it.

DESCRIPTION :

To create a solid block using the sketch and EXTRUDE command with a lenght of 200 MM.
After creating a solid block now wrap the sheet metal around it. using the SHEET METAL FROM SOLID command.
In that command selct the faces to be wraped and edges to obtain filletetd and edge riped sheet metal cover around the solid block.
Now hide the solid block and create a FLANGE on the left side of the sheet metal with 20 MM length and 90 degree angle.
And then create a JOG using the in sketch feature provided in JOG command with height of 20 MM length.
After doing that unbend the component using the UNBEND command selcting a flat face as neutral.
Then create two beads on the flat surface using in sketch feature in BEAD command with 3 MM depth and 3 MM radius.
After creating beads now create holes on the flatten part using the HOLE command with 10 MM diameter on the flatten face.
After performing this operation use REBEND command to get the final output as required.
Now create Flat pattern using FLAT PATTERN command and select the flat face and edges to get the output.
Now go to sheet metal preference's and unchechk all the callouts in flat pattern display except Bend radius,Bend angle and Bend direction.
Now open a drawing file and selct the BASE VIEW option and select flat pattern as the view and 2:1 ration on the A3 size and save the prefix.
