Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_5_Odd Shaped Enclosure
Aim: To create the odd-shaped enclosure
Brief: Sheet metal cabinets are widely used in the field of electrical design. You'll find them in everything from junction boxes to control panels for industrial machinery. Simple, versatile, and extremely durable, these enclosures are in high demand for electrical projects and are often made to order.
Methodology:
Tools Used:
- Extrude
- Sheet Metal from Solid
- Flange
- Jog
- Unbend
- Hole
- Bead
- Rebend
Flat Pattern: The Flat pattern command is used to create a 2D construction sketch of the sheet metal model that has been created. It can contain all the dimensions and various other parameters that are necessary to convey the information to someone else, for example, the bend radius, bend direction, and bend angle can be displayed if necessary. The figure below shows the flat pattern of the model that was designed for this challenge and for better inspection, the flat pattern can be observed in the attached model.
