Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_5_Odd Shaped Enclosure

REPORT :

TITLE OF THE PROJECT :

The title of the project is NX_ODDENCLOSURE_DILEEPKUMAR

OBJECTIVE :

The Main objective of this project is to design the wrap around of the sheet metal for the given component and to bend and unbend the sheet metal and to take the final drawing of the flattern surface.

INTRODUCTION :

Generally sheetmetal thickness range varies from 0.4mm to 6mm then it is called has sheetmetal,The sheet metal modellin is used for designing the models like the battery cases,casing for the radiators and also for creating the models that have rectangular or the square shape or the L brackets etc these kind of objects are more convinent for designing the objects.

If the thickness is less than 0.4mm then it is called has foil.

If the thickness is more tham 6mm then it is called has plate.

In this design first the solid object is created with the requried dimensions and later the sheetmetal wrap is created around the object and the requried bends are given and the holes are given has per the dimensions.

DESIGN METHODOLOGY:

DESCRIPTION :

Tab : It creates the base feature by extruding the sketch by a thickness value along the given vector direction.

Flange : It is used to extend the corner of the component to a requried length at the given angle

Closed Corner : It is used to close the corner where the two adjacent flanges meet.

Hem : It folds the edge of the flange over on to itself for the purpose of the safe handling and to increse the stiffness at the edge.

Dimple : It is used to increase or decrease the surface height without changing the thickness of the surface basically embosses are created generally defined has the raised or the recessed part.

Bead : It lifts the material along the counter of the sketch that stimulates a stamping tool

CONCLUSION :

The final design is produced from the given guidelines and has satisfied all the requriements.
