Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_5_Odd Shaped Enclosure
Project Title -Design of odd enclosure
Objectives-
- Design of odd enclosure
- use the tools like holes bead job etc
- Use nx cad fotware for designing
Introduction
Sheet metal finds its application in automobiles and aerospace industries due to higher strength and less weight . it is easy to form into shapes through punch and die .Based on requirement and the standards sheet metals of varying thickness are used . Sheet metal comes from various materials such as steel , aluminium , brass titanium or more.
Design methodology /Flow chart
Tools used while designing the enclosure
1.Creating a solid body - Create a closed sketch as per given dimensions and extrude it to create a solid body
2.Convert the solid body into sheet metal -
use convert to sheet metal command to convert the solid bdy into sheet metal
3.Create the features such as flanges , jogs
create a flange with respect
Create a jog
4.Create a unbend
5.Create a bead - bead is sa strengthining element of the component
6. create holes -create holes useing hole command
8.Create a Rebeand -
9.Create a flat pattern

Conclusion -
In such a way we have used nx cad for design of enclosure and have ussed diffrent comands for sheet metals such as flanges, jog , holes ,beads
