Design of Bracket using NX sheet metal application.

Objective:
To design a Bracket by using Siemens NX sheetmetal Application.

Introduction:
NX Siemens contains a series of applications that support different workflows, such as creating parts, building an assembly, or producing a drawing. And NX Siemens sheetmetal application provides an environment for the design of sheetmetal parts used in Machinery, Automotive industry and Aerospace etc.

Design Of Methodology:

Work flow to design a Bracket.

• Sketch the 2D shape of the Bracket.
• Create Contour Flange.
• Create Normal cutout using 2d skecth on base.
• Add Break corner.
• Unbend the part and add Hole.
• Rebend the part after applying of required features
• Create flat pattern.
• Create a drawing sheet by using of drafting.

Description:

Tools used:

1. Sketch: Used to create a 2D sketch on the plane.
   
   
2. Line: Used to draw a line.
   
   
3. Fillet: Bend the sharp edges.
   
   
4. Circle: Used to draw a circle.
   
   
5. Point: Used to create a point in the sketch.

Features Used:

1. Tab: Use to create a base feature by extruding a sketch along a vector by thickness valve or by adding material to existing faces & bend regions of sheet metal part.
   
   
2. Normal Cutout: It is used to create the cutout to the material by projecting a sketch onto the model and then cutting perpendicular to the faces intersected by the projection.
   
   
3. Bend: It is used to bend the material by projecting a sketch on the model perpendicular to the faces intersected by the projection.
   
   
4. Contour Flange: Use to add a base ,by skecthing 2D in a plane.
   
   
5. Break Corner: Use to round or chamfer sharp corners of a tab or flange.
   
   
6. Unbend: It is reverse of bend feature , used to add some more feature.
   
   
7. Hole: Use to create a hole in the body using standard valves.
   
   
8. Rebend: Use to gain the original position.
   
   
9. Flat Pattern: Used to create a flat pattern feature form the formed sheetmetal part.
   
   
10. Base View: Creates the model based view on the drawing sheet.

Conclusion :
Design Bracket using sheet metal in NX & view the drawing using drafting application.
