Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_6_Bracket
Title of the Project : Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_6_Bracket.
Objective : To design a Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad sheet metal application.
Introduction :
Unigraphics NX (also known as Siemens nx) is an advanced High-end CAD/CAM/CAE software package originally developed by UGS Corporation, But since 2007 it is owned by Siemens PLM Software. It is used, among other tasks, for Design ,Engineering analysis ,Manufacturing finished design by using included machining modules.
NX Sheet Metal provides a set of tools within the NX design environment that allows for simple and fast design of sheet metal parts, dependent on their material and manufacturing process, the most common of which is straight brake sheet metal forming.
Design methodology :
Description :
Contour flange :Ads flange on an edge and create a bend between two walls. The flange can only be made on a straight edge.To activate command.Click on command on (When sheet metal application activated.) “ Home => Bend Group => Flange”Activate command from “Menu => Insert => Bend => Contour Flange”
Break corners: It breaks the sharp edges of the corner and make smooth like fillets or chamfer. It prevent the fracture breaking from the sharp corners.
Unbend : It allows all the bend to unbend sheet.It is necessary to choose the bend, it can also to box select all the bend at once.
Hole : Hole feature is just like the same as the put a hole in the sheet eith respective measurements of sktch.
Beads: Beads are the features added in the sheet metal to increase the stffness of the component.
Procedure:
Create a sketch for contour flange.
And create a contour flange using the sketch with thickness of 3 mm and width 200mm.
Create a sketch for normal cutout.
And create a normal cutout using sktch with the cut method of thickness and depth of 35 mm.
Break the corner using break corner with the appropriate values.
After the Break the corner using break corner with the appropriate values.
Unbend the sheet metal to add more features. For that use unbend command.
After unben the base use sketch for add bead with the depth of 7 mm and radius of 7 mm.
Ensure the die radius at 5mm.
And rebend the base as before it.
Add a hole using the points.
Measure the distance between the hole using measure distance command.
Final resullt is Bracket.
