Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_6_Bracket
TITLE: Designing of Bracket using NX CAD Sheet Metal application.
OBJECTIVE: To model an L-shaped bracket with given 2-D input.
INTRODUCTION:
Sheet metal brackets have a variety of applications in the automobile industry. Depending on the application and working conditions different materials can be used to create brackets. Such as Titanium, Aluminium, SS, Plastic material, Ceramic, etc. In this Project, we are going to model a simple L-shaped bracket using the given 2-D data.
DESIGN METHODOLOGY:
DESCRIPTION:
Step1: SKETCH- Sketch an outline of contour flange feature with dimensions from a front view.
Step2: CONTOUR FLANGE- It will extrude the outline of the sketch along a vector. the thickness of the sheet metal is initially provided.
Step3: NORMAL FLANGE- Normal cutout is used to remove the excess material from the part and provide the required geometric part.
Step4: BREAK CORNER- Break corner is used to provide a fillet type faster to the sharp corners of the sheet metal. It is used to provide safety as well as to relieve stress concentration.
Step5: BEAD- Bead feature will provide stiffness to the bracket. The height of the feature is kept according to DFM guidelines.
Step6: HOLE- Hole command is used to provide mounting holes for the bracket all the holes have a size of M18 with a fit of H13. The distance from the edge ia also according to DFM standards.
