Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_6_Bracket

Title: Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad - Bracket.

Objective: To model bracket using NX CAD application.

Introduction:

1. NX CAD: NX, formerly known as "unigraphics", is an advanced high-end CAD/CAM/CAE, which has been owned since 2007 by Siemens PLM Software.
   
   
2. Sheet metal: It is metal formed by an industrial process into thin, flat pieces. Sheet Metal parts are manufactured from a single sheet of metal the part must maintain a uniform wall thickness. Sheet metal parts with a minimum of 0.9mm to 20mm in thickness can be manufactured.

Design methodology:

Tools and features:

• Closed corner: Creating or closing the corner of sheet.
  
  
• Unbend: Sheet at bended surfaces is unbended.
  
  
• Rebend: Unbended surface is rebended.
  
  
• Bead: Profile is beaded for strengthening the sheet.
  
  
• Holes: Cuts the sheet onn the hole manner.
  
  
• Break corner: Cutting the corner of sheet in circular manner.
  
  
• Normal cutout: Cutting the sheet of profile normally.
  
  
• Flat pattern: Create a new view of flattening the sheet.
