Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_6_Bracket
DESIGN OF A BRACKET USING NX CAD SHEET METAL APPLICATION
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this project is to design a bracket
using NX cad sheet metal application.
INTRODUCTION:
Siemens NX is a high end CAD/CAM/CAE
software. Siemens NX software is a flexible
and powerful integrated solution that helps you
deliver better products faster and more
efficiently. NX delivers the next generation of
design, simulation, and manufacturing
solutions that enable companies to realize the
value of the digital twin.
Sheet metal is a metal formed by an industrial
process into thin , flat pieces. Sheet metal is
one of the fundamental forms used in metal
working and it can be cut and bent in to variety
of shapes . countless everyday objects are
fabricated from sheet metal.
A sheet metal bracket is nothing but a
projection from a wall or over hangs from the
wall to carry a weight . Brackets are often in
the form of volutes, or scrolls and can be
carved , cast, molded.
DESCRIPTION:
First we have to open the NX CAD sheet
metal application and set the sheet metal
preferences for commands.
SKETCH:
It is a basic and initial operation for
creating any kind of sheet metal
components.
CONTOUR FLANGE:
For 2d sketch open profile we can create
a contour flange by giving thickness and
length .
NORMAL CUTOUT:
This feature is used to cut a section using
a reference 2d sketch.
BREAK CORNER:
This feature is used to create a smooth
edge by selecting a fillet or chamfer
option and by defining certain values.
UNBEND:
This is a feature which is used to flatten
the bended edges in a sheet metal part.
BEAD:
This feature is also used to drop or lift
the material along the counter of sketch
that simulates the stamping of sketch.
REBEND:
This feature is used to restore a flatten
sheet metal part.
HOLE:
This feature is used to create holes to any
part with preferred type and specification
of holes.
FLAT PATTERN:
It creates a flat pattern feature from the
formed sheet metal part.
VIEWS:
DRAFTING:
Starts the drafting application which
provides tools to create and maintain
drawings of design model.
1.NEW SHEET: Creates a new drawing
sheet.
2.BASE VIEW : Creates a model based
view on the drawing
sheet.
CONCLUSION:
Thus the design and drafting of Bracket using
NX cad(sheet metal application) has done.
