Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_6_Bracket

Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_6_Bracket.

Objectives: - To Design a Bracket by using siemens Nx12 sheet metal application.

Introduction:

1. Siemens NX: 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 Design: - NX Sheet metal design provides the design professional with a complete set of tools to efficiently create and manage sheet metal parts based on the knowledge of sheet metal properties and manufacturing processes, NX sheet metal Design tools incorporate material and bending information, Enabling the model to represent both the formed component and flattened blank shapes.

Description:

Sketch: used to create a sketch on any plane

Tab: It is used to create a base feature on the sheet metal.

Flange: - it is used to create an extended part of a sheet metal.

Unbend: - it is used to unbend the sheet metal taking any one face as a stationary face.

Re-bend: used to re-bend the sheet metal.

Dimple: used to create a pitch up and pitch down surface.

Bead: Used for giving strength to the sheet metal.
