Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_6_Bracket

Title of the Project: Advanced Sheet Metal Bracket Design Using NX Cad

Objective: To create an Advanced Sheet Metal Bracket Design Using NX Cad

Introduction: Sheet metal having thickness 0.6mm to 6mm is easy to work and manufacture as seen in this bracket modeland perform operations like rolling,flattening and stiffening. Applying bead and hole feature is handy.In this project we have used stiffening process on the bracket design.

Design methodology / approach (To be explained with the help of Flowcharts only)

Description (Need to explain tools/ Features used while designing)

• The sketch: A sketch on the XZ plane and must be constrained

• Contour flange:Feature used to provide thickness and the length along the sketch plane to create the solid body

• Normal cutout sketch:The sketch is created in on the XY plane which can be later used to make cutout

• Normal Cutout:This option helps to cut out material as per the sketch provided in the XY plane on this bracket design

• Break Corner:This feature is used to cut shape edges as per given radius and provide a smooth profile along the specified edges of this bracket

• Bead Sketch:It has to be sketch to provide the curve line for this feature

• Unbend: Unbend has to be done before adding features like bead,hole or dimple

• Bead: This feature is used to create bead on the surface by giving a specified depth and radius

• Rebend:Once add features are done we can rebend the braket to its original shape to get the final output

• Hole: Hole feature can be given by creating a sketch or by providing a point ont he surface

• Final output of the Bracket design

Conclusion: The bracket design with added features has been completed.

NOTE: The bracket design sheet metal design model has been saved as "NX_Bracket_Sashwin_Mohan" with an extension of ".prt"
