Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_6_Bracket

Advanced sheet metal design using NX CAD challenge 6 bracket
Objective:
To design a bracket by using Siemens NX12 sheet metal application.
Introduction:
Siemens NX: NX formely known as “unigraphics” is an advanced high –
end CAD/ CAM/ CAE, which has been owned since 2007 by Siemens PLM
software.
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 material 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.
Design methodology:
Description:
Sketch – It is a basic of any design.
Tab – It is used to create base feature of a sheet metal.
Flange – It is used to create an extended part of a sheet metal.
Unbend – This feature is used to unbend the sheet metal taking any one face as
a stationary face.
Rebend – Used to rebend the sheet metal.
Bead – Used for giving strength to the sheet metal.
Local radius analysis – To measure radii formed in sheet metal.

Conclusion:
Bracket is obtained using basic feature of sheet metal application.
