Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_6_Bracket
Objective:-
To design the bracket by using the sheet metal application.
Introduction:-
NX CAD is the most powerful used in Designing software, flexible, and innovative product development solution in the industry. NX used for Design has the features, performance and capabilities to help you get the product to market faster than ever before. Designing software used for multi-purposes such as designing, Drawing engineering and manufacturing. It is used in various fields for different types of work. Using various features and methods we have designed here.
Design Methodology:-
Feature Description: -
Contour Flange: -
- It is used to make contour flange by using the 2d sketch.
- I created a contour flange with a length of 340mm normal to the XY plane
Unbend:-
- Unbend is a very useful tool in the NX-CAD. In the Unbend dialogue box, select as stationary face the larger horizontal face of the metal sheet.
- It is used to unbend on the solid body.
Rebend:-
- It is used to make an original shape to a sheet metal body by using the rebend.
- Rebend is used to bend from the unbend parts.
Break Corner:-
- The break corner feature breaks the sharp edge in the corner and makes it round.
- Break corner helps to prevent stress relief and fracture breaking and make the smooth corner.
- It is used to avoid the crushing force of accidents due to sharp corners.
Hole:-
- The hole can be created simple, with a screw clearance hole and a fit.
- set the depth limit option to through the body.
- It is used to create a hole in the sheet metal body.
Views of the Bracket Design:-
Draft Drawing:-
- After the modelling, the manufacturing of the component a technical 2D drawing of the component with accurate dimensions or scales is denoted.
- The draft is created with a scale of 1:1 and using A4 size. and add a new Base View.
- In the Base View dialogue box, select the option Model View to use FLAT-PATTERN.
CONCLUSION:-Designing a bracket with the sheetmetal guidelines has given a very good approach to various tools of Siemens NX that really helpful with saving time , easy to apply and update. Objectives of this project are achieved with desired result.
