Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_6_Bracket
Title of the project:- Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_6_Bracket
Introduction:
NX Sheet Metal provides a set of tools within the NX design environment that allows for simple and fast design of sheet metal parts, dependent on their material and manufacturing process. NX sheet metal design software incorporates material and process information in sheet metal-specific modelling features: bends, flanges, tabs, cutouts, beads, dimples, louvers, corner and edge treatments, patterns and other formable features.
We can also quickly convert solid models to sheet metal components, and create sheet metal parts that enclose other components.
NX Sheet Metal-specific features such as flanges, tabs, jogs, corner conditions, and drawn cutouts & many more along with productivity enhancements such as – automatic bend relief
Design methodology:
Description:
The important tools which used during designing of Casing are as follow:
- TAB: Creates a base feature by extruding a sketch along a vector by a thickness value or adds a material to a plane face.
- Cutout: Cuts the model perpendicular to the sketch.
- Bend: Modifies the model by bending material on one side of a sketch line adding a bend between the two sides
- Contour Flange: Adds a flange with respect to sketch.
- Normal Cutout: This command is used to remove the unwanted material w.r.t to the sketch.
- Break Corner: Rounds a sharp corner
- Unbend: Flattens a bend
- Hole: Hole command use to create a hole on one or more solid bodies in a part or assembly with option for counterbored, countersunk, and threaded.
- Rebend: Restores a bend
- Flat Pattern: Creates flat pattern feature from the formed sheet metal part.
- Bead: Lifts a material along a counter of sketch that simulates stamping a tool.
