Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_6_Bracket
Modelling and drafting of a Sheet Metal Bracket.
Objective
To Design a sheet metal bracket.
To Draft the designed sheet metal bracket.
Introduction
Our main aim is to design a sheet metal bracket using, various tools and commands in NX cad.
Drafting of the designed sheet metal bracket by using NX Cad.
Flowchart
Description
The solid sheet metal bracket is designed by drawing a 2D sketch in a plane and creating a Contour flange out of it.
Even some commands need to be used to obtain the desired Sheet metal bracket.
Features used in creating the sheet metal bracket are
Sketch
Contour Flange
Normal Cutout
Break Corner
Unbend
Bead
Rebend
Local Radius
Hole
Measure Distance
Drafting
Sketch
Creates a 2D sketch in the current application. Use the direct sketch tools to add curves, dimensions, constraints, etc.
Contour Flange
Creates a base feature by extruding a sketch along a vector, or adds material by sweeping a sketch along an edge or chain of edges.
Normal Cutout
Normal Cutout is used to cut material by projecting a sketch into the model & then cutting perpendicular to the faces intersected by the projection.
Break Corner
Break corner command rounds or chamfers a sharp corner of a tab or flange.
Unbend
Unbend flattens a bend and the material adjacent to the bend.
Bead
Bead command lifts material along the contour of a sketch that simulates a stamping tool.
Rebend
Restores an unbend feature to its previous bent state, along with any features added after the unbend feature.
Local Radius
calculates geometric properties of selected points on curves, edges, and faces.
Hole
Adds a hole to one or more solid bodies in a part or assembly with options for counterbored, countersunk, and threaded.
Measure Distance
Calculates the distance between two objects, the length of curves, or the radius of an arc, circular edge, or cylindrical face.
Drafting
Drafting command starts the drafting application, which provides tools to create and maintain drawings of the design model.
