Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_6_Bracket

Objective: To design a Bracket using Siemens NX Sheet metal application.

DESIGN METHODOLOGY:

• Open new sheet metal part in NX cad
• Create contour flange using sketch with given parameters
• Cut the body using normal using given dimensions
• Give some break corners with required dimensions
• Unbend the model and create bead with using line sketch
• Create some holes as per requirements
• Rebend the model
• If required create the drawing sheet using draft tool for understanding to customer
• Hence the model is ready

Description :

Create the base sketch from reference to the given bracket sketch. Create the sketch profile as shown in the below picture

By using contour flange, create the base to a length of 200 mm

Create a sketch on top plane.Create the normal cut out from the drawn profile

Smoothen the sharp corners using break corner option with a radius values of 25 mm on the outer edges, 30 mm for the inner edge and 60 mm in the corner.

Create sketch for bead

Unbend the bracket

Create bead form the profile created

Rebend the bracket

Create a points on top view to locate the holes.Create the holes using hole command
