Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_7_ Metal bracket-II
Design of Metal Bracket-2 by Using NX CAD
Objective: - To design sheet metal bracket by using given dimension in NX cad software.
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. With NX Sheet Metal, formed and unformed representations of the parts are created closely following the industry workflows and best practices for bending calculations, tooling, and sheet metal features.
Sheet Metal is a metal with a small thickness ranging from 1-3 mm which is made thin and flat by rolling or hammering process. A number of mechanical components are made up of Sheet Metal. Sheet metal is widely used in the manufacturing industry due to its various advantages. In this project, sheet metal is designed in Siemens NX CAD software following the industrial approach. The use of a parametric modeling environment is the main use made in this project.
Design Methodology:
Description :-
- Normal cut out :-It is a command to cut material by projecting a sketch onto the model and then cutting perpendicular to the surfaces.
- Break corner :-It is a command to round or chamfer sharp corners of a tab or flange.
- Unbend :-It is a command used to flatten the sheet metal with respect to one flat sheet.
- Rebend :-It is a command used to restore the unbend.
- Hole :- It is a command is used to create a hole on the surface.
- Gusset :-is a command which add a rib like structure between two sheet metal. It is also used for stiffening sheet metal.
- Advanced flange :-It is a type of flange command which can create flange over curved edges also.
- Contour flange :-It is a base feature by extruding a sketch along the vector or adds material by sweeping a sketch on edge.
