Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_7_ Metal bracket-II

DESIGN OF SHEETMETAL BRACKET-II USING SIEMENS NX CAD

 

Objective:

The main objective of this project is to design the sheet metal bracket-II using the siemens NX CAD software.

Introduction:

Siemens NX CAD is a software which is used for design features like modelling, sheet metal, shape studio, drafting etc. Its applications are in aircraft bodies, automobile bodies, utensils used for domestic purposes, beverage cans, etc. In this project we learn how to produce a sheet metal bracket-II by the sheet metal and drafting applications.

Design methodology/approach:  

 

 

Description:

Briefly explained about the features used in designing the sheet Bracket-II.

• Contour flange:

This command creates a base feature by extruding a sketch along a vector.

• Normal cutout:

This feature cuts material by projecting a sketch onto the model and then cutting perpendicular to the faces intersected by the projection.

• Breakout corner:

This command creates rounds or chamfers a sharp corner of a tab or flange.

• Unbend:

This feature flattens the bend and a material adjacent to the bend.

• Advanced flange:

This feature adds a flange along an edge using a bend angle or reference face.

• Hole:

This feature helps to add hole in one or more solid bodies in a part or assembly with options for counterbored, countersink and threaded.

• Gusset:

This feature creates a stiffening gusset on a part.

• Rebend:

This feature restores an unbend feature to its previous bend state, along with any feature added after the unbend feature.

• Flat pattern:

This feature creates a flat pattern feature from the formed sheet metal part.

• Drafting:

This starts the drafting application, which provides tools to create and maintain drawings of the created model.

Different views of the bracket-II:

• Front view

 

• Left side view

 

• Right side view

 

• Isometric view

 

• Top view

 

• Studio view

 

• Flat pattern view

 

• Drawing sheet

 

Conclusion:

We hereby conclude that the sheet metal bracket-II has been designed with the mentioned parameters by using all the features in the Siemens NX sheet metal and drafting application.
