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

METAL BRACKET

Objective :

• To create metal bracket using NX Sheetmetal application.

Introduction :

• Metal bracket is a sheetmetal work piece modeled by using NX Sheetmetal application.

Design approch :

Features used while designing :

1.Sketch: Use the direct sketch tools to add curves,dimensions,constrains ets.

2.Counter flange: This feature creats a base feature by extruding a sketch along a vector .

3.Normal cutout: It cuts material by projecting a sketch onto the model and cutting perpendicular to the faces incresed by the projection.

4.Break corner: This feature rounds or chamfers the sharp edge of a tab or flange.

5.Unbend: Flattens a bend and the material adjacent to the bend.

6.Rebend: Restores an unbende feature to its previous bend state along with any features added after the unbeng feature.

7.Advanced flange: This command to add flange along an edge using a bend angle or a referance face. The edge and referance face can be curved .

8.Hole: Adds hole to one or more solid bodis in a partor assembly with options for counter bored,countersunks and thredded.

9.Gusset: Creats a stiffning gusset on the part.
