Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_7_ Metal bracket-II
1:Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad_Metal bracket-susan
2.OBJECTIVE: The main objective is to create sheet metal using SIMENS NXSheet metal application
3.INTRODUCTION: NX CAD is one of the modelling software .it was mainly used in design of sheet metal parts used in machinery,automotive,aerospace etc
4.DESIGN METHOD:

Description
TAB: create a base feature by extruding a sketch along the vector by a thickness value
BEND: create a bend to sheet metal at angle to form desired shape
FLANGE: adds a flat flange at an angle to a planar face and add bend between the two
Advance FLANGE:add a flange along an edge using bend angle
Break CORNERS:rounds the sharp corner of the tab or flange
normal cutout: cuts the material by projecting the sketch on the model
HOLES: add a hole to the body
Gusset:creates a stiffening gusset on the part
