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

Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX CAD_Metal_Bracket

Objective:  To design a Metal Bracket by using Siemens NX12 Sheet metal application.

Introduction:

NX sheet metal Design provides the design professional with a complete set of tools to efficiently create and manage sheet metal parts based on the knowledge of materia properties and manufacturing processes.NX sheet metal design tools incorporate material and bending information,enabling the model to represent both the formed component and flattend blank shapes

Design Methodolgy:

Tools and Features:

1.Flang: This feature is used to add flat flange at an angle to planar face and add bend between then two. It consists of bend region and web region

2.Unbend: This feature is used to unbend the sheetmetal on stationary face

3.Rebend: This command helps to rebend the unbend command of the sheet metal after it is used when needed

4.Gusset: It is kind of embos given to a sheet metal to increase its strength

5.Holes: This feature is used to creat holes as per the sketch drawn for the model

6.Advance Flang: It is used to give flange to the curved edges

Conclusion: Metal Bracket is obtained using basic feature of sheet metal application
