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

DESIGN OF BRACKET 2 IN NX

OBJECTIVE: The primary objective of this project or challenge is to create a sheet metal bracket in the NX 11 application and to know the uses or applications of brackets.

INTRODUCTION

The Siemens NX is also known as Unigraphics NX is an advanced high end CAD /CAM/ CAE software package originally developed by UGS corporation, but since 2007 it is owned by Siemens PLM software. it is used for tasks such as design, engineering analysis and manufacturing finished design by using included machining module.

NX11 introduces capabilities for convergnt modelling, rapid manufacturing, improved annotations, drafting and documentation and rendering. active workspace in NX11 is build around these items to provide seamless access to PLM capabilities right within NX.

NX sheet metal provides set of tools within the NX design environment that allows simple and fast design of sheet metal parts dependent on their material and manufacturing peocesses, the most common of which is straight brake metal forming.

The NX advanced sheet metal is now the product to choose for creating aerospace parts. typically the aerospace sheet metal parts have planar tabs and webs, with the flanges being offset from a curved surface of the fuselage skin for the frames and ribs in the wings have their flanges offset from the airfoil skin. using the advanced flange the tabs and webs are automaticaly trimmed andflanges added as a reference to the airframe or wing's skin.

The sheet metal brackets are used in applications to mount hold an object from antennas to tv's , projectors or street lights etc..,
