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

Metal Bracket-II

OBJECTIVE :

• With the help of 2D sketches create metal Bracket-II.

INTRODUCTION :

• In the designing of Bracket-Il by using NX CAD, the main purpose is to create Bracket with the help of 2D sketch.

DESING METHODOLOGY :

DESCRIPTION OF TOOLS USED IN SHEET METAL CASING :

• Open NX12, Go to NEW Then Go SHEET METAL DESIGN, Go to File, Then Save then save as, Given File name and click ok.

DATUM PLANE

• It provides an axis on the work base.

SKETCH

• By the help of this tool 2D sketch to be drawn to get the desired shape.

NORMAL CUTOUT

• It allows making holes as per the sketch and removing materials.

BENDING

• It allows you to bend materials from edges.

CONTOUR FLANGE

• By these tools Created a base feature by extruding along the vector sketch.

UNBEND

• It's do flaten bend.

HOLES

• It allows you to make symmetric standard holes.

DIMPLE

• It is used to lift an area in the Closed sketch of the model.

BEAD

• It is provided to apply stiffness to the surface (Formed), get oval shape (Lanced), get oval shape with relife angel (Punched).

NORMAL CUT

• It is used to remove materials from parts to get the desired shape.

BREAK CORNER

• With the help of these tools used to apply round shape at corners.

UNBEND

• Used to flatten/straighten the sheet part which is in irregular shape.

REBEND

• It is used to get the original shape of the part after the unbend.

ADVANCE FLANGE

• It is used applying the bends on edge with the reference of face. Here bend can be applied for the closed loop also.

GUSSET

• It is used for applying stiffness to part models.

DRAFTING

• It is used to get detail sketched.

Conclusion:

• I understand the basic method to create 2D sketches and make that into the desired structure.
• In this part modeling I used the Gusset feature which provides stiffness to the part.
