Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_7_ Metal bracket-II
METAL BRACKET 2
Objective:
To design ah sheet metal bracket by using NX CAD sheet metal work bench.
Introduction:
- It is a robust 3D solution that provides fast and realistic concept design and modeling.
- Superior in power and flexibility.
- NX CAD design tools are setting new standards for speed performance and ease of use.
- It supports modeling of complex surfaces, solids and advanced free form modeling (Sheet Metal).
- It is also known as Unigraphics.
Design Methodology:
Commands used while designing:
- Contour flange
- Normal cutout
- Break corner
- Unbend
- Rebend
- Advanced flange
- Hole
- Gusset
1.Contour flange:
Creates a base feature by extruding a sketch along a vector or adds material by sweeping a sketch along an edge or chain of edges.
2. Normal cutout:
Cuts a material by projecting a sketch on to the model and then cutting perpendicular to the faces intersected by the projection.
3. Break corner:
Rounds or chamfers a sharp corner of tab or flange.
4.Unbend:
Flattens a bend and the material adjacent to the bend.
5.Rebend
Restores an unbend feature to its previous bend state along with any features added after the unbend feature.
5.Advanced flange:
Adds a flange along an edge using a bend angle or a reference face. The edge and reference face maybe curved.
6.Hole:
Adds a hole to one or more solid bodies in a part or assembly with options for counterbored, countersunk and threaded.
7.Gusset:
Creates a stiffening gusset on the part.
