Explanation of Tools
1.Sketch: it is a tab in which we can create 2D sketches and give the required dimensions by incorporating different geometrical shapes like rectangle , line, curve, circle etc, this 2D sketch is used for the 3D developments by using Tab option
2.Tab: creates a base feature by extruding a sketch along a vector by a thickness value or adds a material to a plane face
3.Cut Out : it is used to create a pocket in desired shape, one can remove material by sketching the shape on the solid body and using this Cut Out tab
- Bend :It modifies the model by bending material on one side of a sketch line adding a bend between the two sides.
-
Break Corner : this commands allows to rounding off the sharp corners
-
.Undbend : It makes the part unbend that all the features done are made flat. This is useful while sketching on the corners and bends
-
Hole : his command allows user to create a hole in the part by sketching a point on the sheet metal
- ReBend : This command puts back all the bends already created also along with a new feature includes while in unbent state
9. Guesset : it is used to strengthen flange without use of secondary process.
Conclusion : TheBRACKET II have been drafted by using NX CAD software version 12
