Title:Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad - Bracket-2.

Objective:To model bracket using NX CAD application.

Introduction:

1.NX CAD:

NX, formerly known as "unigraphics",is an advanced high-end CAD/CAM/CAE, which has been owned since 2007 by Siemens PLM Software.

2.Sheet metal:

It is metal formed by an industrial process into thin,f lat Sheet Metal parts are manufactured from a single sheet of metal the part must maintain a unif orm wall thickness.Sheet metal parts with a minimum of 0.9mm to 20mm in thickness can be manufactured.

Design methodology:

Tools and features:

• Contour flange:Creates a sheet of different curved profile

• Unbend:Sheet at bended surfaces is unbended.

• Rebend:Unbended surface is rebended.

• Advanced flange:Creates a flange at curved profiled

• Holes:Cuts the sheet onn the hole man

• Break corner:Cutting the corner of sheet in circular

• Normal cutout:Cutting the sheet of profile normall

• Flat pattern:Create a new view of flattening the

• Gusset: It is a feature that strengthens the sheet, which is created at bends.

Model views:

Conclusion: Therefore,bracket is designed using NX CAD application.
