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

TITLE OF THE PROJECT

Design a metal Bracket Using NX Cad by following the design rules.

OBJECTIVE

Design a Sheet metal bracket and provide all the design feature to it according to the design rules.

INTRODUCTION

Brackets can support many architectural items, including a wall, balcony, TV antennas, pergola roof, window box, or a shelf. In addition to creating a connection between two parts, a metal bracket can be used to provide support.

DESIGN METHODOLOGY

DESCRIPTION

CREATE FILE:- Create a sheet metal design file in Nx Cad and name it.

FLANGE CREATION:- Create a sketch and Use CONTOUR FLANGE to create a 158mm flange.

UNBEND:- Use UNBEND command and select a stationary face and the bend faces to create a flat model.

CREATE CUTOUT:- Create cutout as per the design rule and use NORMAL CUTOUT command to cut the part according to the sketch.

BREAK CORNER:- Use BREAK CORNER command to smoothen the sharp edges of the part.

CREATE HOLES:- Create points on the part according to the design guidline and use HOLES commands to create holes of 6mm dia.

ADVANCED FLANGE CREATION:-

CREATE GUSSET:- A sheet metal gusset is an indented feature that forms a gusset to stiffen a bend in sheet metal part. To create gusset, Open SB GUSSET command then select bend face and adjust the plane according to where you want to create gusset.
