Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_7_ Metal bracket-II
Title of The Project:-
Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challeng _7_ Metal Bracket II.
Objective :-
To design a Metal Bracket II using Siemens NX Sheet Metal.
Introduction:-
A bracket is an intermediate component for fixing one part to another. It is used to support weight. Brackets vary greatly in shape, here we suggest an L-shaped bracket.The shape and dimensions of your holder will be determined by the shape of the object it is holding, but will also be influenced by load capacity and ease of manufacture. Keep in mind that the strength aspects of metal bracket construction are not only a function of the thickness of the material, but also the shape of the bracket. As a metal component, adding specific features to the bracket can dramatically improve strength. Shown below are 2 designs of the metal parts, both are the same thickness, but the first part will be significantly stronger due to the wedge small triangular piece welded to the bracket. This is a nice feature to keep the mount profile small but create a strong mount.

Description:-
The Important tools which used during designing of Metal Bracket II are as follow:
Sketch:-
Create Sketch in XZ plane.
Contour Flange:-
Creates a base feature by extruding a sketch along a vector or adding material by dragging a sketch along an edge.
Again Create Sketch:-
Crate Sketch YZ Plane
Normal Cutout:-
It Cut Sketch On a sheet Body.
Unbend:-
This feature helps to release bent shapes into a flat pattern. In the sheet metal, other elements such as cutouts and holes had to be created via a flat configuration. So the applied feature will be normal to the flat surface.
Again Create Sketch for Hole:-
Normal Cutout:-
Rebend:-
This command helps to rebend a previously unbent sheet and have the component in its original form.
Breake Corner:-
It is used For Edge round Shape.
Advanced Flange:-
Add a bend along the edge using a bend angle or reference surface. Edge and reference surface can be curved.
Gusset:-
Creates a stiffener on the part.
Flat Pattern :-
Used to display the entire component in 2D form. This development also displays entire elements with dimensions.
Front View:-
Top View:-
Side View:-
Isometric View:-
Attach Detailed Drawing Sheet Image:-
Drawing is the creation of a technical drawing in a sheet, communication about dimensions and a view of components. The design helps the manufacturing and production department to know about the product design in 2D format.
Feature Tree:-
Conclusion:-
The sheet metal bracket is successfully designed using NX Cad. From this project we understood the advanced features of flanges .
