Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX Cad Challenge_7_ Metal bracket-II
TITLE OF THE PROJECT :- Advanced Sheet Metal Design Using NX CAD Challenge_7_Metal Bracket-2.
OBJECTIVE - To design a Metal Bracket-2 by using Siemens NX12 Sheet metal application.
INTRODUCTION :
1. SIEMENS NX : 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 DESIGN : NX sheet metal Design provides the design professional with a complete set of tools to efficiently create and manage sheet metal parts based on the knowledge of material properties and manufacturing processes. NX sheet metal design tools incorporate material and bending information, enabling the model to represent both the formed component and flattened blank shapes.
DESIGN METHODOLOGY
1. Create a sketch on XZ plane 2. Create Contour Flange

3. Create a sketch on YZ plane 4. Create Normal cutout

5. Create a sketch on YZ plane 6. Create Normal cutout

7. Create a sketch on YZ plane 8. Create Normal cutout

9. Create a sketch on YZ plane 10. Create Normal cutout

11. Create Break corners

12. Create Unbend 13. Create a sketch on YZ plane 14. Create Normal cutout

15. Create Rebend 16. Create Break corners


17. Create Advanced Flange 18. Create Unbend 19. Create Hole

20. Create Normal Cutouts 21. Create an Advanced Flange

22. Create Rebend 23. Create Gussets


24. Final

DESCRIPTION
SKETCH - It is a basic of any design.
TAB - it is used to create base feature of a sheet metal. Flange - it is used to create a extended part of a sheet metal.
UNBEND - This feature is used to unbend the sheet metal taking any one face as a stationary face.
REBEND - used to rebend the sheet metal.
ADVANCED FLANGE - It is used to give flange to the curved edges.
GUSSET - It is kind of embossing given to a sheet metal to increase its strength.
