Odd Shaped Enclosure using NX Cad

Title:- Odd Shaped Enclosure using NX Cad

Objective:- To design Odd enclosure using NX Cad

Introduction:-

For creating odd shaped enclosure i have used various features in NX Cad.

some of the features are tab, sheet metal from solid, unbend, flange, jog, bead, rebend, hole, flat pattern

Design methodology:-

Description:-

Tab:-

It is the base for extruding a sketch to make a sheet metal in a planar face by changing its thickness.

Extrude:-

Extrude is a method of defining 3D geometry by translating a 2D sketch normal to the sketch plane.

Sheet metal from solid:-

This tool is used to convert solid profile into sheet metal.

Flange:-

It add flat surface or an angular surface on the edge of the surface to create an extended surface.

Jog:-

The jog is used to create a flange by lifting the material on one side of the sketch profile.

Unbend:-

It is used for Unbending corners of the body.

Bead:-

It is used to create a conture shape according to the sketch in the required direction with required punch/die radius.

Hole:-

A Hole feature is used to create holes on the model.

Rebend:-

It is used for bending corners of the unbend body.

Flat pattern:-

Flat pattern is used to create flat pattern view which is used for drafting purposes.

Screenshots:-

Conclusion:-

Thus, we have succesfully designed the odd shaped enclosure using NX Cad.
