      NX 9 for Beginners - Part 5 (Sheet Metal Design) - CADfolks

      Sheet Metal Design

      You can you make sheet metal parts by bending and forming flat sheets of metal. In NX, sheet-metal parts can be folded and unfolded enabling you to show them in the flat pattern as well as their bent-up state. There are two ways to design sheet-metal parts in NX. Either you can start the sheet-metal part from scratch using sheet-metal features throughout the design process or you can design it as a regular solid part and later convert it to a sheet-metal part. Most commonly, you design sheet-metal parts in Sheet Metal environment from the beginning.  In this chapter, you will learn both the approaches.

      The topics covered in this chapter are:

      Tabs

      Flanges

      Bend Allowance

      Bend Tables

      Counter Flanges

      Hems

      Close 2-Bend Corners

      Bends

      Jogs

      Dimples

      Louvers

      Drawn Cutouts

      Beads

      Gussets

      Etches

      Embosses

      Cuts

      Convert to Sheet Metal

      Rip Corners

      Flat Pattern

      Export to DXF or DWG

      Starting a Sheet Metal part

      To start a new drawing, click Home > Standard > New on the ribbon, and then double-click on the Sheet metal.psm template on the New dialog.

      Sheet Metal Part Properties

      Sheet Metal Part Properties define the type of material and bend allowances. You can define these properties by clicking File > Preferences > Sheet Metal. On the Sheet Metal Preferences dialog, select Parameter Entry > Value Entry and type-in values in the Material thickness, Bend radius, Relief depth, Relief width boxes.

      2.jpg

      Next, type-in a value in Neutral Factor Value box. The Neutral Factor is the ratio that represents the location of neutral sheet measured from the inside face with respect to the thickness of the sheet metal part. The Neutral Factor defines the bend allowance of the sheet metal part. The standard formula that calculates the bend allowance is given below.

      A = Bend Allowance

      R = Bend Radius

      K = Neutral Factor
