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

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.
1.jpgSheet 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.jpgNext, 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
