+ | |||
+ | ==== 3.6.5 File for material standards and bending table - extension ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | When you run the Sheet Metal application, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Material Standards file and individual tables such as Material, Bend or Tool table are now versioned. This allows file format changes to be tracked in future NX versions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can now: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Create a separate file for material standards for English and metric units. Use the metric part and English unit user standards to specify the file path. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Use the Internal (INSIDE) and External (OUTSIDE) methods to control the bending angles defined in the bending and tool tables. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Calculate the neutral factor value using one of the following bend definition methods: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Bending Formula (Bend Allowance Formula) | ||
+ | * Bend Deduction Formula | ||
+ | * Bending formula DIN6935 (DIN6935 Formula) | ||
+ | * Tables Bend Allowance and Bend Deduction | ||
+ | |||
+ | Control the bending angle and K factor in the material table by defining the global tool set combination of the punch (P) and die (D). | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the material table, select both the material and the tool. This is possible because the tool table is located in the material table. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Define multiple secondary tables in the Material Standards file, using the bending angle and thickness to calculate the bending radius and K-factor. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Add more columns to the material table to create additional part attributes. You can define a title and value for each attribute. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Define the Relief Depth and Relief Width in the Material table. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== 3.6.6 Replace form element ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can use the Renew Feature command to recalculate form elements created in earlier versions of NX in the current version of the form element. When you regenerate a form element, you create it so that it is faster and more accurate than the original version of the form element. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Unlike form element rendering, which recreates a form element in its original form element version, the Renew Feature command recreates a form element using the current version of NX. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the Renew Feature dialog box, the software displays the list of renewable form elements, including form elements that are hidden, suppressed, or inactive. | ||

+ | ==== 3.6.9 Sheet metal from solid bodies - extensions ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | When you create a sheet metal body from a solid, you now have the following options: | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can specify bend parameters, such as bend radius, K-factor, and bend clearance, for each bend edge. | ||
+ | You can also edit each bend parameter individually. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can hide the parent body to display the resulting sheet metal body. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |{{ : | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. starting edge | ||
+ | 2. end edge | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can now create a bridge fillet form element of type Fold transition between the linear edges of the planar bend faces of the following two sheet bodies: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * A body containing a concatenated extended flange or concatenated contour flange, | ||
+ | |||
+ | * A body that contains neither a complex shape element, such as a concatenated extended flange or concatenated contour flange, nor a relief cutout or setoff. | ||

+ | |@palegrey: **Command search:** |Bridge fillet | | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== 3.6.11 Flange extensions ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you create a flange, you now have the following options: | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can define the length of the unwound flange from a tangent to the outer bend. This corresponds to DIN standard 6935. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note that the measurement of the length of the flange from the tangent depends on the angle of the outer bend. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |{{ : | ||
+ | |The angle of the outer bend is less than 90° | The angle of the outer bend is greater than or equal to 90° | | ||
+ | |If the angle of the outer bend is less than 90°, the tangential length is measured with the intersection of the outer surfaces. |If the angle of the outer bend is greater than or equal to 90°, the tangential length is measured from a plane that is tangential to the outer bend surface and perpendicular to the dimension. | | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can specify that the flange body is on the inside of the bend and you can specify that the material originates from the edge opposite the selected reference edge. To do this, use the new OML (Material Inside OML) option. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. selected reference edge | ||
+ | 2. material inside opposite the selected reference edge | ||
+ | |||
+ | To align these extensions with the flange form element, the DIN 6935 (DIN6935) option has now been renamed to Tangent in the Advanced Flange dialog box. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **When is this function used?** | ||
+ | |||
+ | The extensions allow you to define the flange length in a way that would be measured directly on the finished product. This method is useful when you measure the dimensions of sheet metal parts and check them if they are greater than or equal to 90°. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Where can this function be called?** | ||
+ | |||
+ | |@palegrey: **Application: | ||

+ | ==== 3.6.12 Check-Mate check function for sheet metal cutouts ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Use these new inspection functions to inspect the shape and size of cut-out form elements on a sheet metal product: | ||
+ | |||
+ | |@palegrey: **Check cut-out shape:** |Checks whether the cut-out shape elements have a standard shape for cut-out shape elements, such as round, slot, square, rectangle, and hexagon. | | ||
+ | || |{{ : | ||
+ | |@palegrey: **Check portal size:** |Checks whether the size of the portal form elements matches the specified portal size limit. | | ||
+ | |||
+ | **When is this function used?** | ||
