SHEET METAL DEFORM FEATURES
Purpose Objectives

Punch type features or deform features are • Upon completion of the lesson, you will be
commonly used to create indentation, vents, and able to:
cutouts in sheet metal design
• Recognize the types of deform features such as
Dimple, Lover, Drawn Cutout, Bead, Solid
Punch, and Gusset.

• Know how and when to create deform features


in sheet metal parts.
BEAD

Use this command to lift material along the contour of a


sketch that simulates a stamping tool. Beads can also be
created to stiffen sheet metal parts.

You can:

• Specify the shape of the bead cross section and the type of end
condition treatment you want.

• The following example shows a Bead feature with a V-shaped


cross section and tapered end condition.
SHEET METAL DEFORM FEATURES
Create a Bead feature across cylindrical bends in the unbent state. You can rebend the part after you
create the Bead feature.

• To create Bead features across bends, the Unbend, Bead, and Rebend features have to be created in
NX 8.5 or later.

• If the depth direction of the Bead feature is same as the bend direction, the depth of the Bead
feature must be smaller than the bend radius.

• You cannot flatten a Bead feature.


Bead dialog box
BEAD

• Section Select Curve lets you sketch a new profile from within the feature or
select an existing curve.

• Bead Properties Cross Section Specifies the type of bead feature you want to create.

Circular Creates a bead in a half-circle shape.

U-Shaped Creates a bead with a flat bottom and angled sides.


BEAD
• V-Shaped Creates an arc-shaped bead with an inside radius that you can modify.
• Depth The depth of the Bead feature, measured from the section string to the
center of the indentation.

• Reverse Direction Changes the direction of the bead in relation to the base part.
• Radius Sets the radius of the curve on the inside of the bead.
• Width Appears when Cross Section is set to U-Shaped. Sets the bottom width
inside of the bead.
• Angle Appears when Cross Section is set to U-Shaped or V-Shaped.
Specifies the taper angle for the bead.

The angle is measured relative to the default sidewall angle of 90 degrees.
