Adaptive Connecting Parts with Multi-Bend References | Siemens NX Sheet Metal

About this lesson

Design sheet metal brackets that automatically adapt to geometry changes — using the Multi-Bend References command in Siemens NX

Learn how to use the Multi-Bend References command in Siemens NX to create connecting sheet metal parts that automatically adapt when positions, angles, or dimensions change. In this exercise, you will create three different connecting brackets — an L-bracket and two U-brackets — that are fully associative to their assembly context. Using the WAVE Geometry Linker, the Tab command, and Sketch Section, you’ll define precise contours on linked surfaces. You’ll also manage the Reference Set Model to control visibility in assemblies and drawings. This approach dramatically reduces redesign effort, making it ideal for iterative engineering projects. Available since NX 12, Multi-Bend References is one of the most underused features in NX Sheet Metal.
