    Spacecraft Seat Emergency Load Conditions

    Good afternoon, everyone. I am familiar with the aircraft seat emergency landing conditions set forth in 14 CFR 25.562, and I was just wondering if there are similar load conditions or dynamic tests that spacecraft seats are subject to by the FAA, NASA, or other regulatory body. Thanks!

    Features and Model Updates

    Good morning everyone, A co-worker and I came up with a somewhat hypothetical question regarding features and model updates. Let's say I have a part with around 50 or 100 blend features at the end of the model tree. Each blend feature is for one specific radius and one part of the model. For...

    NX 7.5 - Assembly Constraints w/ Gray Text?

    Good morning, Eng-Tips, I have run across an assembly file that has some assembly constraints whose text is "grayed-out" in the Dependencies pane of the Assembly Navigator. I've attached an image to clarify (I removed part numbers for confidentiality reasons). I've looked online and through...

    NX7.5: Thicken Failure Analysis

    Hi John, I needed to thicken the part to 0.100". It will thicken up to some fraction of that (I think it was .085 or .095"), but it won't thicken to what I need. I found that by removing the offending blends from the sheet body, I could thicken the part, then apply the blends to the solid body...

    NX7.5: Thicken Failure Analysis

    Good morning, everyone. I have a sheet body I tried to thicken this morning, but the thicken operation failed. I clicked the "Show failure data" button in the thicken menu, but I am unsure how to interpret the results. The information window provides the following info: Error data: ifail =...

    Can't Unite Mirrored Body

    Hi again everyone, I have created a part and mirrored it, but I cannot unite the mirrored body with the original body. I get an error that says, "Unable to perform Boolean". I am using NX 7.5, and I have tried deleting the mirrored body and recreating it, part cleanup, and re-associating Unite...

    Check Status of all Interpart Links in a Given Part

    Hi everyone, In NX 7.5 is there a quick way to check the status (ie. "Up to Date", "Not Up to Date") of ALL interpart links in a given part file? I can double-click each linked feature in the model tree and it will tell me one at a time what the status is, or I can call up an information window...
