    Make a Part's position same as its assembled position

    I have 2 parts to be assembled. - I add the parts to a product file and assemble them using Assembly Constraints(3d constraints) - By using 3D Constraints, I reorient one of the parts with respect to the other. But this 'reorientation' is only happened in the product. When I open that part in...

    How to resolve a catalog to use in CATIA Structure Design

    I would be very pleased if someone can explain step-by-step how to resolve DIN profiles catalog in Structure Design? Regards

    How to resolve a catalog to use in CATIA Structure Design

    thank you for your reply. By setup chapter, do you mean the part under the heading "Generating Resolved Parts from Parametric Parts" by using the command "CATCloGenerateResolvedParts.bat"?? I've tried it without success.

    How to resolve a catalog to use in CATIA Structure Design

    Hi, I am trying to model a simple container structure using CATIA Structure Design. When I try to create shape, in the section entry, I select 'other section' option, then the catalogue browser opens, there is only the AISC Resolved Catalogue, but I want to use DIN Profiles, there is a DIN...

    Bungee Cord Modeling??

    I'd think of a special spring or sforce where the stiffness value is zero when the deformation is negative with the aid of a spline and akima function. But wouldnt think of the formulation of the sforce. Regards

    Bungee Cord Modeling??

    Cheers, I want to model a bungee cord to apply force to a sledge like body. The problem with the bungee cords is a bungee cord cannot be compressed like a spring. It only exerts a pulling force when extended. I would be very pleased if you can help me on how to model a bungee cord

    How to make Spring's icon smaller?

    I would be very grateful if someone tells me hot to make the icon of a spring smaller. I tried everything in its appearance menu in vain. Regards

    How to mate a faceted body (NX Human)

    Then what's the use of NX Human if I can't position my Human with respect to the environment that the human interacts? Ok, it is good to have joint movement in the human model, but first I have to position my human to the point where I will evaluate its joint movements.

    How to mate a faceted body (NX Human)

    I have used NX Human module to create a human. It worked fine and now I have a human model. The problem is the model consists of segmented 'faceted bodies'. I have searched the forum for faceted body, and according to the threads, I understand that there is no way to convert a faceted body to a...

    Landing Gear Impact Accelerometer?

    Thanks everyone for the help. Special thanks go to rb1957... We have still not decided to install an accelerometer on the landing gear. Most of the applications use an accelerometer on the CG of the aircraft. If the accelerometer on CG is adequate, I think it will not be necessary to use on LGs...

    Landing Gear Impact Accelerometer?

    In one of our ongoing projects, a customer of ours have asked about landing gear g-meter. I said we would look into that, but I could not find an application so far. This g-meter should record the vertical deceleration of the landing impact on the strut. I would be very glad, if you can...

    How to perform multiple consecutive distance analysis

    Tim, you're right. I am using NX3. But the issue is not related with too many times MB2 clicking. The measure interface does not dissappear after measurement, it simply does not allow you to select any other 2 points for measurement. But ideauser is right on his suggestion. But the problem...

    How to perform multiple consecutive distance analysis

    As far as I know, giving the analysis-->distance command allows us only 1 distance measurement. After I get the results, the interface turns off. I am really bored of giving the distance command repetitively. Is there a way of measuring multiple distances using the same command? Regards

    How to make an assembled parts position permanent out of assembly file

    First of all, thank you very much for your help. I really appreciate it. The question about why such a need...I am also in the aircraft industry (though fairly new). As ewh stated, everything (except parts used in multiple locations, such as hardware) is modelled at aircraft absolute...

    How to make an assembled parts position permanent out of assembly file

    I'm sorry if the title doesn't make any sense. The explanation is as follows: - Suppose we have a bunch of parts to be assembled. - We add the parts to an assembly file and assemble them using mating relations (3d constraints) - By using mates we change the postions and orientations of the...
