    Do You Use What You Learned in School for Your Job?

    Calculus 2 & 3 and physics was important so I can know what the heck those triple integrals meant when engineering equipment and that hoop stress wasnt a basketball rim. Haha, but on a serious note...it just wouldnt feel right to have a science in engineering degree without those courses learned.

    Would You Encourage Your Kids to become Engineers?

    Okay fine, physics, masters in mathematics do get my attention...engineering isnt for everyone...just because someone can't make it in engineering doesnt mean they arent "smart" people. Let an individual fallow his/her own path in life. I would recommend engineering to my children only...

    Failed to open ?? problem, please help

    Hello all, I have several important files that, for some reason, are now failing to open. It seems that everytime I create a new model (nx3), any old files will no longer open. Can anyone help me ? :( -Rich

    Please help, im stuff (NX 3.0)

    I sketched the model and then extracted it. Is there a way, such as uniting the bodies together and then chamfer an edge of the part. That pretty much what I was planning on doing is indenting.
