    NXOpen: creating new file from a model template using wrapper functions

    Hello everyone! Is it possible to use legacy wrapper NX Open functions to create new file from a specified model template? I looked up UF_PART_new, but it only creates new file from Blank template.

    NX Open Tree List sorting order

    Hello everyone! Tree List object when requested to sort the results, by default executes alphabetic sorting. Is it possible to set it to alphanumeric sorting? www.cadroad.com

    Aluminium alloy assembly with carbon steel fasteners

    Hello everyone! If aluminium alloy assembly is held together with carbon steel fasteners (screws, washers, sometimes nuts as well) in the industrial environment, will there be an issue with contact corrosion? Shall we galvanize steel fasteners? If so, what is the recommended coating? Will zync...

    Which CAD was used to design Stratolaunch?

    Very impressive! Does anybody know which CAD did they use? Was it NX, CATIA, or something else? www.cadroad.com

    Friction in pneumatic cylinder

    Hello everyone! Pneumatics and sealings is not exactly my field, hence the question. Is there a rule of thumb helping to estimate losses in the pneumatic cylinder? Pristine Force calculation is obviously Area times Pressure. Is it possible to estimate the reduction of the force due to friction...

    Obtaining position of a list member

    Hello everyone! Let's assume I have a list of some string values. It is possible to use nth function to obtain value at given position. Does a out-of-the-box function exist to solve a reverse task - to obtain position of a given value? For example, to obtain 2 if "Trim 2" is given...

    Definition of Design Intent

    Hello everyone! Does formal definition of a term 'Design Intent' exist? I'm interested in the version of it that is related to the parametric CAD models. I found it hard to find a strict definition, perhaps because it is considered a universal knowledge. www.cadroad.com

    Remove component in PTS on condition

    Hello everyone! I'm trying implement a simple visual rule in PTS, but so far I haven't been successful. Let's take a simple case for example - if n < 2, then remove given component. As far as I know, I need to create a rule to remove a component, and then create a different rule with a...

    Java for legacy NX

    Hello everyone! I was busy setting up a VM to contain/mothball NX6.0 and NX7.5 for possible future reference. All is well, but I'm stuck with Java issue. I can't get Relation Browser to work. I tried a lot of things but could not get it to work - given that on my main PC all is working...

    Using Create Animation tool

    I haven't yet studied the High Quality Image Animation tool and is quite in the dark about it's capabilities. Can it be used to animate assembly motion? Is there a simple tutorial which can help me to start with it? Note: The question is specifically about the High Quality Image Animation tool...

    Minimum practicable linear actuator stroke

    Hello everyone! I'm working on some mechanical system which requires linear actuator to be set in motion. Motion limits are narrow and my first study therefore produced the required stroke of an actuator of about 1 mm. I guess it is too little? Shall I take care to increase the required stroke...

    Editing bolt circle diameter with Synchronous

    Hello everyone! I realised that I don't know whether it is possible or not to edit bolt circle diameter with Synchronous technology. Say, if there are six hold lying on 100 mm diameter, and I want them to lie on 120 mm diameter. There is a workaround I am aware of - to delete 5 of the holes...

    Updating attributes on wave-linked objects

    Hello everyone! If I make WAVE-links of objects which have attributes, they are copied along with the object. But if I change the value of the attributes at the source objects, the values at copies are not updated by default. I found that using 'Update for external change' does the job, but...

    Linked attributes with UDF

    Hello everyone! I can assign attributes to the objects, and link them to the expressions - that's the common NX functionality. But if I try to do this with UDF, there is a problem. When UDF is inserted into a part, the attribute becomes constant and no longer linked to the original expression...

    Projecting points keeping attributes

    Hello everyone! Let's assume I have points with attributess assigned to them. Does out-of-the-box solution exist to project these points to some face and also copy attributes to the resulting points? Or is it only NX Open? www.cadroad.com

    Rectangular pattern with different pitches

    Hello everyone! Is it possible to create such pattern using the single Pattern Feature tool (NX8.5 and above)? So that I could put an source hole feature, and get the rest of the holes in order according to the darwing below. Just like we do it with the regular circular patterns, for example...

    Extra line fonts

    Hello everyone! Can we add extra user-defined line fonts to the out-of-the-box fonts? I think we can only replace existing ones - or am I wrong? www.cadroad.com
