I have a fairly simple question actually, that I'm sure will result in a not-so-simple answers for all analysis cases.
My question is the following: are swept meshes always better? In terms of analysis time, convergence and results accuracy.
A good example would be a hat stiffener beam which is...
Inspired by the "Lock view in CATIA" thread. I know there's been a few threads about this before, but it's still pretty vague to me. Phrasing it this way might give more clarity.
Give me, please, 1-2 strong reasons for volumes in Catia.................!
Thanks!
I always wondered why? is it that hard to program? or is it largely a case of pricing set at what large companies are just still willing to pay for their licenses?

I was wondering if there is a setting that will only show me on flag with the absolute minimum value along the curve? I now turn on the "Particular" option and it shows me min/max values but it shows me many of them located all along the curve.
Firstly, I don't care for the maximum. And second...
I find this functionality very handy, it doesn't require me to double-click the parent assembly of a part I want to move. It automatically finds the closest parent and moves the single part instead of whatever is highlighted blue in the tree.
I was wondering, can this behaviour be set for the...
I am wondering, to anybody who uses EHI for harnessing, what is your opinion on the "Straight Bend" calculation mode?
I find it gives me a much easier time achieving my required bend radius. But is this too good to be true? I think it must be, it looks like it treats a flexible cable as if it...
I'm trying to quickly select a bunch of faces, it concerns a standard part downloaded from the net that has too many little notches and details and I want to use remove face to get rid of them.
Problem is, selecting faces one by one is tedious. I can find no way to box select a whole bunch of...
I was wondering, suppose I had drawn out a single bundle segment over a substantial amount of route points. Now I decide I need a branch point to break it up, can I switch a single into a multi branchable document without having to restart from scratch?

I was wondering what the command is called to add an accelerator to it, I would like to use the W key to bring up the favorites pane.

Sometimes I can't quite get the correct perspective on an auxiliary view to get it to give me the right value, is there a way to use a fake dimension and associate it with a part model parameter? that would be a reasonable exit when you just need to get things done fast but don't want to make it...
I am about to go on my holiday break and don't feel like partying, feel like breaking into the world of FEA and CFD instead! I would like to do some or multiple little projects on my own to build experience, and be able to show it when applying for myb first simulation jobs in the future.
I am...
I would consider myself possessing an ample knowledge of finite element analysis, applying proper LBC, material properties and so on. If I would want to double-check a simulation study, I would opt for solving a simpler or complexer study by changing mesh types.
I know it is common practice to...
I was wondering if you can generate a bill of materials of a multi-body part? or inside of a product an indented bom that might go along the lines of 1/2/3.1/3.2/3.3/4/5/6 depending on whether its a single part or a part with several bodies as the numbering goes through the product structure...
This one might be a bit filosophical, but either way, as I get more knowledgable about a particular topic why do I feel like I'm getting worse...not better? It's more like a curve, as I go from a complete beginner to intermediate I feel like I am getting better. Ok. However, as I start to become...
I love working behind the computer doing CAD but these past few months, I have been getting some health issues that cause me discomfort and mild pain, enough to throw my attention off.
Doctors are idiots. Since they seem to not figure out what it even is, let alone what I can do to help it. The...
I have a multi-body part where I want to make a drawing, excluding one body in the part.
If I go back to my 3D and I hide the body, the drawing view hides it too but I don't want to need to hide it in my 3D.
Can you hide bodies in a drawing view?

I am wondering whether it is possible to reverse the zoom direction, when I use my scrollwheel and move it forward I want to zoom in, not out.
I like NX but this is paramount for me.
Thanks!
