I have a general question of drawing types (ASME Y14.24-2012) to be used for hardware assembly involving ground support equipment.
Basically the hardware used is designed to support and attach to an assembly or various other assemblies, but I need to define how that hardware is installed. By...
Has anyone noticed a issue in either Creo 2 and 3 (or later versions) that has the product of inertia showing the wrong direction (positive or negative)?
I've found recently that Creo 2 and 3 are reporting the incorrect sign or value (depending on the placement of mass) for the product of...
I’m hoping I might get a poll from folks on this forum on the idea of Parasolid exports containing assembly structure. Siemens really only measures NX needs/wants based on IR generation, so the wants of NX users is probably not effectively captured if only IR’s are looked at.
Currently NX is...
I thought I used to remember a function that allowed you to build a set of components as something you could reuse. I see they have a reuse fastener function but I remember it being simpler where you could place several components together and define that as a template to be used to place...
Question for folks that have very large assembly experience and folks that are in the know with how Siemens might see the future of particular NX functions...
Is the Simplify Assembly function still a mainstream utility for managing large assemblies in NX10?
Given other CAD systems (Creo...
So I must be mixing CAD systems but from some reason I thought this worked before...
If I create a lower level component that has freed degrees of freedom, so for example a spherical bearing where the ball can rotate about its center, and assemble that bearing assembly into another assembly...
Does anyone know of an all-encompassing cheat sheet for the basic NX syntax you can type to achieve when typing into notes, expressions, tables, etc. for linking the various data contained within a model/part/assembly/drawing?
Along with that, does anyone know how one might link the quantity of...
I can't seem to locate much on the process of using alt reps for parts or even assemblies.
I'm considering using the alt rep to show a model in a manufacturing condition as a part missing specific items that would later be machined at the assembly level.
The master part contains all the features...
Can someone please enlighten me on how you toggle an exploded state of the model in a drafting view?
I have the exploded state created in the master assembly model and all the views are created based on the master model, but I can't figure out how I toggle the exploded state in one particular...
Would anyone have insight into the workings of an NX assembly in regards to what may slow down the model response in regards to interacting with the model (rotation, zooming, etc.)
I have a very large 10,000+ part assembly where I only load certain sections of the model depending on where I'm...
Does anyone know how I would drive a dimension that has a reference that is not located on the view where the dimension resides. Where the dimension receives a double arrow on one side for the reference out of view.
I want that dimension to be driven by the model but I don't know how to create...
Is there a way to have a circular detail view boundary where in the detail view the boundary is trimmed at only the visible geometry. (Using NX 9)
Example:
Instead of having the boundary wrap around where no geometry is shown.
As shown here:
Thanks!
1) Is there a way to export material properties whne exporting a STEP file in the AP214 format?
Using NX 9 at the moment.
Reading about the AP214 format it shows that the file is capable of storing that information.
Within the STEP export the line items would look like this...
Does anyone know how you can place a non moving PMI note(s) within a model, so as to follow the rules of ASME Y14.41-2012 (Digital Product Definition Data Practices)
Section: 8.2.1 Notes Area Annotation Plane
When general notes, flag notes, and special notations are placed in a model, they shall...
Does anyone have any recommendations regarding this below. Using NX 9
When I change a parent feature that is referenced by a following feature you would think that if an edge or other entity is deleted, changed, or replaced the following dependent feature would fail, error out, or as least flag...
Does anyone have an insight into how one could sketch perpendicular to the geometry of a cylinder and have the sketch attach to the imaginary line defined by the side of the cylinder when seen from the side orientation?
I'm using NX 9.
Here's an image to convey what I mean.
Does anyone know if it's possible to run Part Cleanup as a batch run outside of NX?
Is there an external EXE file for that function that could be run on a folder or group of parts native and/or within Teamcenter?
Is there a way to display in the part navigator the status of say an extrude, revolve, or any feature that contains a sketch the constraint status of that feature?
If you have an external sketch you get a note if it's constrained or lacking constraint, but if the sketch is internal to a feature...
I haven't been able to get this to work with Arrangements but given how arrangements work I thought it would have...
I create a cable routing that follows a clamp when that cable assembly is installed into a higher next assembly.
The cable assembly is defined as a deformable part and the spline...
Using NX 9 Electrical Cable Routing...
Does anyone know a way to add in-between points to a spline path routed within the Electrical application?
It only appears to give the option to add points following the last point created where if the last point happens to be at the connector it doesn't...
