I ran the NX stress wizard on a part, upon completion it generates a simulation report (html file) showing lots of values for the material properties. Most of these values are listed as not defined or null, as is the value for Young's Modulus (E). Since I am running this stress wizard to proof...
I would like to apply a force on point on a surface to see how a construction behaves under that load. I use the NX Stress Wizzard and can select planes and lines, however not point. I know there is a mesh point option but that seems to be only available in the Pre/After module. Since I am using...
Is there a way to have a white background behind the digits of an annotation?
I can't avoid putting some dimensions over the geometry in a drafting view, I would like them to have a small white background (like text box colour background in powerpoint) that covers the geometry so that they can...
I want to put a logo on a model of a cylindrical surface. This question has been asked in this post as well but nobody replied to it. The texture mapping at least has an option to cylindrical wrap the texture but that is not the solution.

Hello fellow NX users,
I have created a slightly curved surface (constant radius) to represent the dashboard of a car. I added thickness to this surface to make it look like a metal sheet and have cut a few holes and cutouts in it. Now the challenge is to create a flat pattern of this part so...
Hello fellow NX users,
I have heard a lot about the new rendering module in NX 10, especially the new raytraced studio. Having just migrated from 8.5, this really looks like a big enhancement. Having worked with 3DMax in the past to render projects once they were completely finished (because of...
Is there a way to temporarily disable the decals applied to a model in Ray Traced Studio? I don't want to delete the decals from the model/assembly because they have been carefully positioned. Is there a rendering setting that controls the display of the decals maybe?
I am considering to build a dedicated "light" assembly for rendering purposes. The assembly in question is quite heavy and contains a lot of geometry that will not be visible from the outside. I think it would be a good idea to make a seperate assembly and delete all of the geometry that won't...
I have made a drawing (master-model) of a part that has a threaded hole in it. I would like this threaded hole callout to appear on the drafting view. I have been using the insert>dimension>feature parameters function, then selected the features in the list, the drafting view (a pattern) I would...
I've been very much looking forward to trying out the new rendering capacities in NX 10. The result is rather disappointing however:
When I try to switch to Ray Traced Studio the system crashes and I get the following error message, any idea what might be causing...
I'm trying to open a sub assembly directly into the main assembly because I want to create some new linked geometry links. When I try to open the assembly there is a message saying "Updating linked face (25). 1 remain". I can open the subassembly on its own and have suppressed all the linked...
Is there a way to add a note to a drawing view in drafting? I know how to add a note to a drawing sheet and then position it under the relevant drawing view, but I wonder if there is a way to "connect" this written information to the viewport. I'm for instance making a sheet with different...
I'm using the master model approach to make several 2D exploded views of a 3D assembly. I have configured these explosions in modeling by defining several model views. I have then imported these model views in drafting. The explosion is being displayed accordingly, at least as far as the...
Hello NX community,
I would like to display the thread of a hole feature in the drawing view. I'm using 8.5 and the master-model approach. The hole is created using the Threaded Hole option, I basically would like to display the Size (M5x0.8), Tap Drill Diameter and Depth of the hole.
So far...
OK, after all the hard work I would like to make some nice renderings of my project. Usually I would turn to 3DMax or Keyshot for this purpose, but since I no longer have these programs available I would like to have a go at it in NX 8.5.
One big difference with the previously mentioned...
Hello NX community,
I'm working on an assembly made out of several sheetmetal components. I use the master model approach to make individual drawings of these parts. I would like to have as much information as possbile "automated" in the drawing file. I wonder if and how it would be possible to...
I'm placing a vertical dimension in a drafting view. By default, this dimension flips to the left side of the dimension line. For practical reasons, I would like to position the digit on the other side of the dimension line (in this case the right side).
How can I change this once the dimension...
Is there a way to make a partslist display only the parts that are shown in a drawing view? I have made an exploded view of some (not all) components of an assembly. However all the components show up in the partslist when I make one. I just want the partslist to display only the parts that are...
Hello NX users,
Simple question: how do I display the "first angle projection" symbol in a drawing? I tried Insert>Symbol>Custom. A menu shows up, but I'm lost from there on. I tried the search function but no result. I'm using NX 8.5
Another question regards the projection setting in the...
