I am trying to import a large STP file. Every time i get the same outcome.
The file is a weld study from our manufacturing team that contains the weldment and its components as well as the weld torch in several locations.
NX does create a lot of components parts from the step file but fails...
in the surface ribbon, there is a sew surface tool. (it may be hidden and you will need to turn it on in the ribbon)
select this tool and select one of the surfaces.
select all the other surfaces that you want united.
hit the preview option to see if/where you have errors (you will most...
Yeah, I think Catia is loosing market share because they don't do any thing user friendly. They have started to make user friendly changes in the 3DX implementation of Catia V6. But, why would any one who doens't use cad or models (the bean counters and executives who make the decisions) go back...
This error is caused when the silhouette is to complex for the algorithm and it fails. (some times this will not make any sense to you as to why it fails). you may need to fake the line inplace temporarily by changeing your view Dress-up from Boudary to one of the other radios and copying the...
hmmm... not sure about that. i didn't see that in the video you linked. (to be fair, i don't speak Hindi?)
I know that the part can be parameterized and that you can have differing lengths. I think there might be a way of doing it, but no one has ever asked me to try. it is easier to just throw...
Each of the main softwares focus on different aspects.
As a result of this each software is best suited for different use cases.
Catia - Product design (if you have dedicated designers and shared components)
NX - Mechanical design such as tooling, fixturing, also can work well for product if...
Yes.
you can use Catia formulas to create the links between length and pitch.
you do not need to define extra settings, you only need to create a formula
1) in Generative Shape and Design (GSD) create an extract of the surface you want to scribe the lines onto.
(you can do this by using an extract by tangent or by creating a join and selecting each surface)
2) trim the extracted surface to your profile.
3) in part Design use Sew Surface

I am getting this when I try to run optistruct for this model:
*** ERROR # 4965 ***
Maximum number of time increment cutbacks reached,
analysis aborted.
any suggestions?
I've attach the out file for reference.
This is probably too late. but this looks like the surfaces are not stitched together. are you sure that the edges between those surfaces have been joined?
Geometry->quick edit
toggle edge
left-click on the edge
the two edges should join. if they do not, then change your tolerance to a larger...
Hello,
I am trying to modify the content of a text box on the detail sheet via a macro. I tried using the code below but it gives an error. (the code works for modifying text in a drawing sheet)

that is part of the environment settings. it can be changed in the "standards" menu under tools. you will need to be cat admin to prform this change. also, these settings are stored in the drawing so may need to redo the print after you have the standards changed. if you would like to not do...
I used to do some thing similar to this out of KeyCreator. it came in quite handy for cnc bend chart data using excel.. reminiscing aside..
