changing decimal character input in NX12

$

Hello,

 

I would like to ask how to change decimal character input in NX12. I went from customer defaults all the way to annotation, where there is comma set as decimal character and comma is what is actually displayed in text and sketch values. But when I type number with comma, I can not enter it as system says I have syntax error in my input value as show in picture bellow.

Anyone any ideas how to deal with this?

 

Thanks,

David

View NX models in 3-dimension like 3D movie

$

Does anyone know about a software, utility or program which will give a 3-dimensional effect to NX to have a sense of depth to 3D models created in NX?

example : While rotating a model in NX, you see a 3D model on 2D screen. I would like to have sense of depth while rotating this model.

 

Requirement is to watch a NX model just like we watch a 3D movie using a 3D goggles/spectacle.

 

I know about A Reality or Virtual Reality setups or Microsoft hololens like gadegets. But I am looking something simple, used anytime, anywhere without much of efforts on any model in NX.

Modeling from NX 10 to NX 11

Hello all,

 

In this moment I'm having a big problem. For some years I used NX 10 to create some templates (Gears, screws, etc). Recently the company change the version to NX 11 and when I try to use those templates is not possible to update them because are open over-restrained and some expressions are missing or the operations are wrong.

 

Could you be so kind to help me with this issue? I really don't have idea what is happening.

 

I've created new templates in NX 11 but the big problem is with all the parts that have been created along all this years.

How to link Part family instance with expression?

$

Dear Members,

I am looking for the option to link the Part-family member with an expression dynamically. Please share if there is any option to achieve it.

For example:

The part family table contains the unique entry as “Item” number. And the assembly where the member called has expression to locate. Then we can use it to filter out exact member by applying criteria.

The problem is this expression doesn’t remain associative to criteria condition or at least I am aware.

Please refer attached image for more understanding.

 

Thanks in advance.

I would personally like to meet anyone who is here on the list at the upcoming PLM Connections. I have two sessions as of now which are NX Assemblies and a Knowledge Theater for Machinery Design. In addition to this I will be at the NX station in the exhibit hall. If you going to attend PLM Connections this year let me know and I can keep an eye out for you.

NX MCD: "Align Body" Function

$
0
0

Hey everyone,

 

on NX 12 there is a new function called "align body". I thought this could help to center a workpiece in a gripper or a chuck, even if the pickup position isn't exactly reached. For the "align body" function you have to define the associated body and its orientation (the point where this body should be aligned to another body), as well as proximity (up to which distance the alignment works).

In the following example I defined both the workpiece and the chuck as aligned bodies.

Now my question is: How can I integrate the alignment into the sequence editor? For example that the workpiece is centered in the chuck before it is clamped?

 

Many thanks in advance!

 

Regards,

Janne

Can you export "Snapshot" data created in NX DMU module to JT ?

$
0
0

DMU module inplemented in NX 12 is useful capability for product development events like "design review". And datasets created in DMU module are also useful for communicating stakeholders other than mechanical designer through JT using JT2Go.

 

Then can you export "Snapshot" data created in NX DMU module to JT and/or PLMXML/STEP AP214XML with JT ?

NX and JT2Go can create and view snapshot datasets, I think.

Hello everyone,

 

Actually we are testing VDI deploement with VMware horizon. We have 2 tesla M60.

 

I'd like to know if some of you use this kind of deployment ?

 

And if you have some latency with 3d mouse or rotation with normal mouse ?

 

Or anykind of observation Smiley Wink

 

Best regards

 

Adrien

Connect variable number of FE components in AFM

$

Hello!

I am currently encountering a problem which I am (so far) not able to solve.

I have a casing structure as a part file and I want to connect this casing via a variable number of struts. One strut is modelled in a part file and loaded via "Pattern Component" n-times in the assembly. So far, so good.

Now I want to connect the strut-ends to the casing with RBE3 elements. On the casing, I have a pattern for the "strut support" faces, which is divided from the main face. The RBE3 shall connect the beam end point to the edge of this strut support face.

 

On first view, this is not a problem, but the RBE3 connection does depict a manual operation. So if I would change the expression "Number of struts" from 12 to 13. One RBE3 element might be missing.

 

 

Is there a possibility to "pattern" also the strut + strut-to-casing connection so that it is robust if i change the number of struts?

 

Thanks!

 

 

 

Remark: I am working with a shell-model casing and a beam model strut

How to rotate the drawing sheet while working on the tables

i have a problem working with drawing sheet in NX i want to rotate the drawing sheet clockwise/counterclockwise while working with the tables in drawing,

is there a way to rotate the whole sheet to ease up the view of drawing table

any alternate solution would be great

Component Replacement

$
0
0

I have an assembly with about 25 parts in it (so a smaller assembly).

 

I am replacing parts in the assembly. For instance one of the parts that I am replacing is a part that became a subassembly.

 

Is there a way when I replace these parts that during the replacement that I can remap the constraints so the constraints don't fail?

Is there a way to map the features that are used for constraints to features on the new part?

 

Table Expression for Quantity Column

$

Does anyone know if it's possible to control a value displayed in the quantity column of a parts lists table via an IF ELSE statment?

 

Specifically when the component properties Quantity Type is switched to As Required for the quantity column, which shows $~Q to display either the quantity or "A/R" (when the Quantity Type is set to As Required) I want to control a different result if the As Required is set.

2018-05-18_7-41-36.png

Can an expression for that cell be set to show that result?
For example...
if ($~Q="A/R") ("BULK") else ($~Q)

 

Thanks!

I can't seem to get that to work.

Automation of parametric model

$

Hello

 

I am planning to develop a parametric wing model using NX. The idea is to use programming to achieve automatic creation & update of the model geometry and mesh pattern (pre-processing of FE), which is expected to facilitate my structural optimisation work.

 

I am wondering are there any specific tools/options available in NX which can achieve this objective? Or what are the common methods that NX users usually apply for this kind of task?

 

Many thanks
